Haribo gummy candies are great but you need to squeeze them to make sure they are soft enough. If they have been there awhile they get really tough and hard to chew.

Gummy bears (German: Gummibär) are small, fruit gum candies, similar to a jelly baby in some English-speaking countries. The candy is roughly 2 cm (0.8 in) long and shaped in the form of a bear. The gummy bear is one of many gummies, popular gelatin-based candies sold in a variety of shapes and colors by various brands such as Haribo.

History�
The gummy bear originated in Germany, where it is popular under the name Gummibär https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:De-Gummibär.ogg File:De-Gummibär.ogg (gum or gummy bear), or in the diminutive form Gummibärchen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:De-Gummibärchen.ogg File:De-Gummibärchen.ogg ([little] gum or gummy bear). Gum arabic was the original base ingredient used to produce the gummy bears, hence the name gum or gummy. Hans Riegel Sr., a confectioner from Bonn, started the Haribo company in 1920. In 1922, inspired by the trained bears seen at street festivities and markets in Europe through to the 19th century, he invented the Dancing Bear (Tanzbär), a small, affordable, fruit-flavored gum candy treat for children and adults alike, which was much larger in form than its later successor, the Gold-Bear (Goldbär). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gummy_bear#cite_note-HCW-1 Even during Weimar Germany's hyperinflation period that wreaked havoc on the country, Haribo's fruit-gum Dancing Bear treats remained affordably priced for a mere one pfennig per pair at kiosks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gummy_bear#cite_note-HCW-1 The success of the Dancing Bear's successor would later become Haribo's world-famous Gold-Bears candy product in 1967. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gummy_bear#cite_note-HCW-1

Gummies, gummi candies, gummy candies, or jelly sweets are a broad category of gelatin-based chewable sweets. Popular types include gummy bears, Sour Patch Kids, Jelly Babies and gummy worms. Various brands such as Bassett's, Haribo, Albanese, Betty Crocker, Hersheys, Disney and Kellogg's manufacture various forms of gummy snacks, often targeted at young children.

History�
[edit]

This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (December 2010)

Gummies have a long history as a popular confectionery. The first gelatin based shaped candy was the Unclaimed Babies, sold by Fryers of Lancashire in 1864.[2]
In the 1920s, Hans Riegel Sr. of Germany started his own candy company and eventually popularized the fruit flavored gummy candy with gelatin as the main ingredient.[3] By the start of World War Two, the company started by Riegel employed over 400 people and produced multiple tons of candy each day.[4] The company was named Haribo, and it became a main producer of gummy bears.

Ingredients�
[edit]
Gummy candies are made mostly of corn syrup, sucrose, gelatin, starch and water. In addition, minor amounts of coloring and flavoring agents are used. Food acids such as citric acid and malic acid are also added in order to give a sharp flavor to gummies. It is often that other gelling agents are used in place of gelatin to make gummy candies suitable for vegans or vegetarians, such as starch and pectin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gummy_candy#cite_note-5

Website
Grafschaft is a municipality in the district of Ahrweiler, in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It is situated approximately 20 km south of Bonn.
Grafschaft is famous for its Rheinischer Zuckerrübensirup, a PGI-protected sugar-beet syrup.


The total population is 10,900 inhabitants (2020).

It has been used as a special stage for the Rallye Deutschland.

It contains the headquarters for Haribo; the company's head office moved there from Bonn in April 2018. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grafschaft,_Rhineland#cite_note-isleaving-3

Haribo GmbH & Co. KG, doing business as Haribo (English: /ˈhærɪboʊ/ HARR-ib-oh, German: [ˈhaːʁiboː]; stylized in all caps), is a German confectionery company founded by Hans Riegel Sr. It began in Kessenich, Bonn, Germany. The name "Haribo" is a syllabic abbreviation formed from Hans Riegel Bonn. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haribo#cite_note-1 The company created the first gummy candy in 1922 in the form of little gummy bears called Gummibärchen. The current headquarters are in Grafschaft, Germany. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haribo#cite_note-2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haribo#cite_note-3

Present�
[edit]
Haribo production is made up of around 7,000 employees in four plants in Germany and ten more in other European countries. As of June 2003, Haribo products were distributed in more than a hundred countries. In 2008, the Federal Cartel Office initiated proceedings against the company and other confectionery manufacturers for illegal price fixing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haribo#cite_note-27 In 2012, the Federal Cartel Office imposed a fine of a total of 2.4 million euros on Haribo and a responsible sales employee. The reason was anti-competitive agreements with competing companies in which negotiations with retailers were exchanged. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haribo#cite_note-28

Relocation of the company headquarters�
[edit]
Since 2005, there has been public speculation about the company's plans to relocate the Bonn location with its 1,300 employees because expansion are no longer possible there. The Rhineland-Palatinate town of Gelsdorf (community of Grafschaft) and its North Rhine-Westphalian neighboring town of Rheinbach were discussed as new locations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haribo#cite_note-29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haribo#cite_note-30 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haribo#cite_note-31

In April 2018, the company moved its head office from Bonn to Grafschaft. Some factory capacity remained in Bonn. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haribo#cite_note-isleaving-12
