    I'm glad someone else doesn't see the attraction. But then as is well know on here I don't like sweet things :wink:

    The pro's worry about it, so we worry about it. Haribo's important.

    No seriously, what's the calorific value as opposed to say a packet of Rowntrees Randoms.

    Apart from the paltry packet that is a token gesture of Haribo is free? (that requires you spending money, more fool you)

    Love n hugs

    At least Haribo used to sponsor cycling on Eurosport in the early 90s. At one point, in one of the March semi-classics, they didn't have an actual ad that could be shown, so every 20 minutes or so, Duffield would have to interrupt his commentary(which was probably about offal-flavoured biscuits or something) to intone "Kids and grown-ups love it so: the Happy World of Haribo". Surreal.

    I think there was also a "Classic Haribo" race on the calendar.

    Haribo: it's not a sweet or a food stuff - it's a way of life.

    It's like smack, but only socially acceptable. And tastes better. And more portable - you'd never get Zammo trying to hide a load of Haribo in his calculator battery compartment (euphemism police????).

    Apart from Turkish Delight. Lavazza and Gauloises, its the only thing I would would actually pay full retail for. And grappa, but its got to be good grappa.

    Anyone disses THE MIGHTY HARIBO and they risk, well, a fate worse than I could type on here and not get banned……….
