Disney Winnie the Pooh Gummies Multivitamins
What's this?
I saw them at CVS the other day, and did a double-take.
Talk about piling on: Disney + Winnie the Pooh + Gummie Bears is an awesome agglomeration of brands.
Put them all together, throw in a few trace vitamins (a "serving" of 2 gummies, the recommended daily dose, doesn't even amount to 100% of a 2 to 4-year-old child's daily requirement), charge a cool $6.99 for jar of 60 (that's 12 cents per gummie), and you're hearing nothing but "ka-ching."
Note to those who still think Vitamin E supplements make you die early: the total Vitamin E in a jar of gummies - 60 x 7.5 I.U./gummie = 450 I.U., less than half the 1,000 I.U. recommended as a maximum dose by the Institute of Medicine.
Translation: even if your child (or you) eat the whole bottle, and trust me, you could, they taste really good, and they're really soft the way the best gummies are, nothing bad will happen.
But I guarantee you that if a little kid gets ahold of these, they're history.
Better keep 'em in that lock box Al Gore gave you.

To Whom It May Concern:
I recently purchased your Disney Multivitamins as it looks tempting for a child as it has Pooh on the front. I decided to purchase them as opposed to the normal Flintstones vitamins. Needless to say, I feel as though I wasted $6.00 as our daughter did not like the taste. I gave some to the older siblings....same reaction. I then gave them to my firend so I was not out the money and did not have to throw them away. Her children said they tasted horrid.She gave them back to me stating I should let you know I my as well as threw that money down the drain. I think it is a shame as I have bought off brands before that have tasted better than your product,the only thing that sells it is the fact Winnie the Pooh is on the front!!
