Haribo are a bit chewy
I think there was a batch of particularly chewy Haribo. I think they may have bin experimenting with a non-pork/animal based gelatine substitute. I do know they have Halal versions of some of their sweets.
Recent baygs have bin a lot softer, for sure.

Posted 6 years agoHmmm
I have 50 or so mini packs left over from a kids party. Its either use them for riding, or give them away at work….
Posted 6 years agoI find Haribos a bit chewy and tend to sit on my stomach, +1 for the Jelly Babies however
Posted 6 years agoI prefer fizzy snakes myself.
Posted 6 years ago+1 Jelly babies FTW !
Posted 6 years agoharibo can be used in survival situations for emergency bike repairs and for treating exposure and most fatal injuries..
Posted 6 years agoHaribo? Dreadful stuff.
Posted 6 years agoJelly Babies are disgusting. Haribo are much nicer.
Posted 6 years agoI mix haribo with nuts, raisins and choc chips for a balance of necessary slow burn energy and sugar hit over the course of a ride. I find Haribo cheer me up which can be helpful when you’re suffering.

Gels I use as get me homes when I’m proper borked. Def work for me.
I’d avoid taking too many or relying on them for your primary source of energy, IMO, they can use up reserves you need towards the endMaoam Joystixx are where its at.
Posted 6 years agoYou lot are responsible for me popping to the co-op just now and buying a bag of Starmix…
Just so you know…
Bastards!
😉
Posted 6 years agoJelly babies dry my mouth up. Haribo just goes down better than anything else I’ve tried.
(except when they freeze anyway)

Are the extra chewy Haribo’s recently not just down to your pockets being probably 15-20 cooler than in summer? 😉
Posted 6 years agoHaribo are poison. Delicious poison.
Posted 6 years agoand they’re from Yorkshire! 😀
Posted 6 years agoI mix haribo starmix with dried mango and apricots sometime also apple. 🙂 I have it in addition to gels.
Not tried the same with jelly babies might try that.
Posted 6 years agoJelly babies are almost pure glucose – same as energy gels
Posted 6 years agoSounds ideal TJ will get some next time I head to the shops to stock up on trail treats as a change
Posted 6 years agoJelly babies are easier to eat but I get massive sugar spikes off them
Posted 6 years agoIm sorry but you’re all wrong, its got to be the original Lions hard wine gums or butterscotch tablets… mmmmmmm
Posted 6 years agoA rare find but…. Haribo Jellybabies for the win. Smaller and sharper/fruitier than the Bassetts versions, easier to chomp on when you’re thirsty and not as chewy as other haribo . Much better value too.
If you come across the special addition anniversary ‘Bassetts Jellyatrics’- pensioner shaped jelly babies – don’t bother with them, they’re rubbish
Posted 6 years agoWorst sweets ever made!
Posted 6 years agoFruit pastilles work surprisingly well too.

Still think it is funny/wrong that Percy Pigs actually have pig in them…
