It all started Friday afternoon when I got out of calculus. My friend Alexis had said something earlier in the week about going to Wal-mart on Friday, so I sent her a message to see if we were still going. She said that we were gonna catch the bus at 2:15, so I went back to my dorm to let an hour pass by. After an hour was up I left for the bus, got on, and in no time we were rolling up to Wal-Mart!!
The first thing we needed was a vacuum part to fix her vacuum, so to the vacuum isle we went. They didn't have her part so she decided to get a brand new vacuum all together. She just needed it for her dorm so we just got a little vacuum, and it was good! Right after we got that vacuum I saw little rugs you would put in a kids room that had a Cars theme. I picked it up and put it in the cart to annoy my friend.
Next we were walking out in the main isle and we heard a child screaming, so being the curious people that we are we went to go find out. It was just some kid in the toys department screaming so his mom would get him a Spongebob book. We were close to the movie section, and she wanted to buy Wall-e, so it only made sense to do that now. We looked around for a few minutes to find it, but apparently we didn't look very well because it turned out to be right in the first place we looked, and something else that made us feel stupid was that it was a designated Disney section.
When we got back to the cart she finally saw the cart, which is quite baffling how she missed it because it stuck part of the way out of the cart, and it still took her like 10 minutes to see it. We went back to put the rug back and while we were there I picked up a Wall-e bedspread set just to be annoying again. Then again she didn't notice it. Then we got a big mirror, which covered it up and made it even harder to see. We went around the store got some more stuff and finally after like 15 minutes she finally noticed the big square in the cart with the blanket and sheets in it.
We had to go put that back to, she just liked to spoil my fun! When we got there I put a blanket in the cart, but this time she was watching and she noticed right away. It was okay though cause she liked the blanket and she ended up buying it too. We made our way to the check out, we checked out, and it was all good. Except for the fact that I had to carry the mirror and the vacuum when we went back to campus.
Sure I left out some of the more minute details of the trip, but it was still a pretty good trip to Wal-mart!

World's Larges Gummy Bear!
I am truly an avid fan of the gummy bear. I know that there are many types of gummy candies, but none of them are quite the same as those little squishy bears hibernating in their bags. One night over break I was just checking stuff on the computer, and to my surprise my friend shared a link with me. A link to the World's Largest Gummy Bear! Now the site that the link sent me to was set up to sell one of the greatest products ever to the mass public, but it also gave a lot of information and put a little bit of humor in too.
This gummy bear is equal to about 1400 regular size gummy bears, is 9.5 inches tall, and it weighs around 5 pounds. As you can tell this is not a snack you want to sit down and eat in one sitting, especially since it contains a whopping 12,600 calories! You could either share it with friends, or just take tiny servings and just wrap the rest up to eat at your leisure. Either way it will last up to a year if wrapped properly.
The site offers two ways to eat the delicious glob of sugary goodness. First is the bite, tear, and chew method. As you could probably guess this consists of picking up your bear, sinking your teeth into it, and then ripping away at it to your heart's content. The second is the knife and fork method. Which is also pretty self explanatory, just sit the bear down on a plate, jab your fork into it, and saw away at it piece by piece with the knife. I would probably prefer the bite, tear, and chew method, but to each his own.
There is also a warning about not getting to emotionally attached to your bear. Sure it may be adorable, but the bear was specially created to be consumed, and nothing would make it happier. The warnings include the following:
- Don't take your bear sight-seeing around in a baby bjorn.
- Don't teach your bear how to play the piano.
- Don't put your bear in a crib and sing him lullabies.
- Don't feed your bear regular sized gummy bears. World's Largest Gummy Bears aren't cannibals! (my favorite)
Doesn't this just seem like the greatest product ever! Even if you can't eat this whole thing they offer a Giant Gummy Bear on a Stick. Sure it loses some of the novelty because only about an eighth of the normal size, but it's on a stick!
Curious? Excited? Doubting the accuracy of my words? Go check it out for yourself!! It can be found at http://www.vat19.com/dvds/worlds-largest-gummy-bear.cfm.
