Oh those poor gummy bears... If you're a fan, then look away now. If you like slightly strange photographs and/or you are REALLY bored at work then this is the one for you. These gummy bear trends depict our favorite sweet treats in perilous situations. Unlike other gummy bear trends this one is really mean and shows them spiked, eaten and stretched. I tell you, those cocktail sticks and swords are dangerous.
If anyone can find me gummy 'Street Artist' shaped sweets please send them my way and I will do a nice collection of torture pictures for your enjoyment...
