Do You Know Where the Name 'Haribo' Comes from ?

Yeah I was thinking about this too lol cause I got some on Amazon and I’m just about to finish eating them, want to get some more!

I knew it would be for the founder’s name it usually is

The name sounds like what I think of them. It's just boiled up sheep skin with colouring and sugars added or used to be I think they make them differently nowadays. This is not the type of confectionary I would ever eat. I used to buy cycling stuff from Wiggle and you would get a small bag of Haribo in the box and it went straight in the bin.

No, I didn't know where the name Haribo came from so it was interesting to see how the name evolved.I would never eat Haribos as they are full of artificial colourings.These are no good for anyone and make children hyperactive.So off my shopping list.

Haribo starmix for me. I loved the old adverts with grown men actors and child voiceovers. One would act like a princess because he had found a ring shaped haribo LOL

I wasn’t aware of this but i do like to know the origins or words or names for things. Most of the time it is someone’s name but sometimes it’s something more unusual

The name Haribo is an acronym for the founder's name, Hans Riegel, and the city where the company was founded, Bonn, Germany: HAns RIegel BOnn. The company was registered in the Bonn trade register as Haribo in 1920.
