Mailbag: Giant Bomb Mailbag: Leave the Giant Gummy Worm; Take the Toblerone

It's a very diabetic Christmas!

What's in the mail? Is it an old T-shirt? A lunchbox full of rusty knives? Video game treasures? Canadian energy drinks?

Dude probably spent a fortune to mail that stuff to them as a Christmas gift and they all shat over it because cynicism is funny right?

Just kidding. So glad to see Alex <3

Baldism is a serious problem in our society. Don't be so insensitive.

I always feel bad when they do videos like these. I just imagine some new poor user on the site thinking it would be awesome to send these guys something "funny" in the mail and when they get it all they do is talk about how dumb it is, how they are just going to throw the stuff out, or give it away to people in the office and never use any of it themselves. Such a waste of money and time sending this stuff in.

Unless it's gummy stuff with powder on it, gummies taste shitty after about 7.

You don't get your hairline from your parents. It generally comes from your mother's father. So if he was bald or balding, there is a good chance you will too.

Not to mention it doesn't matter when it happens. It WILL happen.

Also, Alex is lookin good lately, if I was a woman, and I happen to have one of those worms giant worms.... MERRY CHRISTMAS

Wait, what Ryan said has got me thinking... DOES WOLVERINE HAVE ADAMANTIUM TEETH?! I know teeth aren't technically bones, but you would think that Wolverine would have a sweet-ass grill.

Also: phenotypical evidence is not conclusive, and do you have scientific proof they are your genetic parents?

Makes me feel bad too :( He probably saw the mailbag video pop up, got all excited and then got pretty deflated by the end of the video, especially reading the comments too. Those giant gummies aren't cheap!

You clearly haven't watched many of gb's older videos or checked the name on the many articles and reviews he's been doing over the last few years. He's been with GB as long as all the other guys just about and was part of the original Gamespot team as well.

Mailbag: Super Shaky Cam edition.

I also have the mental image of someone eating the giant gummy worm with a knife and fork in the break room.

As a German I would have loved to send you guys some beer and glühwein for christmas. But after looking it up, it's apparently ludicrously expensive and illegal. Bummer.
