GummiJello
Explosion of jiggly flavour, in a fun, chewy package. | |
Everyone loves gummi bears.
Everone's enjoyed biting the heads
off of those little chewy bundles of
joy (well, I like to bite those heads
off). And for some weird reason,
they still don't get caught in your
teeth!
Now just imagine that with everyone
else's favourite dessert: That
bouncy,
slurpy, refreshing, juicy...
that almost, but not quite solid,
stuff in a bowl that you wish you
could have more of.
Now think of this:
Liquid jello injected into a giant
empty cube made of that gummi-bear
stuff, then refrigerated and left to
jello-fy INSIDE that cube! Even
better, make that gummi stuff shaped
like something else, like maybe a BIG
bear, or other kinds of cute, edible
animals. And with all those
different colours of gummi-bears, and
all those flavours of jello, the
combinations are endless. I think
they'd
make for good dinner-table bouncy
balls too.

In my youth, I briefly helped with the layout for a chemistry student magazine. Its editor-in chief poured considerable energy into creating giant gummi bears. |
|
| |
He'd melt lots of little gummi bears (they grow quite a lot as they dissolve in water - if you've never done this, put one in water now and look at the glass again tomorrow), pour that mixture into a large bear-shaped pudding form, let it set, and out popped one perfect, appealingly wobbly gigantic gummi bear. |
|
| |
Over the following week, we'd then invariably watch that wobbly shape shrivel into a hard, thin gummi bear skeleton as the water evaporated from the gummi mixture. |

Apparently it's hard to stabilize this stuff. It did perform well as a very durable kind of hair gel, though.| — | jutta,

We now have giant Kit Kat bars. Why not a whole range of giant sweets ? I'm thinking of wine gums the size of saucers here .... uh , what was that noise ? Oh, yes, I know ... it was my pancreas, shrivelling up to a little greyish-black wizend thing from glucose overload .... |
