Gummy Army Men Will Blow Up Your Gut

A couple months ago, I mentioned that you could buy a massive bag of gummy bears of the Haribo variety over at Amazon for like $10. I ordered up a bag of those ones, and when they came in, they were stale and hard. I was pissed about it too. I mean I ate them, it was five effing pounds of gummies after all. Once that bag was out, I decided to try the five-pound bag of Albanese 12-flavor Gummy Bears and they are the best gummies ever. They were all soft, had way more flavor than the Haribo version and for only two dollars more I will order more. In fact I am considering a gummy bear subscription. Amazon really knows what I like and as a bonus they won’t make your rectum hate you after a gummy eating marathon.

If you aren’t a fan of gummy bears, perhaps these gummy army men will appease your combative sweet tooth. The downside is they only come in green, so they are all apple flavored. That said, the reviews are very positive, and people say they taste like green apple Jolly Ranchers.

They look just like those toy army men you used to play with as a kid. They come in four different poses, so you can act out battle scenes with them, and then the losing army’s heads and legs get eaten off.

You can grab a five-pound bag of these over at Amazon for about $16(USD).

Darth Vader Helmet Made of Gummy Bears

Luke, I am your candy! Nooooooooo! I don’t want cavities! (Luke jumps.) This cool and tasty Darth Vader helmet made out of Gummy Bears was made by Crummy Gummy. It’s a 1:1 scale replica of Vader’s helmet and it took over 1,000 of the squishy candies, and an unspeakable amount of patience to complete.

This candy helmet was exhibited at the Wyn317 Gallery in Miami, Florida. It took about a month to create. As Obi Wan would say, “He’s more candy now than man.” That may be true, but there’s still good him him. I can taste it.

I’m guessing he uses one of those long giant gummy snakes instead of a Lightsaber. I just realized that’s a pretty weird image, seeing Gummy Vader fighting with his flaccid gummy snake. You’re welcome.

Gummi Bear Candle Melts to Reveal Its Skeletal Insides

First, it was a cat. Now it’s gummi bears. But these huge 3-pound gummi bear candles are not what they seem. They’re undeniably cute, cuddly even if they weren’t made from wax.

But the horror sets in once it starts burning…

Aside from the usual puddle of wax that you expect, the candle burns to reveal the gummi bear’s skeletal innards, with ghastly sharp teeth and outstretched claws.

All the better to scratch you with, perhaps.

It’ll take a while before the true nature of these giant gummi bears are revealed though, as each one burns up to a hundred hours. The Gummi Bear Skeleton candles are currently up for funding on Kickstarter, where a minimum pledge of $50(USD) will get you one of your very own.
