Yeah, that's right: Gummi Fried Eggs! Who comes up with these ideas? I can understand the cola bottles, cherries, peach rings -- those are all things that are already sweet. The traditional bear shape makes sense if you think teddy bears and trying to appeal to children. I'm even down the with gummi severed body parts they sell around Halloween. They are macabre, a little twisted, and I buy them every year.
Of course I had to buy these immediately. Who knows when I will see gummi fried eggs again? I'm not sure why they are out now. I'm guessing anything egg related is supposed to be associated with Easter. They were strangely alluring in their weirdness.
I decided the best way to showcase my special find was to make cupcakes. I have no good reason to make them; they are purely to celebrate the magnificence of the candy. I'm taking them to work tomorrow because what the heck am I going to do with that many cupcakes? They would petrify into little cupcake paperweights.
Behold!
For the record (and to keep my coworkers from being grossed out at the idea of what they might be asked to ingest): the gummi fried eggs taste vaguely like vanilla, or marshmallow. I can't really put my finger on it.
While awesome, it still seems like a strange choice of food to recreate in gummi form.
