Chemistry rocks.
There's a lot of energy in those things, making me think that we should invent a GummiBomb!

You realise of course that the DHS will now search you for Gummy Bears at the airport.
If we can't chew delicious sweets, the terrorists have already won.
And wow, that puts out a lot of energy!
Made me think of the Mythbusters making rocket engines that ran on meat.
Yeah, it was the same kind of jet.. Though the meat never actually was consumed in either test. :(
Once again, Science shows us the way. It's easy to forget how much chemical energy is stored in sugary foods sometimes. Until someone does something like this. WOO!
