Jul 15 2009Good Enough To Eat: These GummiLights
GummiLights are expensive rubber lamps designed to look like Gummi Bears. Unsurprisingly, I tried to eat one. Shocked? I was. I'll be here all week folks, make sure to tip your waitstaff.
These GummiLights are made of a translucent rubber and measure in at 7-inches tall. They're illuminated by brightly glowing LEDs and come in a variety of candy-like colors, including red, orange, yellow, clear, blue, purple and pink. Each one is powered by rechargeable lithium batteries, and can run for about 20 hours on a charge.
A single bear will set you back $125 or you can get a set of 5 for $500. But, if you want something that'll really light up the night, you're gonna need me. I'm so bright my parents call me son (I'm on a roll today, folks!). Also, "little shit" and "a terrible, terrible mistake". Anybody want to adopt a GW? I spoon.
gummi bear lamps are unfortunately not edible [technabob]

These would e perfect to string around the Christmas Tree.... or to taunt kids with braces into thinking they've gone insane, I guess you could do that to diabetics too. "OMG EVERY WHERE I LOOK! GUMMIES!" anyone know where i can find like some kid of diabetics support group? i need to change out a few lights.

These would only make me want to buy and eat more gummy bears. No thanks.
18. Freddy K - July 15, 2009 3:38 PM
#13 No I already mentioned twat in the post above. I AM capable of thinking about other things, just not for very long.

FAKE! it's a total photoshop job, you can tell by the shadows.
reminds me of my show, when 12-pack tried to convince flex, london and sinister that he was a gummy bear by giving them all acid and then dressing up like a furry

#15, read #11 again - he was rolling with your joke, that's what ron burgundy says when champ first says that he loves lamp.
22. Jerry - July 15, 2009 6:28 PM
More of what I never wanted in the first place.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photohop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max was being chased by some mobsters who wanted him to enter a bare knuckles fight. He told them he was retired, and then beat them up. He also had his monkey disassemble their caddy.

@ 26
Lol, thanks! Looking at it again I guess I misspelled a few more too. Like instead of Gawd, its God. And instead of gonna, its going to. And instead of "Thanks!", its "damn you to hell for calling me out". Silly me, maybe next time.
