Product Description

About the Brand

Haribo, founded in 1920 in Bonn, Germany by Hans Riegel, is one of the most prominent manufacturers of sweets (namely fruit gums, licorice, and foam) in the world. The company name is an acronym for "Hans Riegel, Bonn" and stands as a reminder of Haribo's continuing loyalty to early traditions. After Hans Riegel died during World War II, his son, also named Hans Riegel, took over the factory and expanded its operations, taking over many local confectionery manufacturers in countries all over the world. Currently, Haribo operates five factories in Germany and 13 throughout the rest of Europe. The company also has sales offices in almost every country in Europe as well as in the Unites States. Haribo's German catch phrase is "Haribo macht kinder froh / und Erwachsene ebenso," which translates as "Kids and grown-ups love it so / the happy world of Haribo."

Product Description

This product was purchased to help someone who is going though chemo. He needed something sweet but not overly sweet to help get him though those bad days after his treatments. I have found this product to meet that very special need. Everyone in our family enjoyed this candy and if you are looking for something to end that sweet craving without eating a bag of sugar I highly recommend this product.

If I had to pick just one candy to have for the rest of my life, it would be some fameous chocolate from Europe, but if I could choose two, Haribo Fruit Salad would come in second. This is amazing candy; I never tire of it. My wife and I consume about 30 pounds a year of this stuff, and it is definitely less costly than chocolate. The six flavors are all good, if not always identifiable. What is that green flavor, anyway? Watermelon? Maybe, but definitely not citrus. The flavors I'm sure of are Orange, Lemon, Grapefruit and Cherry. There is one that is maybe peach, or maybe passion fruit. Then, there is the enigmatic green. The soft gummi candy is coated with fine granular sugar, a nice touch. Haribo sells a version of the Grapefruit flavor in a single flavor package, and though slightly different from the Grapefruit found in this mix, it is wonderful, too.

This review is from: Haribo Gummi Candy, Fruit Salad, 5-Pound Bag (Grocery)

I grew up eating these in Germany, and until I bought it on Amazon, have only eaten it once in the past 14 years. I was so excited to find it online, as I remember it being so good, but I was a little disappointed that it was sweeter than I remember. Also, the inconsistent textures within the bag didn't bother me, but part of the bag had soft (fresh?) gummies and part had hard (old?) gummies. Lemon is better than the common candy-lemon flavor, but orange tases like orange soda, but grapefruit is really the best.
