Gummi Bear Surgery - Oh, the Humanity

by Rebecca Flint Marx, Posted May 28th 2009 @ 3:00PM

Even Gummi bears need exploratory surgery sometimes.

At least that's what the wickedly funny folks at Instructables would have us believe. They've created this hilarious and slightly unsettling series of photos showing the iconic bears going under the knife for such, er, unorthodox procedures as a head transplant, limb transplant and split personality transplant (you'll just have to see that one for yourself). The photos of the procedures are accompanied by helpful hints: When preparing for surgery, remember that "dried Gummi gore can be wiped off with a paper towel or you can replace the whole blade."

If surgery whets your appetite for more Gummi fun, there's a related gallery on the site that teaches readers how to make a Gummi bear fruit smoothie. And the bears themselves might be relieved to see instructions for vodka-infused Gummis -- after all they've been through, they could probably use a drink.

I feel my childhood love of using scissors, exactos, and whatever else I had handy to preform surgery on my gummi bears (though, I think I thought of it as taste expansion) is now validated. Man I love the Instructables. I love split personality gummi bears even more though.
