 In a bowl, combine gelatins.  Add boiling water; stir until gelatins 
 completely dissolve.  Chill until lukewarm, about 20 min.
 
 Meanwhile, gently pull straws to extend to full length; place in tall 
 container.  Blend cream and food coloring with the lukewarm gelatin mixture.  
 
 Pour into container, filling straws.  Chill until gelatin is firm, at least 8 
 hours, or cover and chill up to 2 days.
 
 Pull straws from container (if using a carton, tear carton away from 
 straws).  Pull straws apart; run hot tap water for about 2 seconds over 3 to 4 
 straws at a time.  Starting at the empty ends, push worms from straws with 
 rolling pin, or use your fingers; lay worms on waxed paper-lined baking 
 sheets.  Cover and chill until ready to use, at least 1 hour or up to 2 days.  
 Worms will hold at room temp. up to 2 hours.
