POSTED BY - September 1st, 2010

One or two of you may remember last year around this time when I consumed Penelope Pineapple, one of the elite members of the World’s Largest Gummi Bear™ club.

Since then millions of people (give or take a million people) have asked me what my next big eating adventure will be. I am happy to report that the makers of the WLGB have provided me with not one, but two next big adventures. And I am requesting your help in choosing which one I will go on first.

Choice #1: The World’s Largest Gummi Worm™

The World’s Largest Gummi Worm™ is the next logical step in the evolution of big gummi. I love gummi worms, more than gummi bears actually. I think it’s because they are multi-flavored and always seem to stay fresher longer.

There are multiple gummi worm flavors. After carefully consideration (there were ten to choose from) I decided on the combination of cherry and apple. It measures 24.5 inches long, 1.75 inches wide and 1.5 inches tall. It smells good.

Choice #2: The Gummi Brain

I don’t know if this is considered the world’s largest gummi brain. They don’t package it with that title the way they do for the bear and the worm, so I don’t want to assume. Regardless, it’s big. So big, in fact, that it has to wear shades.

How cute is that?

Gummi Brains only come in one flavor: pink tropical fruit. That’s going to be a little bit of a challenge. I like tropical fruit flavor, and I like eating gummi, but will I like the two of them together in such a large quantity? I’m not sure.

So, faithful readers, the choice is yours. Do I eat the gummi worm or gummi brain first? I plan to start eating this Saturday, so please let me know your thoughts in the comments section soon.

    @Sean – Yeah, I too have thought that might be the best way to go. But then again, eating the brain may kill me and then I wouldn’t get a chance to eat the worm!!

    I have never seen a 24 inch gummy worm and i am convinced that you mushed two together to make this one!! :) The comic gave me a good giggle

    Worm first, since it’s officially the “World’s Largest”. Doing a non-worlds largest would make you seem like just another wanna-be.

    @Jay – You make a good argument. I don’t wanna be another wanna-be. I wanna be me.

    @PookeyG, @GummiFan4Eva – Your exclamation points make your votes count twice as much. That’s some serious democracy in action right there. :)

    I vote for the worm. 2 flavors and 24.5″ of delicious gummy-ness. There’s no contest. The worm.

    @Noe, @M – Dually noted. Get it? “Dually” instead of “duly”? I crack myself up.

    I have to admit that I’m starting to feel bad for the brain. C’mon people, is anyone going to send out some brain love?

    Do the worm first and then save the brain for Halloween night when AMC premiers their new Walking Dead show. Maybe do a theme and dress up like a Zombie while you eat it. Make sure to record it on video.

    @admin – I like it!

  18. Ben, put the worm INSIDE the brain, and do them both at the same time.
    Problem solved!

    i’m with Agent-X. drill a hole into the brain and have the worm crawling through it …. i’m all for playing with food.

    @Agent-X – That is a brilliant idea. But I’m kinda worried that something would blow up, specifically, me. It may just be too much gummi.

    @erin – Step into my office cause you’re bleeping fired!

    I am voting brain. I’m with save the best for last. (as an aside, with the enlarged photo of the end of the worm with the ruler and all of ya’lls enthusiasm for how tasty it looks, well . . . I’m just wondering about you guys).

  22. Brain! Go for the brain! Don’t eat the glasses though.

    @Lisa, @Luke – Yay! Thanks for voting for the brain. The brain is feeling some love.
