Hey, kids. We have another quick commercial break. This one is brought to you by Haribo Goldbears. Truly the gold standard for gummy bears. Ugh.

Is that a half eaten bag? That's going to look awful for a commercial. Who opened that bag?

An intern is telling me I sleep eat sour candy. That is just terrifying news to hear. Can we get Dr. James Haribo on the phone for an emergency therapy session?

Haribo is a German company that started making candy in 1920 and gummy bears rolled out in 1922. That sweet spot between World Wars. Hans Gruber. I'm sorry, Hans Riegel started the company and created what became the Goldbear we all know and love. 

While they make tons of candy nowadays, the gummy bear is their flagship. I clearly prefer the sour ones. Haribo gummy bears are sold in five flavors: raspberry (red), orange (orange), strawberry (green); pineapple (clear), and lemon (yellow). Tough loss losing red to raspberry there, strawberry. Not that that raspberry had a bunch of alternative color options. Clear for pineapple is an interesting choice as well. 

While they are delicious, I don't know if they taste any different. Just that, and I can't stress this enough, sour is the way to go. Thanks, Haribo!
