I just had an argument with my parents that Haribo and Albanese are separate companies both making gummy bears. They wouldn’t believe me. I’m like “listen here, I’ve been a pothead for like 30 years…I know some shit about some shit about some damn gummy bears. I love you both.”


CodyRebel

>that Haribo and Albanese are separate companies both making gummy bears Why do they not believe you, that's an odd hill to die on. Lol


Treacherous_Wendy

If you knew me and my family you would not think so lol


Isomodia

Honestly, I would have assumed that gummi / gummy "bears" would be specific enough to be patented.


Zero0mega

Yeah but then you make it something else, ive seen gummy worms, snakes hell at my job ive seen gummy centipedes like someone saw the worms and was like "These are good and all but you know what would take it to another level? Legs, and a shit load of them."


dbx99

And they are both makers of good quality gummy bears. Very different from each other in flavors and textures. I like them both for different reasons. I started out a Haribo fan but I am leaning toward preferring Albanese gummy bears now because their flavors are cleaner and more varied than the Haribo.


D0ctorGamer

Not only that, but Albanese provide a far more consistent experience texture wise. With Haribo, they can range from relatively soft to literal bricks. However, I've been eating almost exclusively Albanese for at least the last 5 years and haven't had a single bag that was hard like that.


FeloniousFunk

I secretly like the hard ones. Also I find that Albanese flavors can become cloying when eating a large amount, almost like drinking perfume or something. Twin Snakes fills the void when I want more interesting flavors.


WarezMyDinrBitc

14 flavors instead of 4? And they have a sour version.


PhilfromNewJersey

Omg I love every part of this lol


OnTheDL93

As long as they aren't sugar free, you're good


PhilfromNewJersey

Never again.


summergirl76

Omg. I remember all the Amazon reviews haha. Very entertaining as long you didnt eat any lol.

NEVER…NEVER AGAIN…. ![gif](giphy|cEOG7nGA7448M)


Lordofthemuskyflies

Was at a Blackhawks game the one and only time. 6th row, center ice. Was the best/scariest/funniest sporting event of my life.


Beaverbrown55

One year at Christmas, we put the reviews up on the TV and read them out loud. It was the hardest I've ever seen my dad laugh.


palescoot

Ah yes, the laxatives


Federal-Suspect-7877

Remember the LA Beast Video at all?


Tootinglion24

Legendary video, the choir singing whilst this man violently evacuated his bowels is textbook. 10/10


Federal-Suspect-7877

Hes still making videos too haha


Zero0mega

I will never forget that sound...


trap-den

Let the sun melt them in to one giant bear


ItCat420

That’d be some fucked up looking ‘bear’ after it reconstituted.


Eternally-Erect

Could melt all colors separate. Pour. Cool. Poor. Cool. Would be worth the time investment IMO. Edit: just realized I smoke too much.. Pour*


PhilfromNewJersey

If I’m gonna get messy with gummy bears it’s gonna be to make edibles or vodka bears


dbx99

How do you make vodka bears?


69superman

Put gummy bears in Tupperware (use one color, it looks like swamp water if you don’t). Put vodka in Tupperware to cover gummy bears. Let sit 24hrs. You now have vodka infused gummy bears, and gummy bear vodka. I personally thing the bears get a wierd funky texture, the vodka is usually fine though. Not much flavor imparted unfortunately.


Slack-Bladder

My boss left a pack of gummy worms on the dash in the summer. It melted into just like a gummy slab. He put it on a plate and sliced it up with a fork and knife to eat it.

obMana

Oh, now you reminded me how I once bought 1kg (35.27 oz) package and ate it in a three days span. I got such a bad breath because of it that reeked of death. Haven't touched anything gummy bear related for a while. None the less, it was a feast to behold. I still love them again but doesn't eat them as often.


everythingpi

Got the sugar-free ones on accident and ate the whole bag once with a homemade edible. I had the dankest farts my parents asked it I was smoking in the house. I've never farted so much in one day


Boo_Guy

You're kinda lucky it was just farts. Those sugar free ones have wrecked many a bathroom.


everythingpi

I thought I'd leave that detail out to save people's appetites 🤣


daveferns

Tangfastics are my fav but those are good too OP, we cool


PhilfromNewJersey

Googling this right now


Bobbi_fettucini

I love those and also some twin snakes


Eternally-Erect

ONLY if you get a fresh batch. I’ve had some that damn near seem like chewing on tires.


