Haribo Goldbears are a classic confectionary treat savoured by candy lovers of all generations. Our gummy candy is made without the use of artificial colours so you can feel good about serving them to friends and family, and the juicy taste and bouncy texture are sure to be a crowd pleaser.

The man, identified as 38-year-old Anouar, told the German news outlet Bild that he contacted the company and they told him to destroy the check then send them a picture of proof. Once the check was disposed of, Haribo allegedly sent a package of just six bags of sweets as a reward.

1) HARIBO was founded by Hans Riegel in Bonn, Germany in 1920. 2) HARIBO is the acronym that comprises the founder's name and the city in which the company was born (Bonn, Germany): HAns RIegel BOnn. 3) HARIBO invented the gummi bear in 1922.

In their English speaking commercials, Haribo hilariously summon the child within us all by lending kid's voices to serious business people or ice hockey teams. All this while simultaneously adding spectacular promotions such as decorating whole planes with the Gold Bear or sponsoring motor rallys.

A small sweets company He founds HARIBO (HAns RIegel BOnn) on December 13th, 1920 and launches his sweets production at a home kitchen with nothing more than a sack of sugar, a marble slab, a stool, a stove, a copper pot and a rolling pin. His wife Gertrud becomes the company's first employee in 1921.

“The brand was one of the first in Germany to do advertisements on television,” says Bahlmann, “so that made [Haribo] and the product really popular.” In the decades following World War II, Haribo expanded throughout Europe, with Goldbears even making their way across the Berlin Wall to East Germany.

The DANCING BEAR sees the light of day Hans Riegel lays the first foundation stone for HARIBO's success when he invents the DANCING BEAR – a fruit gummy bear that would one day become world-famous as the legendary HARIBO Goldbear.

Haribo confirms that their gummy bears contain pork gelatin and the only Goldbears that don't are produced in Turkey, where beef is the go-to gelling agent.

Unfortunately for the Haribo candy company, they chose to replace the sugar in their gummy bears with Lycasin. They've since taken them off the market. Lycasin's main ingredient is maltitol. Maltitol is what's known as a sugar alcohol, and it's a very good replacement for table sugar (sucrose).
