Gave the worlds largest gummy bear to a haribo fiend when she left us; she's ginger and was everso happy we'd gone for the orange one.

2.3 kilos of puke-inducing nom!

For those who fancy their jelly sweets to have more of a disturbing double intruder look there's always the the world's largest jelly worm...

I'll say it then - that's not a jelly worm.

A large concrete Gnome (very much associated with the company name). I was delighted!

Like sh!t.

Thats the down side with those giant gummys. They're a weird re-make of the sweet - they're not made in the same way as a gummy bear, they're made from gummy bears - its another company buying gummy bears in bulk, melting them down and re-setting them. Unfortunately doing that changes the texture and flavour - they're almost leather hard - a bit like trying to eat a skateboard wheel - and its difficult to describe the change to the taste but something about it makes your tastebuds sore.

I speak as someone who had research this to make a foot tall jellybaby for a TV show (and who now uses the mould to make huge novelty yorkshire puddings at 🙂 )

I haven't really had many proper jobs. (i bet that doesn't surprise anyone) The most unusual leaving gift I have from a real job though is a set of beer mats in a picture frame. Several months before I left I'd been out on a quite spectacularly boozy night out with my workmates. A fews days later our administrator was looking for something in her bag and pulled out a big bundle of beermats. On them - inexplicably - she'd minuted the whole evenings conversations in biro - writing round the border of each one - non of us, including her had any recollection of that. So now I have them framed in the downstairs loo.

I made a cake for a colleague which was in the shape of a turd, and had been spray painted in silver edible spray, and coated in edible glitter, and then with a sugarpaste bow on top!

I work in the world of project management, and the saying in that place was that we spent a lot of time polishing turds, and if you can't polish it, roll it in glitter!

I left one job in which a colleague was a complete pain, playing the system a day to make matters worse her bf worked in the same team. I may have been a little honest about how useless I thought she was on my way out of the building just before she was due a 2nd management review (on the way to leaving but very hard to sack) she apparently announced she quit.

My leaving present dinner and much more beer than I could handle from 2 very appreciative bosses.

A mug and a large catering pack of teabags with a note saying "that should do you a couple of weeks" at one old job. Apparently, until I arrived, they'd never done tea breaks or 'rounds' as such. I thinking converted the whole lab team into raving tea addicts.

People always try to give cycling related presentsn and they are always crap cause they think halfords is a bike shop.

I gave the boss a present once when I was leaving. He was always complaining about the photo copier so I made a fake one and invited him to use it. Under the lid was a supply of doughnuts and when he switched it on it exploded a load of party poppers. Made him jump. Not far enough to hurt himself unfortunately.

I got a £2 pen from one job. Hadn't been there long, hated everyone, I think they were glad to see me go so they could return to their mundane existences. I didn't fit....kept asking 'why' and 'if this is a better way to do it, why don't we do that....?'
