Vat19.com: Gifts for those who have everything

Vat19.com is a site that sells … uhh … interesting merchandise. It pegs itself as a “purveyor of curiously awesome products.”

One fun (yet somewhat stomach-churning) item up for sale is the 5-pound gummy bear. Gummy bear lovers, this baby is equivalent to 1,400 regular-sized gummy bears and packs a mere 12,600 calories (sarcasm on that last point). It comes in flavors of BLUE, GREEN and RED. I’ve always loved RED myself. (Price is $29.95).

Other off-the-wall items up for sale on Vat19.com include Notebook and Pencil socks, Inside Out Champagne Glasses, and the Unzipped Glass Bag, a glass bowl that looks like a plastic sandwich bag.
