A team from Vat19, a company that creates large videos featuring unique gifts, set out to make a giant gummy cheeseburger for their kids. The team spent a week working on the project, using various materials such as foam cutters, molds, and unflavored gummy bears. They created a giant Big Mac-style box, buns, patties, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and sesame seeds, all made from gummy materials. The finished burger weighed 48.9 pounds, exceeding their initial estimate of 26 pounds. The team successfully assembled the burger and presented it to their kids, who were thrilled with the creation. The video ends with a shot of the kids enjoying the giant gummy cheeseburger, and the team calculating that the burger contains 165,484 calories, which could sustain a person for 82 days.
