The gummy bear would get smaller and shrink because the salt absorbs the water in the gummy bear
Gummy bears are all made out of the same thing corn syrup, water, sugar, coloring, and Gelatin. The gelatin in the gummy bear acts like a sponge and makes the gummy bears absorb water. If you place gummy bears in water they all will swell over time.
When you put a gummy bear in tap water it grows.
Well...maybe. But it doesn't change very much because when you soak it in the water, The gummy bear will expand(size). So it just changed its volume and size.
If you have already soaked it in tap or distilled water, It is very large. Soaking it in salt water will cause it to shrink because there is now a high percentage of water in it, And not a lot of salt. The salt from the water gets absorbed by the bear. Now, the water percentage has decreased, So it is not as large. However, the gummi bear will never change back into its origonal form. -Claire

salt has certain chemicals that preserve. if you ever ate salt you would know how it shirks your lips. now the salt shrinks the gummy bear by preserving it. plain water on the other hand destroys the gummy bear because it kills and sucks every think out of the gummy bear making it slimy. no water does nothing at all.
Gummy bears grow in water because gummybears are made of mostly gelatin and water so the other water is sucked up from the gummybear.
The gummy bear has substances that are:glucose, starch, and gelatin. All these substances absorb water. However, they all absorb water, the starch and gelatin are prevented from dissolving in water. So the water swells the gummy bear rather than dissolves it. In simpler words the gummy bear expands or grows alot larger
