26 things in 2026: candy quest: Haribo Happy-versary

[matsushima]

This might be "cheating" a bit because I think Haribo had these blueberry gummies last year, but… oh, well. This is supposed to be fun.

Not much to say about these but I like them. It's a bag filled with only blue (blueberry, sadly, not blue raspberry) Haribo gummies. They're not bears, but stars and party hats. I like anything blue flavored and gummy candy is my favorite kind of sweet.

Even tho Haribo is a German company, these are Japan limited edition. Haribo is really famous here, like brand name recognizable, in a way that it's not in the U.S. When my students see me eating them, they'll say "Haribo!" not "gummy bears!" or "candies!" which I think is interesting.
