What happens to a gummy bear in coca cola?

When a gummy bear is placed in Coca-Cola, it undergoes a process of osmosis. The high sugar concentration of the gummy bear causes water to move out of it and into the surrounding Coca-Cola, leading to the gummy bear shrinking and becoming harder. Meanwhile, the carbonation and acidity of the soda can further alter its texture and flavor, potentially causing the gummy bear to dissolve slightly over time.
