I was given about 25 packs of gummy bears, the Haribo kind. They are solid globs of gummy bear, someone left them in a vehicle.
Any ideas or uses for them? Maybe some kind of candy stained glass?
Hate to toss them but even the chickens will not eat them.

You could melt them back down and re mold them. Saw some one freeze dry gummies lol

Have you ever seen the funny (and somewhat gross) reviews on haribo gummy bears?
There are a few out there. Lol

I'll have to look them up.
Counted them and I have 28 packs.
The chickens will definitely not eat them.

If you can freeze the packages and they thaw out well without being ruined. Give them out for trick a treaters on Halloween.

Just wondering why you took on such a burden? 28 packs of "ruined" gummy bears? You must be very brave.

Everyone passes down "animal" food to me. I come home to find bags hung on the gate.
Boxes of overgrown garden veg...last year it was masses of Zucchini & okra, you know, the too hard to cut okra & too large to eat zucchini.
So this time it was melty candy.

I can honestly say I have never had a trick-or-treater in 32 years here.

3 out of 15 goats ate a piece of gummy bear🤪.
Are they ruint for life? One was Ernest.
One out of 4 dogs ate a piece of gummy bear.
Rendell was already weird.
No cats even considered eating a gummy bear.
They have standards.

Lol cats have standards! Yes they do and they often remind people of this fact!

The over grown okra we always would either let seed out or string and dry to seed. Works great!

Overgrown zucchini is the kind that works great for baked goodies!
Just cut them in 1/2 lengthwise so you can scoop out the pithy part (maybe goats will still enjoy that part?) and then you can cut into spears to grate up. You’ll never know it was an overgrown boat when eating zucchini bread muffins 😂

In case you needed ideas for the zucchini bound to come your way… it’s still early in the season, but they’ll be hanging in your door before you know it 🤣

Going out on a limb here but my grandkids soak gummies in alcohol.🤫 (Drinking not rubbing.) After 24 hours I am sure someone would eat them.😏
Seriously though, there is zero nutrition in them so I would write it off as a loss. No need to turn the livestock diabetic.
I doubt my son would even let me put them in the compost.

I was looking at shot glass molds...
I wouldn't let me put them in the compost.
I doubt there is anything natural in them!
Today the animals get to taste test old dry split peas,
Someone gifted me 4 lbs. I am pretty sure the chickens will gobble them up.
