The Gummy Bears pool on Flickr is more compelling than I first expected it to be.

With the right lighting, they are rather angelic.

I am enjoying a tasty bag of gummy bears right now. They are the most perfect candy.

Man, now I want gummy bears. I want to bite their little gummy heads off.

Very neat. I always love finding good macro photography. (though I prefer jelly babies to gummy bears)

Personally I chose to keep an open mind before I prejudged the Gummy Bears pool on Flickr.

er that would be 'instead of prejudging' rather than 'before I prejudged'. Argh.

It's funny because it's true!

Want a gummy bear? They've been in my pocket all day. They're real warm and soft...

In high school I'd set a big bag of gummy bears on my dashboard in the morning. By lunch it was a delicious, humongous, solid gummy-brick. Yum!

I demand that the gummi worms of the world be represented in this post.

At the front desk of a hotel in Berlin, I found gummi representations of the little green and red light-up figures you see on pedestrian crossings. The red ones were cherry, and the green ones apple. They were the most intensely-flavored, satisfyingly chewy gummies I have ever tasted, and was disappointed when they told me that one of their employees brings them in from a little shop in the former East Berlin, and that they didn't know exactly where it was. I would probably have bought a couple shipping containers' worth if I could, so it's probably just as well.

That is all.

Really enjoyed this, thanks :)

Fiance and I found out by accident gummy bears get huge if you leave them in water... looks like we weren't the only ones.

Tread lightly, Brittanie, this struggle is centuries old. But since you are an obvious anti-ursine, I give you this.

I hope you're happy.

There is no chance that the gummy bears beat the gummy worms when they get down to business. Stubby little arms and legs don't generate much force, and the gummy worms are more like gummy anacondas on steroids.

There should really be a video game or television series about this epic struggle. GUMMI WARS BATTLE FOR THE GUMMIVERSE
