Alles gute!

Before I catch this blog up and fill you in on important issues, I must post my first Haribo review. One goal I have set for myself is to try every variety before I return to America, so here goes!

Peaches. Mother Nature's second best gift after unicorns. I miss Fredericksburg peaches, and the ones here are rather bland. Luckily, Haribo has my back - Haribo Peaches are a Godsend when the ole' sweet tooth is acting up, and they are fairly easy to find, even in medium-sized groceries.


Many Haribo varieties have a sour undertone or aftertaste, but Peaches are gentle without being boring. The flavoring is, in my opinion, as natural-tasting as it gets without actually eating a real peach - bright, but not overwhelming or perfumey.


Perhaps my favorite aspect of the Peaches experience is the texure of the candy itself. The exterior is sugar coated, and is somewhat of a rind, not unlike Brie cheese. Once one bites through the rind, one finds a soft jelly interior. The unexperienced Haribo eater might think that all Gummis are alike, but the fact of the matter is that they come in many consistencies. One might go so far as to separate Haribo into Jellies and Gummies, among many other sweet categories such as Marshmallow, Licorice, and Chews. Anyway, back to the jelly: slick and delicious, but not in a way that sticks to your chompers.

Haribo Peaches are an all-around sweet deal at ,90 euro per bag. I wish I could get paid in these.
