Idiots that hire other idiots and purge the competent. It's a self-solving problem, but one that leaves a crater.

In real money, initial overheads:
Granulated Sugar (only 2 cups of which used): £1
Gelatine: £1.30
Orange extract (of which only 2tsp are used): £1.50
Yellow food colouring (of which only 2tsp are used): £1

(Later batches will only require the purchase of additional gelatine)

HAAAH XD
Didn't realise the word "Gummies" had been completely co-opted to mean "drug-infused sweet".

There were no bears.
Igthorn was just running around the forest, high as f**k.

You can try dusting them in corn starch/flour or MORE sugar.
How well that takes depends on how much water you used to make the gum.

If you're in control of the mix; you can do whatever the hell you want. That's why home cooking is always better than pre-made slop.

RIP Rob Grant, writer and co-creator of Red Dwarf.
I f**king LOVE those first few series.

Still working on that one. I think I need to add more oil.

They exist, but I imagine they'd be more trouble than they're worth.
Easier to make your mix and tip it into a deep, greased tray. Leave to set, tip it on to a board, then take a knife to it.

They have to be kept on ice.

No.... but with the amount of sugar in these things; eat too many and you WILL be able to see sound.

Started making my own chocolate a while back.
Thought I'd take a shot at other confectionery.
Behold; the Mark 2 Gummies.
(The Mark 1s were..... unstable)

I WILL be free of the over-priced brands!!

"16bit Sensation: Another Layer".
I think it's actually a sequel to an earlier "16bit Sensation", if Wikipedia is correct.

That one ended up getting fleshed out into a full comic script XD

There's an anime about an illustrator who travels back to the distant past (1992) and has to work for a company making 16bit video games?

..... well that's something I think I need to see!

Another Bruno Heller production. He makes really good stuff, but the studios/networks then SEE it's doing well and start interfering.

Eeeey! Didn't know SG1 was on Netflix!
That's my background noise set for the next few weeks.

There was a reason I made the "Doctor Who" comparison XD

I really DO mean "quit after series two".
Series 3 was produced under different overlords and is one of the most awful things I've ever sat through. Thankfully, series 2's climax acts as a satisfying ending.

Just finished "Pennyworth".
That was.... GOOD (as long as you quit after the first two seasons).
It has f**k all to do with Batman and the crazy alternate timeline in which it's set is fascinating. It was like watching "Doctor Who" with swearing, violence and fascist-punching.

It's a continuation of the "attack what more people are likely to be against than for" approach they've thus far used. No one with any power is voicing opposition, so they'll keep broadening the scope of the new laws. I'll probably be in a gulag before the decade is out.

Again: even funnier.
Are the crews going to whistle innocently, too, as they try to slip one ship after another into the area in the hope that no one notices?
