Gobstoppers are named this way because the slang word for mouth in Britain is “gob”. This means that this candy was sold with the idea that it would stop your “gob” from making noise while you were eating it. The size of the candy can have an impact on how true this is, but the original product was marketed with this silly name regardless of the size of the Gobstopper itself. The origins of the jawbreaker began in ancient Egypt, where sweets were created using natural ingredients such as the likes of fruits, nuts and seasonings , since sugar was sparse and extremely expensive. In India, sugar was being naturally introduced into dishes by deriving syrup from sugarcane.

Although Ferrara Pan remains the most popular manufacturer of jawbreakers to this day, many companies around the world create their very own versions of the sweet. Chewing gum makes you salivate. The one thing your body will always produce is saliva. Saliva has certain chemicals in it which makes it what it is. If you can make some type of reaction, an endless reaction to whatever is in the gum and whatever is in your saliva. That would be the way I'd do it."

Most importantly, the candy constantly keeps you guessing what’s next while you enjoy it step-by-step, or layer-by-layer, as it reveals its hidden colors and flavors. Gobstopper unveils layers of happiness for those who like their candy everlasting. What are the Ingredients in Everlasting Gobstopper Candy? You’re probably familiar with the term ‘gobstopper’ from Roald Dahl’s classic children’s novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but you may be surprised to know that this sweet treat was around far before the book was ever written. Known as ‘gobstopper’ in the UK and a ‘jawbreaker’ in the U.S, these globe-shaped pieces of candy comes in all sizes – from as small as a pea to the size of a golf ball.The Everlasting Gobstopper is a spherical candy, and as a normal gobstopper or jawbreaker, as we all know, this candy has several discrete layers that make it even more interesting. Each layer is a different color and flavor. The candy was described as having discrete layers that change effects as each layer unfolds in the book. The actual candy also functions similarly. The traditional candy was made with an aniseed at the core of the Gobstopper. This was the hard center that was used to add all the other layers onto the Gobstopper. The layers might be colorful or offer different flavors as well. This process took a couple of weeks to complete so that each layer of liquid sugar could harden properly in between dipping processes. Gobstoppers have been sold in traditional sweet shops for at least a century, often sold by weight from jars. As gobstoppers dissolve very slowly, they last a very long time in the mouth, which is a major factor in their popularity. Come on, Charlie. Let's get out of here.

"They fill you with bubbles, and the bubbles are full of a special kind of gas, and this gas is so terrifically lifting that it lifts you right off the ground just like a balloon, and up you go until your head hits the ceiling - and there you stay."

The phrase “gobstopper” comes from the British and Irish slang term “gob,” which means “mouth.” However, in the United States, hard candy was created by the Ferrara Pan Candy Company in the early 1900s, and it didn’t become a part of our vocabulary until the debut of the 1971 film, and only then as a confectionery item on the candy aisle. What to Expect From Everlasting Gobstoppers Gobstoppers usually consist of a number of layers, each layer dissolving to reveal a differently coloured (and sometimes differently flavoured) layer, before dissolving completely. Gobstoppers are too hard to bite without risking dental damage (hence the name "jawbreaker"). Although it may not be sugar-free candy, the good news is that the Everlasting Gobstopper candies are gluten-free. Both the Original and Chewy Wonka Gobstoppers do not have gluten-containing ingredients, but what you should consider while getting this candy is that it seems that there may be a high possibility of cross-contamination in the manufacturing process.
