  • Yes - I've had Haribo with a couple of Superstar orders. Amazing how excited everyone (myself included) gets over a 10p pack of sweets!
    :D

    I've never had Haribo from anyone :cry: I did get some electrolyte tablets, though. Not as tasty as Gold Bears or Tangfastics, I have to say. Sounds like a good idea to bung these freebies in, though, it keeps people coming back.

    I think it's because you just don't expect them.

    I've got electrolytes from CRC but that was cus they were free trials I think.

    I got Haribo with my last order from Superstar, just remembered now, but they have disappeared. It seems as if thel33ter greedily ate them all while I was out.

    I got two free packs of Haribo when I bought these from Superstar!

    Cannot fault service like that at all!

    You are on a roll with those damn horse things.

    Which is why if you buy multiple items from Superstar it makes sense to do it in multiple orders!
    I like that thinking 8)
  • Haha that horses thing made me laugh!! I was expecting some epic superstar component xD

    I don't know who first came up with the idea of giving away free Haribos with orders but whoever they were, I'd like to offer them a Haribo.

    Why are MTB economics; spend twice as much as you intended, but only half as much as you wish you could afford? :roll:
  • Yeah, I've decided I'm going to get the seatclamps from them now :) so i can get more haribo. and because they are awesome looking!

    I got a bag of haribo with my superstar grips. I need to order several bits for my new bike, think I will make seperate orders for each component to get more sweets, maybe if I order the chain device as individual componants rather than a complete one I could get a few more packs.
  • I bought some Haribo the other day that had some bicycle components in so it seems that some kind of festive reciprocal deal has been arranged. Neat huh ?

    It was me!!! No way to actually prove it but since no one else has claimed it first I will!

    And I'll quite happily accept your offer...... ;-)

    I don't know if it's true but someone told me haribos are laced with a drug that impels you to order more stuff.

    Sometimes they send tangfastics, which are laced with a drug that impels you to order more fillings.