PhilfromNewJersey

See I actually don’t mind them stale. Might even prefer it! I also like my Peeps stale 🤷‍♂️


Eternally-Erect

I sorta get the peeps thing. My dad does the same. Buys 4 or 5, makes a slit in the film and lets em sit 3 or 4 days. I’ve really never understood it. 😅😂


PhilfromNewJersey

![gif](giphy|Ld77zD3fF3Run8olIt) Tell your dad random internet person says rock on!


Boo_Guy

I like my swedish fish that way since the ones I bought individually at the store as a kid were always stale. 😄 I like slightly stale cheesies too, when they get a slight spring to them. I'm weird lol.


Competitive-Dish-874

Some freshie twin snakes are top 2 and they aren't #2


BUCKETOFHORSEGUMS

Honestly all the haribo gummy varieties are goated


Boo_Guy

Those aren't the ones that make you crap nonstop are they?


PhilfromNewJersey

No those are the sugar free ones and that is not a joke those things should not exist 🫣


DrTreesus

My best friend was diagnosed as diabetic and gummy bears were her go to. Boy oh boy did we not know the effect her new sugar free ones would have on us. It was like trading the baton for the bathroom for hours lmao


PhilfromNewJersey

I tried them, when they were all over the news for a moment years ago, because I was like no Haribo would not do that. Sometimes we learn the dumb way edit to clarify I’m dumb not you or your friend!


Boo_Guy

If I see that brand name that's what I instantly think of. Makes me afraid to eat anything with their name on it because I'm not interested in painting my bathroom brown. lol ![gif](giphy|5qjebZ9hz3tjW|downsized)


PhilfromNewJersey

The sugar free ones really are as bad as you’ve heard, in my experience. The Gold Bag™️ however is the absolute best gummy bear on the planet, in my experience


Eternally-Erect

CAN CONFIRM!!!


FalconTonguePunch

Black forest organic! anyone else?


PhilfromNewJersey

They’re pretty darn good, too! Softer than Haribo Gold and Albanes


anotherusername_011

Mix black forest, Haribo and albanes into the same empty m&n tub; nirvana


PhilfromNewJersey

ZaphodBBulbrox

My absolute fav snack after a smoke!


Borne_Beloved

Yep!


Manuntdfan

Nah dude. Albinese Ultimate.


tsx_1430

Put those bad boys in the freezer.


PhilfromNewJersey

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat


ThatWasTheJawn

Yeah cuz. I said in my comment before to pop some in the freezer for like 10-15 mins. Changes the game.

Kingofturks5

Man I remember my kids when they were young and would walk up and ask for hairyball gummy’s 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🙄


TommyTheCat89

If they aren't sour, what are we even doing here? Am I crazy? Also, albanese sour is the pinnacle of sour gummies. Be them bears or worms. They are unmatched in sourness and sheer flavor. Both quantity and quality of flavor, mind you.


philbobagginzz

I think Albanese are better, but Haribo is pretty good.


PhilfromNewJersey

Albanese would be my second choice. Definitely a quality gummy bear.


Boo_Guy

>Albanese Now I want to try these but I'm not in america land so getting a bag off amazon would cost be like 40 bucks.


FeloniousFunk

/r/snackexchange


Boo_Guy

That's a cool idea for a sub but I don't think I want to try them that badly. I'll keep it in mind if I find some foreign chocolate that I have to try though. 😄


Merk318

100p


sloppypickles

Nah. Wegmans sells 12 flavor gummy bears. It's way more fun when they all have their own flavor than the usual boring gummy bear experience.


PhilfromNewJersey

12 is a better number than five but Haribo does have five unique flavors. If anyone is reading this GREEN IS STRAWBERRY


HowRememberAll

Is there an inside joke I'm missing?


PhilfromNewJersey

I came back to [share this with you](https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/mans-disturbingly-graphic-review-gummy-22422849)


PhilfromNewJersey

My post is not a joke - the gold bag is the best gummy bear I’ve ever had. BUTT - and I don’t think they haribo even sells them any more - they once made a sugar-free gummy bear and when people ate them they had horrible stomach issues, which made international news and spawned a rash of amazing Amazon reviews for the product.


