Ginormous Gummy Bear

The daddy of Gummy Bears

Meet the 10 inch Gummy Bear who weighs around 5 lbs (nearly half a stone) and is 1,400 times the size of an average gummy bear. The sweets, hand-made in the US, come in a range of colours and flavours, such as blue rasberry, cherry, bubble gum and apple. The sweets can be purchased from Vat19’s website at www.vat19.com.

They are gluten free and taste exactly as the original-sized sweets have done for decades. But anyone on a budget – or a watching their weight – should look away now. They cost about 24 Euro each and contain a whopping 6,120 calories.

The company’s owner, Jamie Salvatori, said: ‘When we discovered the World’s Largest Gummy Bear we thought it was crazy. We added it to our website and they were an instant success. Seeing such an oversized sweet always astounds people and they can’t wait to share it with their friends and family. We have since introduced a 2.5 foot long gummy worm, a giant gummy cola bottle and a giant gummy snake.’
