Gummy Gummy MEAT!

This country is great at combining sugar and meat. Chocolate-covered bacon, honey-glazed ham, McGriddles... and now this. Which is definitely the STRANGEST combination of all. In Hugo, Minnesota, Grundhofer's Old-Fashion Meat market is selling GUMMY BEAR BRATWURST. Spencer Grundhofer, who owns the market, actually mixes whole gummy bears in with his bratwurst meat. Then, it all gets jammed into the casings. And apparently, people LOVE them. Spencer says that people can't get enough of the mix of salty and sweet, and he's selling about 50 to 75 pounds worth of gummy bear brats every week. He also says that, as far as he knows, he's the only person in the country selling them. And Grundhofer's just "bearly" getting started. He's already trying to discover the next big flavor: grape, orange and cherry Kool-Aid brats. Grundhofer is also open to customers' suggestions. Anyone who hits upon a good idea will get $25 and a couple packs of brats. Read more HERE
The number for Grundhofer's Old-Fashion Meat is 651-426-2800
