Haribo Sweets
Haribo Sweets: A Century-Old Love Affair in Every Chew
In the hands of any self-respecting British sweet shop owner worth his liquorice laces, Haribo sweets are nothing short of a national treasure. Not at the very start, mind you—one must ease into such things—but firmly embedded in the first breath of childhood glee and adult nostalgia alike. At Duncans Gifts, we’ve turned sweet-selling into an artform, and Haribo into our pièce de résistance.
The Legacy: From Bonn to Britain
Born in Bonn, 1920, the House of Haribo—named with Teutonic precision after Hans Riegel of Bonn—has blossomed from gummy beginnings into the crowned monarch of jelly-based joy. The original Goldbears, introduced in 1922, weren’t just sweets; they were declarations of delight, fruity symbols of a world that needed cheering up. A century later, the Haribo empire reigns supreme in sweet shops, corner stores, and handbag linings across the globe.
A Grand Parade of Haribo’s Greatest Hits
Let’s talk about the cavalcade of confections that make Haribo not merely good, but gloriously, irresistibly essential:
- Starmix – A greatest-hits album in sweet form: fried eggs, cola bottles, gummy bears, hearts and rings, all jostling for your affection.
- Tangfastics – The puckering punch of sour cherries and fizzy dummies that make your taste buds do a pirouette.
