Wow, can you build a gummi house out of gummi Lego bricks?

I googled gummy lego house to see if I could find a pic of one. No luck, but I did find a lampshade made of gummy bears:  I teach science and there is a lesson I do with the small children where we compare a gummy worm with an earthworm. One comparison I always make with them is that only one of them would be nutritious if you ate it, and it's not the one they'd want to eat... |

Jazz, that is utter food porn. I want the giant truffles in the bowl, upper right corner.
I love the chandelier. Now there is no need for me to go to the isle of Murano!

Here they have marshmallows shaped like babies in gross pastel colors. Yuck.

But so much fun to poke a stick through and hold over the camp fire!  |

www.merello.cl/malvas.htmlThis is what they look like. I do a project for work on candy and my former boss had to see them for herself, so I had to send a few bags to Chicago. Apparently they were quite the conversation piece.

In France, when they first started selling Marshmallows (called Chamallos), they were multicolor pastel colors. I think that the ones that they sell now are all white, but I think that they are also less common than 10 years ago.

ick ick ick!
Marshmallows -- "bon bones" -- are popular here. Sometimes vendors sell bags of the nasty colored things at big intersections. Just the thing I want to see when I'm hot and in a bad mood because I'm stuck endlessly at a light sweltering in exhaust stink.

Rik, what are they called? I've already forgotten their name, goddam! Erfrischungsstaebchen or something?
Bixa, if what they really are what I think they are the filling is a thickish fruit jelly. No alcohol.

That's it. You are out of here!
Go to your room and don't come out until you can play nicely.

Kids love snot. That must be a major selling point.

You mean snot woman. I can see the boogers hanging out of your nose. I bet you bake them into cookies.

Erfrischungsstäbchen, yes... well i would call it more a juice than a jelly, not really that thick... and then there is a sugar coating, and outside chocolate. so you can either bite open one end, drink the juice, then chew the sugar and chocolate. or you let the chocolate melt in your mouth until the whole thing breaks and the juice comes out.
