In a recent Rifftrax viewing of the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, my friend and I were quite fixated on our love of the giant gummi bears in Wonka’s factory. We began talking about what great light fixtures they would make.

I was delighted to find that JELLIO actually manufactures them!

JELLIO seems to have a monopoly on gummi bear light fixture production, therefore they see fit to charge $125 each or $500 for a set of five (which ensures that I’ll probably never own one). But I just like to know they exist. If I ever have children, I’d be tempted to seek these out again.

For the more sophisticated gummi bear enthusiast, there’s always the Gummi Bear Chandelier:

If I ever owned a candy store, I’d have to spring for one of these. Or make one myself.

Should you have the pressing need to see the gummi bears that inspired this post, they are in this scene:

The closest thing I’ve seen in real life came from Candy Blog’s review of the Big Bite Gummi.

They could be a fun item to share…creatively.

Note: Candy Blog is a fantastic site. Reviews of international treats from the most decadent to the most bizarre.

Thanks to Steph for sharing my gummi love.
