Info from Licensor: "The weekend was coming, and so was a scorching heatwave. We thought, let’s do something fun and creative! So, we set out to create a giant gummy bear by melting down hundreds of tiny gummy bears. The kids had a blast sorting them, strategically placing them in the pan, keeping an eye on our gummy bear throughout the day, and stretching it out as far as they could. But when they tried it, they wouldn’t recommend it. We had put the giant gummy bear, whom we named Gummy Bill, outside at 11 am. It was 92 degrees, but it was heating up fast. When we checked on him again at 1:30 pm, he was a gooey, bubbly mess, completely melted. We thought, let’s leave him out for a few more hours to see how much more he’ll change."
