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 gummy bear will never change back into its original form.

Why does the gummy bear decrease in size when put in salt water?

When a gummy bear is placed in salt water, it decreases in size due to osmosis. The higher concentration of salt outside the gummy bear causes water inside the bear to move out into the saltwater solution to balance the concentration of solutes. This results in the gummy bear losing water, shrinking, and becoming firmer in texture.
