Gummy Bears
 
I know at one time right after 9/11 gummy bears were prohibited in carry-ons. Is this still the case or is it now ok? Am leaving on Tuesday for Europe and thought I would take some, but only take a carry-on.

haha.. i highly doubt that.. although my bags did get sent for a secondary inspection because i had some sneakers bars inside them... they must have melted or something.

I bought some gummy cherries at a shop past the John Tyner Memorial TSA Checkpoint in San Diego last week. What can I say, I was having a sugar jones. That said, I've never tried getting gummy anything past a TSA checkpoint, but I'd be pretty surprised if they made me toss them, but a war on gummy bears would be pretty tragic.

As a gummy bear mule between the US of A and Europe I can advise that I have had no problem. :D

Real question here, because the definition of liquids gels and pastes always eluded me: Gummy bears are OK, but jello or pudding are not. Why?

It was just a thought, also thought of bringing some "American" candy such as See's etc. I remember once on the train travelling from Germany to The Netherlands there was a woman who boarded at the border, she had crossed into Germany to get gummy bears because she could not get them in The Netherlands, of course this was many years ago.

I don't think anyone in Europe likes Hersheys "chocolate" so don't bother with that !

Please don't give the TSA another idea what to add to the confiscation list! :mad:

Personally I agree. But one of my English cousins always asks for Hersheys Dark, Reses Pieces, and things like that. Go figure. I suppose the grass is often greener...

(It definitely is for livestock...)
