You’ll get great deals on the big bags of Gummi Goof Ups. Stock up! These products still have the same great taste - they just came out a little misshapen. Your mouth won’t even notice.

It will take you about 15 minutes to complete your tour, and at the end, you’ll get to sample a gummi and a chocolate.
