'Drunken Gummies' or 'Boozy Bears': Latest Teen Alcohol Craze
Colorful gummy bears are being transformed into "boozy bears" or "drunken gummies," alcohol-laden candies that kids as young as middle-school-aged may be eating right under their teachers' noses.
Florida health officials are warning schools about the latest craze -- kids soaking gummies in alcohol and bringing them to school in clear plastic bags.
Apparently the gummy "worms" work the best for the purpose. Officials from the Lake County Safe Climate Coalition, a nonprofit group that targets youth substance abuse, have experimented themselves.
"Of course, we tried it," said the group's executive director, Debi MacIntyre. "You lay a couple of them in the bottom of a pan and the alcohol is gone by morning. They are long and skinny, and they actually plump up quite big."

Two Florida teens told ABC News' Fort Myers, Fla., affiliate, WZVN, also known as ABC News-7, that drunken gummies are the latest trend in hiding alcohol use.
"I have to say they're pretty good," said Adam, 17.
It's the latest trend! Two Florida teens said so!
Also, I think I need 750 ml of vodka and a few pounds of gummy bears.
All of those guys learned to sing and play guitar because as a teenager, they figured out that absolutely nothing gets women out of their pants faster. It's the same reason all of the actors got into acting.
I don't know what actors David Wong has been hanging around, but based on the theatre folk I've been around in high school, college, and the community theatre scene, I don't think sleeping with women factored into many of the guys' decisions to take up acting.

Enh. I went to school with a lot of panty-hound male actors, so I don't think it's exactly a
rare
thing, even though I doubt many people would bother going through all that agita just for sex.
Well, I want to doubt, anyway.
But if the female wacky sidekick isn't attractive, like the overweight Melissa McCarthy in Bridesmaids, then every scene needs to be about how ugly and fat and mannish she is. That has to be the core of her character.
He's got a point about female sidekicks in general, but Bridesmaids was not created by or for men, and Melissa McCarthy's character is a pointed commentary on the type of fat sidekick character he's talking about. She is all of those things - ugly, fat, mannish - but if this guy thinks that's the core of her character, he clearly hasn't seen the movie.
Go look at a city skyline. All those skyscrapers? We built those to impress you, too.
Right. The fact that Manhattan was built up instead of out has nothing to do with the fact that it's a port city on a tiny island made of schist.
So, potato pancakes.
Sour cream or applesauce?
I'm eating them right now with applesauce AIFG!
tommyrot, clearly the answer is both!
Both.

I had rummy bears at a party last year. Wicked good. After a few drinks, natch.
