Balla Balla

So far, I haven't found Balla Balla in Deutschland. While all of the spin-offs and variations exist, the plain old original is hard to come by. I found this bag here in Amsterdam and snatched it up right away.




Your basic Balla Balla is a chewy wrapping similar to a fruit roll up (but thicker) that covers a filling of softer candy. This interior has a consistency of warm modeling clay, and melts away as you eat it. Heavenly.



Compared to other Haribo, they aren't the prettiest candy. However, I can assure you that their flavor makes up the difference, and then some. Within the Balla Balla variety, we find five distinct and mouth-watering (no really, my host sister and I started salivating) flavors:

(Improvisation/assumptions)
Red - Sweet Apple
Yellow - Lemon
Green - Lime
Purple - Blackberry
Brown - COLA!



In my humble opinion, Balla Balla is truly a Haribo that the whole family can enjoy - the flavors span the taste limitations of different generations, and they don't require much chewing - even toothless Oma sitting in the corner in her rocking chair.

If you ever come across Balla Balla, make the right choice and eat it.
That is all.
