World's Largest Gummy Worm Makes Us Squirm

With a length of more than two feet of rubbery goodness, the Vat 19 gummy worm is the perfect solution for all of you who prefer your candy mutant looking (the worm version of the irradiated ants in the 1950s horror flick "Them"). In fact, the company claims it's the world's largest worm, at three pounds (and it offers a couple days' worth of calories, 4,000 to be exact).

Don't worry about eating it all in one sitting, though (and, frankly, we don't even want to go there) -- it has a shelf life of about a year. And if you need something a little more cuddly than a huge worm, you can always opt for Vat 19's five-pound giant gummy bear.
