This is the platonic ideal of chewing gummy candies, without all the fun and flavor that such activity would encourage. The chewing options are endless and the flavors are ambiguous, making it the perfect filling for an annoying child's Easter basket whose name you don't bother to remember. Eat your dinosaurs and so on, boy. A notable trend in Haribo's flavor portfolio is the inability to improve pre-existing products, which are totally good as they are.
In this case, the comparable (and best) product is Sour Punch straws, which are thicker, softer and are packaged in a much more manageable way. The Sour S'ghetti might work in a movie theater, but you'll probably do better with popcorn. The taste is good, but the mouthfeel and chewing of these little ones are bad. We've examined several lots bought only at the best 24-hour convenience stores in the area, and they all support our theory that if you spend too much time in Pitufland, you're more than likely to run out of milk.
Unlike their peach-flavored sisters, mini rainbow frogs have a slight hint of marshmallow on the white underside of their abdomen. It's a strange left turn not found anywhere else in Haribo's lineup, but we're doing it in small doses. Our blind taste test showed that there are big differences between German and American Haribo gummy bears, but is one better than the other? That depends on personal preference. Haribo says that bears have five flavors: lemon, orange, pineapple, raspberry and strawberry, and unlike some of the other gummy creations, I tried all those flavors.
Haribo gummies are a childhood favorite of many people, including myself, and they come in a wide range of shapes and flavors to satisfy everyone's gummy craving. While my ranking may not satisfy every Haribo gummy lover, I encourage you to try them yourself. For the sake of quality control, I decided to rank 10 of the most popular Haribo gummies out of the blue because they are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Although Kids have a mild chewing flavor and a sugary finish, their Gold-Bear sisters bring all the strengths of Haribo to the table: acidity and mouthfeel, making them much superior candies in every way.
And that's why I returned with 1.5 kilograms of German Haribo gummy bears, officially called Goldbären or golden bears. While Haribo's ambition is admirable, the candy manufacturer's attempt to recreate the magic of sour straws with the flavor of Sour S'Ghetti is a success. If you love Haribo gummies, but can't commit to just one product, try the Haribo Starmix, which includes Happy Cherries, Happy Cola, Friendship Rings, Twin Snakes and Gold Bears. Not as long as a sour straw, but a little thicker and a little sweeter, they are an excellent example of Haribo's unparalleled ability to make every flavor taste intense enough to recognize it without having to consult the bag for help.
