The End All Be All Gummy Bear Taste Test

Back last summer I announced I'd be conducting a test, for scientific research purposes, to uncover which brand, in the vast candy universe, of gummer bears was the best. 

I rounded up all the different brands I could get my hands on in Chicago but knew that to adhere to the true scientific method the test must be unbiased. So I needed to gather bears outside of Chicago as well. 

I took to the twitter and was amazed at how many people came through. I received packages from Texas, Georgia, North Dakota, and even somewhere in Asia (I think the Phillipines) from people boasting about their favorite local brands.

The rules for the test were simple-

1- Bears only. No gummy worms, fairies, berries, etc. Had to be gummy BEARS

2- No alternative versions- no sour bears, sugar-coated, razzle-dazzle, etc. (Though we did allow alcohol flavored bears because so many people were adamant about them)

3- Bears were graded on a ten-point decimal system scale. Nothing complicated.

In the midst of the judging, I fear I uncovered a conspiracy/scandal that I pray doesn't rock the Gummy industry. You'll have to watch the video to find out but it's heavy and I fear it runs deep within #biggummy

s/o to my guy @alexschenberg for taking a pathetic zoom video I gave him and turning it into this

Congratulations to the winner. If you know you know it was never really close. Hopefully, I'm incorrect with my findings. If somebody from their PR team would like to reach out I can be reached at dantebarstool@gmail.com

Check back tomorrow for the scores of each brand.
