Usually, when you think of a vegan, you conjure up a person who refuses to eat dairy products, poultry, fish -- someone not to invite to the annual BBQ Ribs-O-Rama bash.

I attempted making veg*n gummi worms and it was a total failure! Disappointed, I scoured the internet. And placed an order.SO. I'm eating these gummi worms right now.... How, you ask? Is this possible? YES. They are made with carageenan! and by Haribo, no less! This website called veggiestuff.com that is uk based ships to usa!! The only downside is shipping is like 10 british pounds.. but... Oh my god it is worth it! Having not eaten a gummy...
