Cannot Bear the Worms

I bought a small package of Gummi Bears from the vending machine at the office today.

In this bag there was something of a bonus... or at least something different.

There was a big Gummi Worm in the bag, the kind that are two flavors mixed together in alternating segments. This particular one was red and... is it white or clear... the flavor without color.

This lead to some speculation about the relationship between Gummi Bears and Worms.

We eventually decided that worms represent some sort of immature state of bears, and that when the worm reached maturity, the segments would break apart and develop into individual bears.

For no particular reason, I could not bring myself to eat the worm at that point, a problem I have had with Mezcal as well.
