Haribo is a German brand but has long-ruled the UK confectionery aisle in the supermarket.
The firm has delighted UK fans with another flavour when it introduced exotic-flavoured gummy sweets dubbed “Tropi-Slices”.
Haribo fans were left-gobsmacked last year after discovering the true meaning of the name.
The brand was founded by Hans Riegel, from Bonn in Germany, in 1920.
It’s name is an acronym of the first two letters of “Hans”, “Riegel” and “Bonn”.
Hans launched the company as a kitchen side hustle, with a stool, stove, copper pot, rolling pin and marble slab the company’s only assets.
Haribo’s first employee was his wife Gertrud, whom he hired in 1921.
The brand’s early fans included boffin Albert Einstein and First World War flop Kaiser Wilhelm II, who had gummy bears delivered to him in exile.
Haribo’s key brands in the UK are Starmix, Tangfastics, Supermix and Maoam.
