Jun 12 2008Anatomy Of A Gummi Bear (They Have Bones)
From the same artist that brought us the anatomy of a balloon animal comes this anatomical study of gummi bears. As you can see, there's a lot more going on inside than just delicious gummidom. They've got brains, bones, and even penises. So yeah, not eating gummi bears anymore. Say, have I ever told you about the time I bet my roommate he couldn't fit a whole package of gummis in his mouth at once? Yeah, he choked to death. Now I have the big room!

Thanks Alex and Shawn, I didn't like gnawing the heads off those gummy bastards anyways

That is just not right.
I used to LOVE getting the crunchy Gummi's. And now I find out it is all because some careless worker at the Hello Kitty factory forgot to take out the Gummi skeleton! I tell ya that is just crazy talk. Next thing there will be fur balls in my Hello Kitty Lolipops!
Wait till the http://prewife.com hears about this!

I've never been a fan of gummi bears, only gummi worms. Oh yea; and what's really hot is to eat gummi worms with your lover/partner/friend (trying to be all inclusive here) and you take one end of the worm and your significant other takes the other end and you have a "Lady and the Tramp" moment. That's gummiliciously hot.

They do have bones. soft squishy delicious bones. Dammit, now I'm off to the vending machine to see if they have any gummi type products.

Makes me of think of a similar concept done by Michael Paulus

When I saw the picture I thought they were making a gummi bear with skeletons and organs... I was so excited I wet myself... Then I saw it was just a picture.
Fuck you Geekologie, I need new pants.

3 - gummi bears do have eyes.
at least the ones i eat...
however, the balloon anmials this guy did earlier - they do not have eyes.

Anyone else think this should be called Anat-YUMMY?
Eh, eh?
You're right, I'll go back to my cubicle.

I simply LOVE this! Such a cool, humorous concept.

that doesnt beat my little pink gummy babies. I leave them in bowls at abortion clinics with a sign that says "free snacks"

Interestingly enough:
Under "reproductive" it says
27. testicles
28. penis
My question: where's the vagina?
Are they all males and reproduce thus? In that case, they should be asexual. Interesting how one little detail like that makes the whole thing fallible.
Also, it reads: "carpus" and "metacarpus" instead of "carpals & metacarpals"...so what about the "tarsals"? And "liver" should have gone under "circulatory" since it's there to remove toxins from the blood.
All other "anat-yummy" parts are made with the vocabulary of a 6th grade textbook.
The IDEA is interesting as far as art goes, but if you're going to go all out...go all out.

This is obviously a male Gummi so the added inclusion of a vagina would make it a hermaphrodite.
The Liver is technically part of the gastrointestinal tract and is considered an accessory organ to the digestive system.
the "carpus" is the group of bones that make up the wrist and it looks as if that is what is pointed out in the diagram.
the "metacarpus" is the region of the hand between the wrist and the phalanges, again pointed out in the diagram.
the "tarsals" are not noted but then again so are a lot of items ;)
I wouldn't use this diagram to study for your gummi anatomy class but It is a lot of fun.
