I can't survive without the odd gummy sugar rush to make the world feel better!
Does this mean I'll have to rely on packs of Jelly Babies (which have a habit of turning into one giant blob in any warmth) for my emergency ride stash?
I thought Pontefract was the home of haribo?!? That's what the sign says anyway!
Literally a 6m Haribo isle in our local shop (for local people).. we have loads of Haribo here....
Much nicer jelly sweets than the - overly tough - German Haribo out there imo.
Could be down to Brexit, Covid, aliens or Augustus Gloop (watched a documentary one time and it showed that the boy can really eat!)
No shortage up here eight, but the we do have Cloetta taking up any goddis-related slack
Saw the thread title and thought the Phantom Bin Shitter had struck again...
Overly tough is a good description. I appreciate they hold together better in the heat, but never really got the love for them.
Aldi jelly snakes.
Lidlhave a good selection of there honestly named own brand "sugar land".
Maynards Sport Mix FTW

Well if I have to resort to eating the sugar-free versions...
I have a 1.2kg bag of Haribo here. I'm going to wait until the shelves have been stripped bare then eBay it for a million pounds.
Aldi jelly snakes.
Adds to shopping list....
my riding sweet of choice the 'Lidl jelly babies' have been empty shelved my last 3 trips to the local lidl.. the wife isnt happy either..
I think I'm personally responsible for buying all the jelly babies in my local store.
Those excitedly suggesting Lidl and Aldi alternatives… they’re being hit even harder by the shortage of drivers. They’ll face real empty shelf shortages before Haribo do. Take back control.
sweets are for children, do you eat fish fingers and alphabet spaghetti too?
Waitrose own brand sweets are much much nicer.
And yes I eat fish fingers on occasion. Why not?
I love Haribo's.

A 48 year old child.
I hope I can still enjoy the child like joy of Haribos and fish finger sandwiches when I'm 48.
[ I'm 47 ]
[ Just to clarify ... I'm not suggesting putting Haribos in sandwiches. ]

Yup, and happy faces chopped pork if I can get it.
@keva that's the same sort of argument regularly used in anti-cycling rants. 'Bikes are for kids, blah-blah.' Age is no barrier to enjoyment.
Bought a packet of haribo pontefract cakes. They're a little disappointing, not quite the nasty plastic cheap liquorice but no flavour. I'll stick to their tangfastics like the child I am.
Haribo, supporting dentists and insulin manufactureres wherever they sell.
Fish fingers are ace. You can keep yer Haribo though.
I like the haribo jelly babies, or I did, til they introduced those rubbery nightmarish conjoined jelly baby things, so I'd already swapped out to tesco cheapo jelly babies. But I will pray for my tangfastic-addicted friends.

Have you not seeing the Haribo adverts, they're incredibly accurate!!
Yes, fish fingers and waffles/smiles are a rare treat 🍴😎👍
Tangfastics! I ate a whole bag in one go a few weeks ago. only cos the heat in the car had turned them into one MASSIVE Tangfastic.
It's not Pontefract, It's Ponte Carlo, which is next to Cas Vegas, aka Castleford.
I mean, if Wiggle stop putting the Haribo into the parcels they send out then the're going to be trouble....
Haribo are rubbish. They stink!
Colin the Caterpillars FTW.
do you eat fish fingers*
Definitely, even more so after seeing how they're made (fish frozen as soon as they're skinned/de-boned) fishfinger sandwiches are a brilliant quick tea, though Nigella Bhorta is excellent if you have bit more time, but you can keep your haribo
*it's like suggesting bean on toast should be banned for any over 13 years old, I pity you.
sweets are for children, do you eat fish fingers and alphabet spaghetti too?
Only when we cannot get hold of fresh oysters and quinoa respectively.

Haribo’s is the ultimate ride emergency fuel/de-bonker !!
Cheap and plentifully available (in the eu.)
Tbh they’ve missed a trick by not doing a ‘collaboration’ wiv Rapha on that mtb gear.
Could have had a top with styled by Rapha Powered by Haribo logos 🙂
This is an interesting case study in how corporations can capture the news cycle with a press release even if the premise is complete nonsense. This is part of how corporate interests shape narratives and manufacture consent.
