Abstract
A liquid-holding edible gummy or edible chew for oral consumption by an individual is disclosed. The gummy is a novel, cost-effective, hollow edible that enables users to consume a desired liquid such as an alcohol shot, a medicine, and more without using conventional bottles, cans, and more. The gummy includes a housing made of a gelling substance and the housing encloses a central cavity which holds a liquid. When the gummy is bitten or chewed, the liquid comes out from the cavity and provides a unique way of consuming the liquid. The gummy can be used as a delivery device for alcohol, medicine, non-alcoholic beverages, etc. The gummy is formed using a mold and the liquid, for example, can be injected inside the cavity through the housing.
