Haribo Gummy Bears are bad

r/

They are always too hard and chewy. Hardly any flavor, just sweet.

I think Trolli is a better brand, but they aren’t so great either. Maybe it’s because I don’t eat candy often. They all just taste like different forms of sugar to me. Peach Rings are my favorite.

    Haribo are my favorite gummy bears! Oh, and their peach slices or whatever?? Absolutely amazing. Have my upvote, OP!

    There’s a huge difference in the Haribo brand depending on where they’re made. The US factory just isn’t the same—-corn syrup. The ones made in Turkey are really good.

    I worked at a candy store and they sold albanese. Great juicy flavor

    It’s probably because they are cheap candy that the people who like them as adults could get their parents to buy at gas stations for them. Kids have 0 standards and they Pavlov Dogged themselves into being their #1 choice. Or maybe it’s the same principle as my craving for McDonalds not being the same as wanting a burger, even if I know I can get a far better burger at most places for the same price.

    Why do they cover them in oil before making them so disgusting

    I guess I’m unpopular too because I hate them and so do my kids

    No way. Haribo and the Albanse are amazing. Also coke Haribo are the best. And I’m pretty sure myself and only one other person in the world that I know love the coke gummies. I have to get them off Amazon they’re never in the stores.

    Their sour gummy bears are my favorite gummies.

    I actually prefer a firm gummy. Pretty much why I ditched sour patch kids, too soft.

    I go for Black Forest myself.

    Albanese FTW.

    But Haribo actually made in Germany is awesome.

    Didn’t know anyone liked gummy bears

    Haribo gummies are the absolute worse. So hard and not flavorful. (Execute me if you guys must)

  19. AngryAlien21 Avatar

    Albanese gummy bears are the best

    I live in Japan, where there’s 100’s of gummi style candies available, and haribo are still really popular here. I just ate a super Mario haribo bag, and I loved the intense flavour and balance of sweetness and sour. Have my upvote!

    All Haribo candies just taste like wax.

    Haribo is the gummi bears of the 80s Albanese are the gummis of now

  23. distracted_x Avatar

    Black forest and Albanese are my favorites. Black forest fruit snacks are also really good.

  24. ProtectionContent977 Avatar

    Hmm. First time I tried them I assumed they were stale.
    Hard. Not pleasant in my mouth feeling. I paid for them so I ate them.

    Not even sweet.

  26. HoeForSpaghettios Avatar

    Haribo sucks. Albanese are the best gummy bears and it’s not even close!

  27. BrazilianButtCheeks Avatar

    First of all Albanese gummy bears are the superior candy..

    Sour patch kids is where it’s at. I like the watermelon flavor.

    Gummy bears suck and have always sucked

    I like the starmix but not the bears

    Albanese all the way. So damn good

    Wiley Wallaby rocks. They have the best licorice in several flavors — the traditional red and black, plus their Lemon is out of this world. Apple, Berry Blast are great too. The size of the pieces make them more like gummy bears than Twizzlers. Plus, made by a family owned business in rural MN. Would you believe that the only place I can find the less common flavors is an Ace Hardware that has the best candy selection at the cash register, including gourmet caramels. I’ve been in that place more than once just to buy candy.

    They’re not dashing and daring, courageous and caring. Faithful and friendly with stories to share. All through the forest they sing out in chorus. Marching along as their song fills the air — Gummi Bears! Bouncing here and there and everywhere! High adventure that’s beyond compare! They are the Gummi bears!

    Sorry, but if you’re not a candy head you’re opinion isn’t valid.

    I am an accomplished, if retired, candy eater. It all tastes like a sugar bomb to me now, but my opinion is skewed precisely because I don’t eat candy anymore. I taste the stuff maybe 3 or 4 times a year, after a kid’s birthday party or something similar.

    Read the sugar free ones Amazon reviews. You’re welcome 😆

    I LOVE the firm chewy style, more satisfying to chew and they last longer

  40. FlameStaag Avatar

    Hard and chewy is a sign of age not a quality issue

    I think they’re fine. They’re usually the cheapest option so I’m not exactly expecting top tier quality.

    but the Amazon reviews are funny
