I love Haribo
Especially those yummy goldbears
Haribo is a German confectionery company founded by Hans Riegel Sr. It
began in Kessenich, Bonn, Germany. The name "Haribo" is a syllabic
abbreviation formed from Hans Riegel Bonn. The company created the first
gummy candy in 1922 in the form of little gummy bears.
Goldbears are fruit gums in the shape of stylised
bears, that are two centimetres in size and consist of sugar, sugar
syrup, colourants and flavourings. They also contain acidifiers, coating
agents, water and a gelatine mixture, which gives the bears their
rubbery consistency. Since 1960, Haribo calls its gummy bears Goldbears,
in order to distinguish them from other manufacturers' products.
