== History ==

The first bear shaped [chocolate](/source/chocolate)-covered [marshmallow](/source/marshmallow) [candy](/source/candy) was invented and manufactured in 1962 by the chocolate factory Bouquet d'Or, in [Ascq](/source/Ascq) (now [Villeneuve-d'Ascq](/source/Villeneuve-d'Ascq)), [France](/source/France)<ref>''Saveurs – Tendre ourson…'', by Marie-Laure Fréchet, 2008-10-16, http://www.unpeuplusaunord.fr/2008/10/16/saveurs-tendre-ourson/#more-351 {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081113235829/http://www.unpeuplusaunord.fr/2008/10/16/saveurs-tendre-ourson/#more-351 |date=2008-11-13 }}</ref><ref>magazine Saveurs, novembre 2008</ref><ref>''Ces objets branchés qu'on s'arrache'', Le Parisien, 2007-04-12, « Pour les 40 ans des fameux oursons guimauve de Bouquet d'or-Cémoi Chocolatier, une boîte collector, conçue spécialement pour Colette, a été lancée en exclusivité en décembre 2005 », http://www.leparisien.fr/paris/ces-objets-branches-qu-on-s-arrache-12-04-2007-2007936145.php</ref> under the name 'Petit ourson'.

Some confectionaries have started to make their own bear shaped chocolate-covered marshmallow candy as the Bouquet d'Or's one, as [Nidar](/source/Nidar) in 1975.

The Villeneuve-d'Ascq chocolate factory was bought by the Cémoi Group<ref>[http://www.paperblog.fr/4743551/le-petit-ourson-guimauve/ Historique et produits illustrés] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120105030052/http://www.paperblog.fr/4743551/le-petit-ourson-guimauve/ |date=2012-01-05 }} sur un site d'amateur (août 2011)</ref> in 2003. Since then, annual production of gummy bears has tripled, reaching 3,000 tonnes in 2012.
