If you’d like an adorable little gummy treat that’ll burn your face off, Evil Hot Gummi Bears are here to help.
The licorice gummies might seem sweet as first. However, they’re infused with one of the world’s hottest peppers, the naga jolokia — aka, The Ghost Pepper.
An unsuspecting gummi-eater could easily grab a handful without knowing the danger. So, please don’t let anyone do that, it would be far too entertaining to watch.

When you’d like to start the day off as gummy as possible, Gummi Bears Cereal is here to help. Actually, it’s nothing more than an enormous box of real gummi bears made to look like cereal packaging. But we won’t tell… Breakfast is served!
Sure, you’ll crash hard around 10:30, but that breakfast buzz was pretty awesome. Plus, you’ll get your recommended daily value of gummi. Available here.

If you were looking to be teased with enticing images of gummy candies that you can’t have — then you’ve come to the right place. Artist Jeanne Vadeboncoeur created these hyperrealistic paintings of gummy bears, that appear real enough to be able to reach into the screen, smoosh ’em, and bite their little heads off. At least that’s how I roll.
Judging by how near perfect these paintings are, you’d think that Vadeboncoeur must surely focus all of her attention and talent into gummy bears and other gelatinous treats — but, no. Vadeboncoeur actually does equally well with donuts, cupcakes, and other creme-filled and defunct food items.

Foodiggity is ecstatic to welcome a guest post from Scott of Foogos. It’s best if we just let him speak now…
It’s been a wild year for my baby, Foogos, and it’s so flattering when other people want to bring you into their corner of the universe to share your deranged visions. Case in point, here I am at Foodiggity.
I’ll openly admit, I have a love/hate relationship with this site. I love all the wonderful foodie posts Chris shares, but I hate how I have to wrestle with not buying bacon and egg mittens, alphabet Jell-O molds, and the like. And as a bit of a health nut, I can do without my brain and belly conspiring against me when I see the occasional mouthwatering cheeseburger or whatever up here. Anyway, I’m excited to be an infinitesimal part of Foodiggity, but unsure what I should bring to the table.
Finally, I got a rare haircut this morning, and it was during the lightening of the load on my dome that the idea struck me: The Joker. Gummi bears. Booya. (I said it.) Cesar Romero’s rendition of the Clown Prince of Crime was my first experience with the Joker — thank you, WPIX reruns. I also love gummi bears. I nibble on a few when I run marathons for a bit of sugar — but mostly I’m relegated to the two-a-day vitamin variety. Anyhoo, it seemed like a perfect match to pair these two loves together.
I went through exactly two 3 lbs bags of Haribo gummies (cheers to you, Amazon), and when I thought I was done, I’d realized I gave Joker an unwanted mullet.
So I went back, swapped out some red bears in the top left with the green mullets at the bottom, and came up with the final product. I may turn this Joker/bears piece into one of a series, recreating all the major players from 1966’s Batman. Feel free to reach out with comments or suggestions for future Foogos ideas. I’ll add them to my list.
Want more Foogos? Head over to Scott’s site here. You can also check out his arsenal of sports and pop culture related food art here. And follow the Foogos on Twitter and Facebook. Booya!
Sure, they look all cute and gelatinous, but these gummi bears are far from sweet. Evil Hot Gummi Bears are infused with habanero chilis — which tend to clock in at 100,000–350,000 SHUs. Just try not to get them mixed up with the clear pineapple ones.
Available for pre-order at Firebox.
