Yeah he's past the point of no return now. This is just quitting.

It's not like they go bad.

Halloween is the perfect time to dispose of them if all else fails.

Not if they're packaged in 5 pound bags, unless you wanna be everyone's favorite house on the block for 7 lucky kids.

I was just thinking of throwing it out a second stores window and yelling, "Here's your trick!"

I'm very impressed he even made it that far.

It's signed "Scott", I'm guessing there's a good chance it's a guy.

SegataSanshiro•

He used "fiance", so either Scott is gay or doesn't know the difference between fiancé and fiancée.

My heteronormative grammar nerd brain assumed the person was a woman from that sentence.

Uhh, pants made of gummi bears?

CL is the windowless van of the Internet. I nominate any one of you to eat some; report back.

I tried; never heard back.

Sugar free, right?

Thanks for posting. I already knew that, but I'm sure others will want to realize that it is real.

I figured you did, but thought I would post the reference for people who didn't know. Good read. Also those amazon reviews....

MrMiracle26•

Entertaining, to say the least. I wonder how much weight someone lost on average after a single bout? Or if that cancer patient really did 'get things moving again' with the cheaper hellbears over what the hospital gave them.

They taste Haribo

MrMiracle26•

Oh my god....I LOVE IT!

NinjaTwerkles•

That gives me traumatic flashbacks from what seemed like an awesome present and quickly turned into the worst birthday imaginable. I think eating 100 lbs of sugar free gummy bears would kill me. Damn, I love gummy bears.

MrMiracle26•

Flashbacks...dear god, how many did you eat?

1
BundleOfHissSunnyside•

I definitely just contacted the poster. Crossing my fingers.

Update: never heard back. Comforted myself by picking up some Haribo.

Same lol.

Challenge Accepted.

Not if they're sugar free... Also, you get the added bonus of flushing your system after eating them! lol

Or just straight up dying, in all likelihood.

What kind of monster buys someone 100 lbs of candy as a gift??

15

A cannibal with a sweet tooth.

Awesome.

A chubby chaser?

Yeah, I'm not going to 162nd for anything, let alone 35 pounds of free gummy bears.

Hi OP. Let's be best friends.

13
radisonOP•

Sure! To clarify, these aren't mine. But we can still be friends.

These are very likely Albanese gummi bears, the best around. You can buy them from their site in 5lb bags, which are like $10 a bag.

Omg 12 flavor gummies. I adore Albanese.

Used to go to school out in Indiana, and we'd stop in Merrillville, IN (where the factory is) on our way into/out of Chicago. All of the candy was dirt cheap and you could look into the factory similarly to how Tillamook is set up (but you don't see nearly as much).

If the candy was off-season or they were trying to clear stock, you could get candy for ~$1/lb, and it was all so delicious.

Haribo also comes in 5# bags.

Link?

But does it include the rarest gummy of them all? The gummy Venus de Milo carved by gummy artisans who work exclusively in the medium of gummy.

10
ScienceisMagic•

Wait gummy or gummi? You don't want the wrong ones, trust me.

Joan_Wayne_GacyBrooklyn•

They're probably those sugar free ones.

I've been meaning to clean out my tubes.

Is that a native thing?

ieatedjesus•

The iniginous umpqua people of the pacific northwest were known to go through "cleansing rituals" at key points in their life, such as when coming of age or before marriage. They would go to the medicine man and ask for five pounds of habiro sugar free golden-bears, a rare medicine named in honor of the spirit of strenth and fury - habiro - and ingest them in the evening. They would go into the woods. As the hours of the night passed, wailing would be heard throught the village. In the morning, an emaciated figure would be found in the steam lodge, half dead from dehydration and ready to take on the next challenge in life.

imyxleTrumptown•

As a native, yes.

I wonder if they're still available. I'll be there in a couple months. Maybe he can hang on to them for me.

There is no such thing as a free Gummy Bear.
