does haribo just make gummy bears or is that only what they sell to americans? we tend to get the crappy versions, don't even get toys in our kinder eggs anymore because they could be a choking hazard.

My personal favourite is the Salty Sea they make. And Piratos, too. Not sure if a regional thing though, salmiakki isnโ€™t all that popular in most of the world I guess. Their liqourice is okay, too, like in Color-rado.

Iโ€™m personally not a fan of their gummies though, or any โ€fruityโ€ sweets in general, so canโ€™t attest to how they compare to those I mentioned.

They make lots of different stuff, but its all similiar to gummi bears in one way or another. They have tiny marshmallows and maoam style sweets as well.

They definitely donโ€˜t sell chocolate though.

Happy Cola is my favorite Haribo candy.

Extra fun if you pull a dokaryan and soak them in rum for a week; you get little gummy rum & coke "jello shots"
