This candy is AWESOME... read my review I posted on the 5LB bag page. And while you are at it... buy the 5# bag ... they are way cheaper. This 12 pack ends up being only 3.75 LBS and costs $12.50 and the 5LB bag is only $13.00 as of this review.

First of all I would like to say that HANDS DOWN, Haribo makes the best Gummi Candies. It's true. If you've ever tried another brand, you'd know and once you try Haribo, you'd never go back!

These Haribo Gummi Candy Gold-Bears are just Bursting with Flavor! They are soft and chewy. (But not so soft that they are sticky and stick to your teeth)! I've loved these since I was young and now my son loves them too. They come in about six different flavors and each one is yummy! You also get a good mix of colors and flavors. They're a great snack and most people can eat them because they're not a "chocolate-type candy" where you'd have to worry about allergies.

They arrived at my home fresh and delicious. Everyone that's stopped by has had the temptation to eat some. But, I do recommend the five pound bag over the pack of twelve. You get approximately a pound and a half more in the five pound bag for about .50 more!

Speaking of the Five Pound Bag, the price is a true VALUE! These cost so much at the market or candy store at the mall per pound! And these are the same exact bears, but you don't have to worry if everyone has touched them or how long they've been out in the open before you came along to scoop them up in your bag! That's a big plus for me!

I definitely recommend these gummi bears, they are a sweet and delicious treat and the VALUE is phenomenal! I will definitely be ordering more and different kinds. We all have our favorites!

i enjoy my sweets, and the haribo gummi gold bears are no exception. while many gummy bears are much too sweet and taste incredibly artificial, haribo gummi gold bears are the perfect little dessert or snack at any point during the day, as they are light, and they taste more natural than other gummy bears.

as a real german person ( and sorry for my englis, but i try my best ) i have to say these gummy bears taste not like the gummy bears back here in Germany. i come to the US twice a year and the one year i was a bit "homesick", so i bought a bag of my fave german gummy bears. what can i say, the taste was like the original but actually not, even the colors aren`t right. my american friend loves the gummy bears from Germany, so i carry every 6months 30bags into the US. if you love the american version, fine, but if you ever have the chance to get a bag from Germany, try the "original", much better.

Haribo's Original Gold-Bears (Pack of 12) is a great way to buy sweets that aren't always easy to find in the US. I wasn't always a Haribo gummi fan, but I have my ex girlfriend to thank for getting me hooked. These come in sugar free versions as well, but I prefer the regular ones.

I really love this 12 pack more than the Haribo Gummi Candy Gold-Bears, 5-Pound Bags that are also sold on Amazon. The main reason is that the 5 lb bag is only ideal for a party with A LOT of kids eating them. I know that the 5 lb bag gives you more candy for your money. But these 5 OZ bags keep the gummis fresh and help with portion control.

I always share when I eat these or save the excess. For me a 5-oz bag is too much to eat alone. 1 5-Oz bag is good enough for 3 or 4 people to share.

Haribo gummis are very chewy compared to others, but they also contain less sugar and more fruity flavor. I personally think they are the best. They have 5 flavors inside including pineapple, lemon, orange raspberry and strawberry.

Definitely don't hesitate to get this. I haven't tried all of the weird flavors (cola, etc) but I have had many and they are almost all great. But these original bears are going to please most people.

Enjoy!

German Haribos don't contain artificial flavors and no artificial colors. German Haribos are all natural.
The Turkish ones however taste too sweet and less fruity, and look much more colorful because of artificial colors (FD & C yellow no. 5, red no. 40,blue no.1) and unnatural flavors.

When you send a mail to Haribo, they reply that the Turkish Haribos, sold in the US, contain that artificial stuff, so that the Gummy Bear flavor survives the long shipping by ship. Looking at long shelf life duration of even the German Haribos that seems like a lie to me. Cost cutting and less restrictive US-Food regulation seem to be the real reasons ...

Hungarian made Haribos (seen in India) aren't any better btw.

I have been hooked on these gummi bears for years! I used to work on an Army base and whenever one of our soldiers would go TDY to Germany, we would make him bring these back for us!! I'd tried different types after I left the base, but couldn't find the particular flavor. When I did happen upon it, I was so happy to discover Haribo brand again! Yay, go Gummi Bearen!!

I am somewhat of a gummi connoisseur of the gummi candy. I consider the gummi it's own food group. (If not, what group does it belong in?) Anyway, after searching and sampling bear after bear across the globe, the Haribo are the best ever. The flavor and more importantly the consistency of the gummi is perfect. They are not too soft, so some of the cheap store brands and they are not too hard or solid to where you can't chew them easily. I ate these overseas years ago and every time I traveled to Europe, I would bring home a stash. I found that Amazon now carries them, so I am in heaven. When I bring bags to work to share, they disappear faster than any other candy. Really a treat. People laugh when I tell them Haribo is the best gummi bear ever, but once they try them, they all agree with me.

Hans Riegel was not only one of the most prominent manufacturer's of sweets, he introduced a product to the world that's far more addictive than crack or heroine. These sweet little gummies are some of the tastiest bits of candy on the market. Unfortunately they're addictive as well...my son foams at the mouth, begging for gummies at all hours. At times this works to our advantage...bribery, a la the Scooby Snack. However, we know these are not the most nutritious snacks on the market.

Curse you Hans Riegel!

I am German but have lived in the United States for almost 13 years now. It truly pains me to see what Haribo has decided to sell here in the US under the "Gold-Bears" brand. Anyone who has ever tasted the real thing will know immediately how fake these are - by simply looking at them!
You can tell right away that their German tagline "No artificial flavors or colors" does NOT apply here.

Imported from Turkey? If you're going to ship all the way from over there, why not give the American consumer something worthwhile...?