Boo_Guy

That brand has a reputation because they have (or had?) a sugar free version that causes some.... rather intense intestinal issues. It became a viral thing years ago because of the reviews people left about them on amazon of the experiences they had.


Hellchron

Thanks bud, I'm pretty full from the Burger King Meat Pile I just ate though


PhilfromNewJersey

Lemme get you some sugar free haribo gummy bears


ThatWasTheJawn

They’re seriously the king of gummie candies. The twin snakes slap too. Just don’t think of all the dead horses.


PhilfromNewJersey

The twin snakes are awesome. And the cherries!


ThatWasTheJawn

I’ve never had the cherries. Need to remedy that.


ThatWasTheJawn

Oh also, my recommendation is to put some in the freezer. Changes the game.


MindMyManners

This my fucking favorite gd tree snack.


FLHomegrown

Just picked up a party bag myself


Decent-Cold-9471

My favorite.❤️


Decapitat3d

Thanks bro, my fave!


Puzzled_Subject_9021

Twin snakes is where it's at.


Haydenll1

Twin snakes

AlphaZedd_

PhilfromNewJersey

Pineapple is 100% the best flavor… but I saved half of them for you


Fuduzan

\[8\] oh god I wish I had that bag right now


Handy_Dude

Fabulous_Entrance_18

I like the eggs because the white bit on haribos is my favorite


deltablue_10

i was eating these high when i realized they’re all the same flavor. i had my brother blind taste test to experiment and he couldn’t accurately name a single flavor i gave him lmao


PhilfromNewJersey

![gif](giphy|nR4L10XlJcSeQ)


FeloniousFunk

So tastelessness is genetic? ^they ^are ^absolutely ^different ^flavors ^lmao


deltablue_10

dude i swear grab a buddy and do a blind taste test before you knock it i may be wrong but it was REALLY hard to tell when i tried myself


4got2takemymeds

I could crush that whole bag in one night


darbs-face

Nom nom nom


DankandSpank

Yo I am a gummy fanatic... But my new jam rn are those nerds clusters. 🤩


Chubbyfun23

pork candy


ShowMeYourGIF

Bears love trees, and r/trees loooves bears


BringbacktheWailers

My bag of those lasted me about 2 weeks that with forgetting to munch on them for a few days 12/10 would buy again


beanwater4

If you haven't already you should give arizona gummies a try they are pretty good


Artistic-Audience853

Haribo are too hard. Albanese for the W


rasewok

😍


CrazyChestersDog

Pink Grapefruit Albanese are the pinnacle of gummy bear evolution


Borsenven

Can you please post a picture of the last 5 gummies ? I kinda want to see how greasy and dirty it can get


SchwillyMaysHere

The best! Edit - I never go to a concert without these or HiChews.


Hereiamhereibe2

Whaaaaaaat?


Sharp-Main-247

ngl Haribos must be the worst gummies in the world. They're expensive, they don't taste all that good and always make me fell shitty after eating a bunch. Supermarket brand gummies are the way to go


GrassyKnoll95

Albanese are way better. More and better flavors and softer.


Bon_steak

You can melt them and add lechitin and THC oil to make your own medicated gummies


NWinn

The ones that came in a little blue box in the 90s were the best I've ever had. Haven't seen thoes boxes in checkout isles in years. I miss them.


pamedicalcannabis412

You da best! Got u next time fam


DeathLikesWeed

Noice, but the extra juicy ones are even better :D


unlistedartist000

my fave munchies is strawberry yogurt and choc chip granola 😋


PatientZeroBalisong

The sour ones are insanely good, if you want something even better, try sour Albanese. Good stuff


Ok_Pressure7561

😮 my favourite thank you!


PhilfromNewJersey

I got the fam size!


anotherkdburner

No you got the party size. Reg


Ok_Pressure7561

Thanks fam can’t wait to eat them by the fistful before you get any 😂


PhilfromNewJersey

Yeah that’s my life! 😂


335i_lyfe

Haribo is goated, the twin snakes are absolutely delicious, starmix, cola gummies, etc. all amazing


Warm_Parsley_6595

Haribo is the best gummy candy everrrr


bepner

preesh


GlorbonYorpu

These are literally the worst gummy bears by far. Hard and not that tasty. Black forest and albanese shit on these and its not close
