I came across this World's Largest Gummy Worm Commercial and was speechless. It then gave me a flashback of a childhood friend who was morbidly afraid of gummy worms, so I can't imagine the terror this would have brought. Regardless, this commercial was bizarrely humorous.
When I was a kid about 8 years old, a family arrived from the U.S. from Vietnam, here to stay. I introduced one of my favorite snacks, the gummy worm. Little did I know that my new friend was morbidly afraid of them. I told her it was not real but she was convinced that somehow it was real. Then me being a kid chased her around, "Try it! Try it!" and if I remember I probably was a little mean to think it was funny. Later on, one day, she chased me with a badminton racket filled with adult sized grass hoppers and tried wiping them on me. I was screaming out of my mind, like bloody murder. OK, I guess I deserved that just A LITTLE bit, minus the wiping part because they were alive and the gummy worms were not!
