Gummi Bear Experiments - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

FEIGN · 03-08-2005, 03:55 PM

Can anyone please help.

I recently purchased 6 pounds of Gummi Bears from one of those bulk stores. I can eat a lot, but not that many. Anyway I am looking for some ideas on what to do with them, experiments, gadgets, make things etc..., whatever anyone can think of. I will post any and all results.

Any advice will be much appreciated.

Thank you

Most of my ideas involve making them hump eachother or trying to make them kiss their own butt.

ObieX · 03-08-2005, 04:07 PM

Maybe you can find one that looks like john travolta and sell it on ebay

TexanAvenger · 03-08-2005, 04:16 PM

Make a mini trebuchet and see how far you can launch one of those bad boys. Hell, make a mini castle too and light the bears on fire. Launch 'em at the castle and judge yourself on accuracy and how long it takes to burn the castle to the ground, as if there were a mini war going on in gummi bear kingdom and you're launching the offensive... with your own men as ammo.

keep them warm in your pocket... then offer them to complete strangers...

Eat the first 5 pounds as fast as you can. With vodka. The remaining 1 pound of Gummi's will then give you instuctions. Just ignore the lies. Gummi bears are notorious fucking liars.

I know how to make them go boom.....good times I tell ya

I dunno where you live, but a favorite pastime on the weekend nights (when we aren't drunk ourselves) is this: our dorm has an elevator. We fill it with some random thing (Balloons, flour, "do not cross" tape), and just watch drunks stroll in from the bars and become confused. Usually involves a video camera. Stuff an elevator with gummi bears, see what happens.

this idea sounds the best by far, right next to the launching a gummy offensive on your own gummi kingdom! LOLOLOLOL

Put on your own, live action, performance of the gummi bears cartoon.

Bossnass · 03-08-2005, 08:02 PM

Gummy bear entomology. I was once at a guy's house whose dad was a bug fanatic. (His dad) had butterflies and dragonflies impaled on pins in relief frames. So he had the same thing... but he used gummy bears, little chocolate men, etc. Changed out the display on a semi-regular basis.

la petite moi · 03-08-2005, 08:07 PM

Put them in different ice creams. Try at least one hundred different ice creams with gummi bears. Watch your stomach explode.

Jeff · 03-08-2005, 08:20 PM

Throw them off the top of a building and try to hit people. They don't hurt, though you might piss somebody off.

I'd totally spread them across my bed and sleep on them, though. That'd be sweet.

ObieX · 03-08-2005, 08:29 PM

Construct a laboratory for the explicit purpose of creating a master race of gummi bears.

You will ahve to maybe move to a secluded island someplce to avoid suspicion, Suggested island name: Island of Doctor Bearo.

Then once your army is completed:

march forth and convert the world to gummi

skier · 03-08-2005, 08:30 PM

Melt some of em down and make a gummi-cake. Triple layer. Cut out slices and serve to friends.

that's all i got.

0energy0 · 03-08-2005, 08:37 PM

I've played with Gummi Bears before.

Construct a massive Gummi Bear by using icing as your glueing agent (same as in gingerbread houses). I'm not sure how much 6 pounds is, but try to make a big one.

Or, you can make a mosaic out of the multi-colored bears. Show it off to your friends. Just make sure they don't eat it.

What i would do is freeze them. Then use them as pellets for slingshots or toy guns. They are great, less damage than a paintball, more damage than bean bags. Luckily, if you shoot one in someone's mouth, they get to taste it. Am i strange or what?

Fremen · 03-08-2005, 08:48 PM

Put a few in the microwave on a plate, melt them down, making sure they combine together to form a colorful puddle or other shapes.
Take them out and let cool 'til you can handle 'em.

Tada! You now have edible stained-glass panels.

You got anybody that makes crafts? Sell them some panels. Make 'em pay for it.

Manuel Hong · 03-08-2005, 08:52 PM

Will they actually melt in a microwave, or will they expand like a marshmallow?
Let's ask Bill Nye the science guy!

They'll melt.
I saw it on tv, and if it's on tv, it must be true.

Jeff · 03-08-2005, 10:14 PM

You could encrust them in gold

Eat them in interesting ways (They're good with milk!

)

Just don't feed them to your dog

Damn stole my idea

. Cept mine was to put a whole shit load of em in a bowl then stick em in the microwave to let em melt then let it cool and solidify again and take a picture of it so we can see what it looks like

You may also try pranking one of your friends. Stick the gummy bears all over his car and take a picture of it or something. Just not if it's hot out cause they'll melt and that would be bad. Or maybe put em all over one of your drunk passed out friends or some shit.

Asta!!
