Also to do with gummy bears
When I was 16 I went to Munich for a month to do some work experience. In the centre of Munich there is a whole shop dedicated to gummi sweets, it is one of the best places on earth and I often bought the odd Kilo or two just to keep myself going.
One day, for a treat, the people I was working for decided to send me to Austria on the train to see some mountains and gardens and stuff. Now I have never been a massive fan of long train journies and as such by the time we had been on the train home for about 30 seconds I was a bit bored. So me and the four other people I was sharing a cariage with decided it would be a good idea to stick several gummi figures including your traditional "gummi bear" to the outside of the window to see how long they would last before falling off. Much to the credit of the German sweet makers the bear lasted all the way back to Munich.
I sometimes imagine that bear... still riding the rails 8 years later... those crazy gummis.

(I also tried to squash my baby sister behind a door when I was 5 years old to see whether she'd "go like Flat Stanley" I was foiled only by one of those annoying door stops)
