Get a Gummy Clone of Yourself

A hangout in Japan called FabCafe is giving men the option to create a life size gummy bear 3D model of themselves.

Gummy Man

For the Japanese “White Day” and in case you're wondering what White Day is - its Valentines Day. Invented in 1978 by the National Confectionery Industry Association as an "answer day" to Valentine's Day, White Day is celebrated on March 14th in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and China... but especially in Japan where guys who received gift chocolates from members of the opposite gender can feel a crushing sense of social obligation requiring them to return the favor.

 Gummy You

Men get their entire body 3D scanned. Then they come back and pick the color of their gummy clone. Your 3D model is printed out, a vacuum molding machine creates a cast of your model and then the sugary gelatin is poured into the cast. Welcome the sweet gummy you.
