I love Haribo

One of my favorite kinds of candy is gummy bears. If I'm not craving chocolate I prefer gummies.

When I first looked for gummy bears when I got here I couldn't really find any. All I could find was this stuff called Haribo Star mix. It was a combination of regular gummy candy (although in very odd shapes) and other foamy/creamy white gummy candy. At first I was less than impressed, I just wanted my basic gummy bears. This candy is in the shape of coke bottles, rings, hearts and bears. Oh wait, I also forgot the fried egg! It's like they had this creamy white gummy candy and sat around thinking, "What shape can we make with this?" then someone came up with the brilliant idea of a fried egg- a blob of white with a yellow dot in the middle. So the mix of shapes is completely random which put me off initially... But now I admit, I can't get enough.

They also have all kinds of other mixes. My favorite is definitely the cherries which I discovered in Athens but haven't seen in London yet. If you check out the website you'll see they also make PEZ...I bet you didn't know that before today.
