What happens when you leave gummy candy with different liquids?

When gummy candy is left in different liquids, it undergoes a process called osmosis, where water molecules move in and out of the candy. In liquids like water or soda, the gummy may absorb moisture, causing it to swell and become softer. Conversely, in sugary or salty solutions, the candy may lose moisture and become harder. The specific outcome depends on the concentration of the liquid compared to the gummy candy.
