Haribo World Mix from France 500 grams

Good verity gummy’s

Reading others' reviews on this product is a great reminder of how everyone's tastes and preferences are so different. I read a lot of texture and "soap tasting" complaints and it's so funny because the half of the mix they're complaining about are my favorite ones! My husband and I both prefer the candies with a bite-through texture (flowers, gumdrops, jelly babies, red piccolo, raspberries & blackberry gumdrops, yellow bricks) rather than the tougher gummy texture (bears, alligators, airplanes, cola bottles). The first seem to be the ones people are complaining about, but that's a style, not a mistake or quality issue! They are a more European-style candy (ahem, world mix?) so the some of the fruit flavors are less familiar and may have an almost floral hint, but I wouldn't call them soapy. We both personally love those flavors. For us it's the more familiar gummy ones that (while still delicious) we're reaching for last. If you know that you only like classic American textures and flavors, you may agree with the lower ratings, but if you're more open-minded you'll find this mix completely delicious. Also, this arrived while we were away so I was worried about it sitting outside for 2 days in the hot summer sun, but there was no melting or degradation whatsoever. *added pic of my second order laid out (after I ate a few)! This is a much different mix-up than my first order and some gummies are totally absent this time (strawberries, planes, colas) but I couldn't be happier. All the best candies are there in abundance!

I admit to being a Haribo addict, since childhood in Germany. The ones NOT made in America are much better, a bit firmer, and don't contain corn syrup. This particular mix however, has candies I've never tried before, and unfortunately, don't care for. Several types have the Swedish fish consistency which sticks to my teeth. The old standbys were delicious as usual.

Fav Haribo mix!!

The packaging and shipment were fine, but everything in the bag tasted like perfume or floral. It was very odd, not a taste I think most Americans are use too.

Came as one giant melted brick threw it in the trash waste on 20 bucks.

I fell in love with this mix when I was living abroad in France. It's got all the best that European Harbio candies have to offer -- including the fact that they've got less sweetener and different types of gelatin. If you're looking for an American style gummy bear mix or CVS brand orange slices, this is not for you. But if you're looking for something a little tangy with a lot of fun textures - I would encourage you to try this! This is the only place I've been able to find this exact mix - so for me it's worth the $$.

I am normally a Haribo fan but this was a big disappointment. The candy was melted and squished together. I tried separating some so I could taste the ones that were new to me but they came apart with parts of other candy stuck to them. For the ones I did get to try, the taste was weird to me. I think it may be the difference between the European palate for sweets from the American preference. The candies had a strange perfume like smell which was a turn-off for me. The bag went into the garbage.
