Kids (and adults too!) love gum-based candies such as gummy bears and gummy worms. But do you have any idea where and how it was made?
Alina Kneepkens, a Belgian filmmaker directed a short film showing, in reverse, how gelatin candy is actually made. The movie started with the finished product going all the way back to the animal skin and lastly to the live pig.
The said video has since gone viral, was shared, reuploaded by netizens and garnered a thousand comments, sparking a debate on the practice of how the sweet treats were produced.
Some netizens even stated they will be banning any jelly sweets from their home while others believed that there's no harm done on this practice saying that, "All I see is the use of all the animal. Nothing wasted. We eat animals, we are designed to."
