    Oh man that’s a riot! So if you handle them too much does it turn into a Jolly Rancher?

    You have to wonder how nobody at Mill Farm stopped and said, “hang on a minute…” Unless it’s all one big sick joke?

    MMMmmmmmm Gummi Lighthouses. Is that light coming out of the top of the lighthouse? I bet those are delicious to put in your mouth! Do they melt in your mouth?

    I’m sure this is one of those things where the underling saw what the gummy implied when it popped out of the mold, but sent it right down on the conveyor belt thinking “Eh, no one will notice.”

    I’m mainly concerned with how many bags it would take to fill an average soup bowl? I know a few people who deserve such a gift.

    There’s another double entendre for Scandinavians, as “gummi” means “rubber”. You know, the colloquialism for a prophylactic sheath.
