Several varieties of Goldbears available in Germany since 2007ĭevoted to the UEFA Euro in 2008, Haribo produced Schwarz-Rot-Goldbären: a black, red and yellow Goldbear mix. Additionally, the shape of the Goldbears was slightly changed, compared to the former generations, by giving them a smiling face. The strawberry flavour, which was hitherto assigned to the colour green, was recoloured to light red. In August 2007, the product range was partly changed by adding apple as a new flavour and giving it the colour green. Although there are enough possibilities today to create a shade of blue, making the production of blue Goldbears theoretically conceivable, the Haribo management does not want to make any changes to the traditional product. įor the German market, they are coloured with natural fruit extracts, in contrast to the use of colourants in the past.

Haribo since expanded its operations, taking over many local confectionery manufacturers in countries all over the world. However, it was not only bigger than the present gummy bears, but also softer, due to the use of gum arabic instead of the now common gelatine. Two years after the company foundation, Hans Riegel invented the precursor of the Goldbear, who was still called Tanzbär (Dancing Bear) at that time. The house was Haribo's first production facility. In the same year, he bought a house that was located in the Bonn district Kessenich on a street called Bergstraße. According to the company, Riegel's seed capital was a sack of sugar, a copper pot, a marble slab, a stool, a stonewalled stove and a roller.
