<p>Japan continues to be the world provider of magnificent oddities such as <a href="http://betabeat.com/2012/11/your-farts-are-no-match-for-new-odor-eliminating-underwear/">odor-eliminating underwear</a> and <a href="http://betabeat.com/2013/02/techs-hottest-new-accessory-is-a-face-for-your-face/">a face for your face</a>. Candy lovers, narcissists and candy loving narcissists will delight in the newest Japanese invention: a life size gummy bear of <em>you</em>.</p>
<p><!--more-->Shortlist <a href="http://www.shortlist.com/cool-stuff/create-a-gummy-bear-version-of-yourself">reports</a> that a Japanese bistro called <a href="http://www.fabcafe.com/blog/category/english/">FabCafe</a> will do a 3D scan of a customer's body, then use a mould to create a gummy bear that looks just like them. It all costs 6,000 yen, or about $65, which isn't too bad considering the horrifying <a href="http://betabeat.com/2013/02/techs-hottest-new-accessory-is-a-face-for-your-face/">face for your face</a> will set you back $3k.</p>
<p>The promotion comes just in time for Japan's White Day, which is like a Valentine's Day do-over. Because nothing says "I love you" like a creepy gummy replica of your significant other.</p>
