How about we revisit an old feature that I used to run semi-regularly on this site? It’s the Sunday Burst of Weirdness, where I link an item or two that struck me during the previous week as “Wow, that’s really weird.”
We’re going to start with a guy in Britain who decided he was in the mood for cola-bottle gummies (these are gummy candies shaped like cola bottles and flavored like cola), so he bought a 3kg package of them and ate the entire package over three days. I had to look up the weight conversion, because I’m a non-metric American, what do I know about kilograms…that bag is over 6 pounds. Dude ate six pounds of gummy cola bottles in three days.
Did it go well? If it did, I wouldn’t be linking this at all!
Ouch.
