What is the best gummy candy shape?

Are you asking me to discount the texture and flavor differences between e.g., Haribo Gold Bears, Swedish Fish, and gummy peach penguins and only consider their shape?

I don't think I'm capable of that.

Oh, good point! I was going to say bears, clearly. But I didn't even think of swedish fish as a gummy candy. But if they count, I vote for them. But if only shape can count, bears. The size and shape are just right to maximize surface area, and the surface is the best part.

Gummy bears are also excellent for biting apart and then Frankensteining back together.

you can't discount it!

my preferences aren't so much based on the shape, for the shape itself, but rather how the shape is textured and flavored.

Toothbrush shape.

personally I like red licorice laces (IE the ones that taste nothing like licorice).

Project Runway showed the light: Gummi Sharks!

I like the Haribo coke bottles. I can't separate the flavor from the shape, but that is my favorite. Or else those raspberries, but maybe those don't count as gummy?

Rings, like peach rings. This is because you can thread them onto your camelbak tube when on extremely long bike rides.
