That was a GOOD show. I am only mildly ashamed to admit this.

Hey, KillerQueen11: Be advised that gummy bear breast implants are actually still under study by the FDA. You can get them if you really want but the few plastic surgeons who offer them in the U.S. do so for the ongoing trials. If you do for it, remember not to bite into your gummy bear breast implants! They just don’t taste as good as the candy. (I know, I’ve tried!)

“Hans Reigel began whipping up hard candies in his kitchen, which his wife would then deliver from the basket of her bike. The new company was called Hariboâ€”a smash up of Hans Riegel of Bonn.”

In 2 sentences you manage to spell the protagonist’s name 2 seperate ways, the second one with an explanation negating the first one. Sloppy.

I live in Ramstein, Germany, and our new AAFES mall has a Haribo-only candy shop. You can go in and get the normal bags like you could in the store OR go through all the varieties they have in the giant apothecary jars, and fill up bags of random gumminess to your heart’s delight. You can also take a picture with the Haribo bear statue in the store. We just ran out of the Geldbaar, so I get to go tomorrow and restock! Hurray!

Reminds me of Winnie-the-Pooh, who would also make a delicious gummy bear, perhaps honey-filled? Mmmm…..

All I can think about is Ferris Buellers Day Off, when Ed Rooney gets on the bus at the end. They were warm from being in her pocket. =P

@Mare – thanks for pointing out my whole reason for reading this post…

mmmm gummy Venus de Miloâ€¦ :)

I *loved* the tv show when I was a kid, but in hindsight does it bother anyone else that there are only two female characters and one’s a child? Kind of disturbing if they need to repopulate…kind of like smurfs, I guess.

and dumps, too, I guess…

Love, love. love gummy bears and all things gummy.

On a separate note, how about a post about real, black licorice. Haribo has those black wheels- yuck! I remember studying on Copenhagen, all the kids loved them… and yet they couldn’t stand peanut butter, hun.

Also, I now completely have the theme song for the show in my head. Can’t remember a thing about the actual show but…

” Gummy Beeeaaarrrrssss, bouncing here and there and everywhere, high adventure that’s beyond compare, they are the Gummy Bears!”

My German college textbook Impulse had a whole chapter dedicated to Gummi Bears. This was certainly a lot more readable!
