Haribo are plain wrong. Horrible taste, texture like plastic, more chemical tasting (probably – I haven’t tested this) than Jordan’s left boob.

If you like them you are just a whole bunch of wrongness.

They put opiates in them. That’s why I can’t stop eating them.

+1 Haribo are bloody horrible and usually eaten for breakfast by kids on sink estates

I’m more partial to a peanut M&M.

Eat them? I thought they were self-adhesive frame decorations.

Which Haribo are you talking about?

❓

I agree – it’s all about these…

tangfastics make my teeth hurt 🙁

They are ok for a lighter sweet, but not the best.

I don’t mind the jelly Haribo, but the ones with white stuff stuck to them are evil.

Not a patch on Midget Gems! Lions ones obviously…

Also, is it…

Har-eee-bo
or
Harry-bo

???

Harr-i-boh

M&S Percy Pigs are where it’s at!

Unless we are talking the Rhubarb Haribo which are lovely.

Behead those who criticise the Bear Of Gumminess!

( except for Strawbs – they are a bit crap )

GaryLake is quite right, those are good. The sour ones turn my mouth inside out, but then I like licking styptic pencils and 9volt batteries so could be judged to have an unreasonable opinion.

they are just the same.. clever how “The Natural” on the packet tricks people into thinking they’re not really eating sweets!

You’re all wrong.
This is the ultimate trail food:

What about wine gums?

Which Haribo are you talking about?

So… hungry… now…

Why eat that rubbish when you have the ultimate in trail snackiness in these:

EDIT: wish I hadn’t opened this thread, today is one of my 2 fast days. 🙁

Radioactive monkey testicles FTW

Do you buy them by the box rogerthecatdog?

What on earth are you all going on about?

This is what you need –

Now stop posting and get to work.

It says “confectionary” on the pack, of course they’re sweets!

Wouldn’t be surprised if they’re made by the same people either, basically just sugar, gelatin, colour and flavour anyway.

Oh god I’m hungry now, stop it with the pork pies and fig rolls!

@GrahamS – pfffff, I roll my own.

Sports Mix the new Haribo.

My company sells the beef haemoglobin powder which is used for the red ‘natural’ colouring!

What could be more natural than beef haemoglobin? From coos, innit!

Strawbs you say. These are very different to the strawbs I remember of the early 90’s. Then they definitely had a more papery taste and had a few side effects.
It’s nice to see they are much more palatable these days.
