No offense, mind you, but that was a really dumb commercial even by 1970's standards. It was moderately amusing, but still really dumb. However, I can assure you that people will buy those 2' gummy dildos (directly implied in two of the segments - "as long as my - leg" and "don't know what to do with it&quot .

But hey, I'm a vegetarian. I don't do gelatin. It's an animal by-product. I won't even buy jelly beans with gelatin in them. So yeah, I've got a bias against gummy-whatevers.

I've never seen them before. Must be shopping in the wrong stores.
