In Videos: Gummi Bear in Molten Potassium Chlorate
What did this red gummi bear do to deserve death by extreme fizzling in a test tube? I doubt he willfully offered his body to science. The brave, sqiushy soul proves that he and his race cannot survive molten potassium chloride reactions. (He really took one for the team here.) Watch the gummi bear death after the jump.

My chemistry teacher performed this "experiment". She told us it was a sacrifice to the Gummi Bear gods.

I'm not sure what is funnier- the video or your description, Erin. Maybe since it's Friday and holiday weekend, but I was laughing my head off.

You know for a second I thought the last line said, "Watch the gummi bear jump to his death."

Looks like another renewable energy source to me.

I think I heard every chem student snickering with the line 'the reaction is said to be product-favoured'
