Have you heard the one about the super unsubdivided way of packing a eminent amount of alcoholic drink into gummi bear ? I was extremely sceptical , so like any good scientist * I decided to try it myself . The result ? Hooboy …
It ’s Friday afternoon , you ’ve made it through the retentive week , and it ’s time forHappy Hour , Gizmodo ’s weekly spirits column . A cocktail mover and shaker full of founding , science , and intoxicant . Ooh babe , let ’s get inebriated .

Get Really Drunk Off Gummi Bears
The technique is simple-minded to the point that it sounds idiotic : whole step 1 : Empty a handbag of gummi bears into a container . dance step 2 : pour out in enough vodka so that the gummis are altogether covered — and then some . Step 3 : Cover the container , put it in the fridge , and get out it for 3 - 5 days .
That ’s it . There ’s no elbow room that could work , right ? My hangover says otherwise .

For my experiment I used a bag of Haribo Gummi Bears and some very tasty Tito ’s vodka . After three days I pulled the gummis out . They were significantly cock-a-hoop , as you’re able to see in the pic with the tape recording measure . I pop one in my mouth , and there was that unmistakeable high - proof alcohol burn . These thing are potent . And the texture had dramatically changed . It no longer had the gummi chewiness — it was more like a very loyal Jell - O , and you could almost slurp them . Yes , little , bear - mould Jell - atomic number 8 shot . They were n’t quite “ done ” after three days , though . They still had a hard gummi core , so I put them back in the vodka , and let them go for another two days .
After five day had passed , I pulled them out , and eat half a bagful ’s worth . In the name of skill . *
Half a travelling bag gave me a pretty decent buzz . I have no doubt that the lettuce in the gummis add to the burden . It may also be because you ’re book the booze in your mouth longer as you chew and explore the texture . Regardless , I was all warm n ’ giddy . The solid core was gone . They were boastful , jigglier , and a bite fluid lead down . That brings me to an important note : these do n’t taste like gummi bears that pass off to have John Barleycorn in them . No , they try like vodka with gummi bear flavouring . Not really my affair , but I was won over by the bauble . So why not attempt it with other spirit , right ?

My 2d round , I used Jameson ’s Irish whisky , Cornelius applejack , and Mansinthe absinthe . They were all jolly undecomposed . The whisky and applejack slew were both very sweet , but passably mild . The absinthe wad was very absinthey . Hard tone of licorice , lot of burn , and they kind of turned white - ish ( see photo ) . A great experiment , but I ’ll probably stick with vodka next time .
I ’ve listen internet rumour that fuzz are taking alcoholic gummi bear from kid on the subway system every day . I ’m dubious . Because , frankly , I tried to take them on the subway ( to institute to a friend ’s home , not to eat in public * ) and they completely liquified in the tupperware container . So sorry . ( see pic )
So , yes , it ’s potential to make alcohol-dependent gummi bear . They ’re not fantastic on their own , but they might be a fun affair to put out at a party . Or , you’re able to use them as a topping on youralcoholic ice cream , and then you ’ve really set about something . Mmm …
