Omg that fuzzy soap! 🤢 It LOOKS like MOLD! Them when the kid started washing his face with it…🤮

You realize, of course, that the kid in the bearwithfungi commercial is probably someone’s grampa now, assuming he survived being infected with hairy fungus that he rubbed all over his face.

Time for me to do a Pokerogue run with Ursarluna, Beartic, and Bewear. Ivy and I will play a game of disappearing bears... as she smites them all with Mega Rayquaza.

Don't mess with bears! They are apex predators.

Oh, you mean teddy bears? Never mind.

"First up, we have this, uh, soap. It’s soap shaped like a bear. That grows “hair.”"

Tis the season... "cha cha cha chia."

I would highly advise against watching the "Gummi Bears" beyond the opening credits. Nightmare fuel awaits.

Gummi Bears

Bouncing here and there and everywhere

High adventure that's beyond compare

They are the Gummi Bears!

Damn, that has just taken me right back to my childhood.

We used to have so many awesome toys that either killed you or made you stronger. That is, before the Consumer Products Safety Commission came along and ruined all the fun

Sing “Wa wa wa waaa, waltzing with bears! Raggy bearss, shaggy bears, baggy bears, too! There’s nothing on earth Uncle Walter won’t do, so he can go waltzing, wa wa wa waltzing, he can go waltzing, waltzing with bears.” In memory of my beloved friend Sue, who loved this song, and in honor of the holiday.
