These truly are the best gummi bears in the world!
The first time I encountered Haribo Gummi Bears was when I went to Germany for a semester overseas. I won a bag of these as a classroom prize.
At first I thought these were going to be ordinary gummy bears but boy was I wrong. These candies truly are a step above all other gummy bears. In Germany this is THE brand of gummy bears. Competitors' bags are sold at much lower prices but few people buy them - and that's because the difference in quality and taste is noticeable. The other people's reviews regarding sweetness and softness are accurate. Haribo has found the perfect combination.
During the rest of my stay in Germany I became a huge consumer of Haribo candies. Haribo sells other gummy candies but their "Gold Bears" are the best.
When I returned to beautiful America I was disappointed to find that Haribo is not so easy to acquire. They are sold online at other stores at decent prices but after shipping the cost was quite steep.
I am truly excited to see these bears offered on Amazon with free super-saver shipping.
If you have never had Haribo Gummi Bears you really need to try some. A 5-pound bag seems like a large quantity but I promise you will not be disappointed.

Edit: Nov 2 2008 - When I wrote this review two years ago Haribo was still quite difficult to find at grocery stores. It seems today that I can find them just about anywhere. In this case Amazon still provides a really great deal on 5 lb bags. If you don't want 5 lbs you can shop at a local grocery store.
But I must recommend this: if you will not eat all of the gummy bears right away transfer them to an air tight container. If you leave the gummy bears exposed to the air they will get very stiff after a while.More detail ...
