Gummy Bears

[AppleDumpling]

Have only had them a few times. Don’t like them; they stick to my teeth. I prefer jelly beans.

The "Suggested Sites" I see at the bottom of this thread start with "How To Make Gummy Bears" and end with "Chicago Bears Women's Jersey". Whad'da you got?

Oddly, I have a shoe ad.

They're wicked cute, though!

Just a sec...now I've got "Gummy Vitamins for Kids", "Best Universal Studios Rides" and "Top 7 Luxury Cruise Lines".

Pineapple, but prefer sour

Surely you jest.

Take it over to the "Weirdo" thread and add it to the list...

Hey! What’s wrong with my weird thread?

Miss this show. They should revive it. Or give them a feature-length film.

I didn't know either, or why they're green here, but red in Germany?

Agreed. The strawberry ones are my favorite, but it always throws me off a bit that it's green... If it's been a while since I've had Haribo, I have to remind myself that it is not, as one might expect, sour apple...

Nope don’t like them either.

I only eat the gummy bears from Colorado these days.

The ones I like are the pineapple. I'll hoard them and eat them later.

Also - I always look out for the ones made in Germany but produced for the US market. The colors/flavors are theoretically the same as those made in Turkey (or sometimes) Spain, but the flavor is better to me. They're a little bit harder too.

I looked it up, and they use different animal gelatin depending one where they're made.

https://www.haribo.com/enUS/contact/faq.html
Our Turkey production facility uses only beef-derived gelatin; however, our Germany production facility uses pork-derived gelatin.

To determine the gelatin source, please look on the bottom half of the backside of the HARIBO USA package. If the candies packaging says "Made in Turkey" or "Product of Turkey," it was made with beef gelatin. If the candies packaging says "Made in Germany," "Made in Austria," "Product of Germany" or "Product of Austria" it was made with pork gelatin.

I like the peach rings. Yummm. Apple rings too. Sour gummy worms. Also really good.

Color/flavor is irrelevant to me (I'll eat them all!) but I eat ONLY the Haribo brand. We used to sell them for German Club in high school and now any other brand is too soft... it's all about the consistency!

Depends. I find one made in Turkey are the most common, and they're super soft. I also found the notice about the type of gelatin used. Apparently they have some versions made in Germany and Austria that are kosher, although it may still have some meat source that's not pork gelatin.
