How Dirty is a Help Yourself Candy Store?

HOW DIRTY ARE GUMMY BEARS AT A HELP YOURSELF CANDY STORE?

In the name of science, an enterprising young researcher took samples from containers of gummy bears at a candy store to see how clean or dirty they might be. The TikTok video showing the experiment was put up on the @howdirtyis account.

The video shows a candy store with gummy bears and other treats out on display tables. The video then shows a pair of hands swabbing gummies with a long cotton-tipped swab and puts the sample in a tube.

As the creator then does in these videos, they prepare culture dishes in a lab to see what grows on them.

Then, the big reveal on the gummies: No growth at all.

Commenters had reactions ready. “I thought you were about to ruin candy for me too,” one noted. Someone else said, “Did not expect that!”
