A Brief History of Haribo Gummi Bears - Germany

Found this Brief History of Haribo Gummy Bears today.

Did you know Haribo is an amalgamation of Hans Riegel of Bonn?.. and that over 80 million gelatine bears are born every day?
You can now even get Gummi bear breast implants at, you might have guessed it, www.gummybearbreastimplants.com. That 'Haribo macht Kinder froh…und Erwachsene ebenso!' song has taken on a whole new meaning!



More from Wikipedia here.
... and the ich bin dein gummibär song.
... and the scene from Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

Thank you for posting this, pike. I've often wondered about the name, so thanks for solving the mystery for me!

The version I heard is that HARIBO was derived from Hans Riegel Bonbon.

He died in 2008 - leaves behind his wife Gerti, plus the male children whose names all start with Hans (and 10 grandkids).
