A friend recently got me hooked on these gummy frogs. I was curious about the flavor so I e-mailed Haribo directly! They did reply... The green gummy is apple, and the white marshmallow is passion fruit. The price here is great too!

You know, I had wondered when clicking through to this product from Haribo's website -- just how big is a 5 pound bag of Gummibaerchen? Well, it's about as big as an adult human head. Big! And heavy! (And buying two gets you free shipping!) The only better bulk price one can get (that I'm aware of) is at the Haribo factory in Bonn, Germany (and if you like Gummibaerchen, I suggest you visit).

As for the candies themselves, Frogs are not my favorite. An entire bag of them yields no variety at all. If Amazon starts selling the classic bears (which are a multitude of flavors and are smaller and easier to chew up) I would buy those over Frogs in a hot second. (The sugar-free kind are not the classic version, and some people have digestive problems with the artificial sweetener. NB this is not the case with Frogs - they are sugar-sweetened.)

A note about the Haribo "catchphrase": the German "Haribo macht Kinder froh und Erwachsene ebenso" is better translated "Haribo makes kids happy / and adults likewise". So, "The happy world of Haribo" is just a rhyming addition to English-language packaging. INFORMED.

These make a great snack to be left in the glove compartment of my vehicle. Available when I need them. They don't seem to melt together when they get warm. The white belly texture is almost like a toughened up version of marshmallowish texture. Interesting on the tongue. The flavour of the frog is interesting as well. Some say a pineapplish sort of green tea pear flavor. Same flavor as green frogs I've found in department store/food places, so I'm guessing its the universal frog flavor or the same brand more likely.

One of my medical assistants always talks kids into giving a urine sample by telling them that we have to check to see if there are any green hoppy frogs in their urine. Well, as you can imagine, many a reluctant preschooler is willing to pee in a cup with that in mind. How wonderful to show them that there are green hoppy frogs! We just put a couple in a (clean) Dixie cup and return it to the children. I wish I could download the expressions on their faces when they see these little creatures! Oh, by the way, 5 lb bag lasted over 6 months in my solo rural pediatric office- that is a lot of urine samples! Many siblings insists on giving a sample also just for a taste of these gummies!

The top of the frogs have a slight lime taste and are like big gummi bears. The white bottom is a foamy sugar similar to marshmallow. The combination has a nice feel to it when you're eating them. They're also great for sticking to your friend's forehead, just lick the frog's white belly.

Ok, so i'm 14, but that doesn't mean I can't have candy! Gummy Frogs are my favorite type of candy and as far as i'm concerned no company can make them better than this one can! By the way, if you happen to go to Disney World they have them in Germany in EPCOT!! :) THE BEST CANDY EVER!

Admittedly, I get a little more excited about confections that your average 31 YO, but I love these things and the sense of wealth and power you feel holding a 5 pound bag is amazing. You can snack on them while simultaneously bludgening anyone that tries to take any from you. Of course, with so many, you feel inclined to give them away left and right, so I'm back to buy another bag.

I'm addicted to these Frogs and I'm so glad they are availagle in a 5 pound bag from Amazon.

The Mini Frogs are good too.

These little frogs were the hit of the baby shower. The theme was frogs and these candies were perfect! They arrived quickly and 1 bag was enough for 8 candy dishes and 70 guests.

I buy these for my husband every year for Valentine's day... you would think that they could last for a long time, but usually by the end of March he's finished the entire bag!!! I'm not big on gummies, but I have to admit they are delicious! :)
