Abstract: Provided is a soft candy having excellent shape retention and detachability, wherein the soft candy is made from a base composition containing a sugar, a glucide that inhibits crystallization of the sugar, and a thickener, wherein the base composition has a specific gravity of 1.00 to 1.25 g/cm3; and a ratio of the sugar to a total mass of the sugar and the glucide that inhibits crystallization of the sugar in the base composition is from 50 to 75 mass %, or among bubbles present in a cross section of a soft candy produced by shaping the base composition, a total area of bubbles having an area of 0.05 mm2 or greater is 80% or less relative to a total area of the bubbles.

Abstract: Provided is a polarizer protecting film that can have good adhesion to a polarizer when bonded to the polarizer with an adhesive layer interposed therebetween. The polarizer protecting film includes a transparent thermoplastic resin film and a modification layer or layers that are provided on one or both sides of the transparent thermoplastic resin film and include at least one solvent selected from an alicyclic ether and an alicyclic alcohol.
