ThinkGeek Gummy Bear Light
Delectably adorable We love gummy bears for their deliciousness, but did you know these fun facts about our favorite chewy treat? Gummy bears originated in Germany, where they're known as Gummibärchen, which means "rubber bear." Haribo, the... original gummy bear company, started in 1920. We wonder if speakeasies in the US soaked gummy bears in vodka... Many brands of gummy bears aren't vegetarian or kosher because they contain porcine gelatin. (We wonder where the bacon-flavored gummy bears are?) There was a fear that gummy bears made with bovine gelatin could transmit Mad Cow Disease to humans. After much testing, it was determined to be a "minuscule" risk. This particular gummy bear is not to be eaten. Really, he's made of plastic and he doesn't taste very good. He's an accessory that makes an adorable nightlight for a wee geek's room or quirky ambient lighting on the desk of a grown-up geek with a sweet tooth. Just squeeze his rubbery belly and the built-in LED will glow.
