So ok, turns out Chad hates Gummi Bears. This is not to say there's anything inherently wrong with Gummi Bears, they're a popular treat! So when it was announced that Haribo, makers of Gummi Bears for almost 100 years, opening a factory in America for the first time...Chad couldn't have been more pissed off. Just ignore him.

In the time of "alternative facts" it's more important than ever to know your Science. Chimeras and Hard Hydrogen are coming, America, read a book! Or just listen and stay up on it.
