Dress Made From 50,000 Gummy Bears
The hottest fashion trend is also the most delicious and it’s this 220lb dress made from gummy bears.
Made out of 50,000 gummy bears, the rainbow dress was handmade for TWELV Magazine’s debut issue and weighs in at a hefty 220 pounds. It takes three people just to move the thing, so this is clearly not a dress you can go out dancing in.
KFC Sued For 8.3 Million After Poisoning Girl, Leaving Her ‘Brain Dead’

Sugar As Addictive As Crack, Causes Cancer
More bad news for those like me who have a huge sweet tooth and no dental insurance to have it removed. Sugar isn’t only bad for your teeth and your waistline – now researchers are equating it with poisons and illicit drugs.
According to brain scans, sugar is as addictive as cocaine, the California-based endocrinologist told CBS News’ “60 Minutes.”
It causes a euphoric effect that triggers dopamine, the chemical that controls pleasure in the brain.
The average America eats a third of a pound of sugar every day — 130 pounds a year.
Sugar consumption is down 40% since the 1970s but high fructose corn syrup consumption is way up.
