I just discovered this candy at Walmart and only bought one bag to see how I liked it. I wish I'd bought more! I love almost any combination of fruit and chocolate and these sweet-but-tart little morsels are a superb example of how delicious that blend can be. Walmart's price is currently the best by a large margin, so off I go to stock up on my latest confectionary addiction!
If you love chocolate and fruits, this is the product for you. I have just finished my first bag, and I still can't get over the taste. The candies are bite-size, and (even though I hate using cliches) you simply can't get enough of them. The chocolate doesn't taste bitter, but it's not too sweet either, and the pomegranate enhances the flavor with a slightly sour touch. Overall, just like those commercials say, your mouth will thank you.
I've only heard raves about this candy so I bought some to try. I can't say that I like them at all. For one thing, they aren't just pomegranite. They are an odd concoction of multiple fruit juices. I taste more cranberry than pomegranite (if you like cranberry juice you will love these). I gave it two stars because the antioxidents should count for something. And a serving size is 20 pieces, so if you like them you can enjoy a nice sized treat. They are also quite plump. I just don't love the cranberry flavor.

Product Description
For years, visitors to Hawaii have been bringing a taste of Hawaii home with them in the form of 100% Kona coffee. Now you can have it shipped direct to you from Kona. The unique environment of the tiny Kona Coffee Belt, only about 2 miles by 15 miles, creates the ideal growing conditions for premium quality coffee beans. Coffee trees flourish on the Konas volcanic slopes under warm morning sunshine and afternoon cloud cover. Individually hand-picking the coffee cherries at the peak of ripenes, our coffee is processed and then sun-dried to bring out its characteristic flavor. The final step is micro-roasting at the farm in small batches, helping to ensure the freshness of each and every bag of Hawaii Roasters 100% Kona coffee.

5.0 out of 5 starsI Just Had To..., January 26, 2004
...I've never written a product review before, but this is such amazingly good coffee I just had to say so. From the first sip I knew this was coffee like I had never tasted before. And in Seattle - where coffee falls from the sky like so much rain - that's saying something. I had planned to serve this as the perfect cap for a recent dinner party with friends, but it didn't last in my house long enough to make the dinner. So I'm back for more.Now I'm wondering if the folks at Hawaii Roasters have any openings. I work cheap...you can pay me in these wonderful, rich coffee beans!
Pure Kona coffee, especially when it comes directly from the farm, is everything the coffee lover ever hoped for, absolutely as good as its description suggests it will be. The flavor is rich because farm-processed coffee never has the chance to get stale--the cherries are skinned and the beans are dried and roasted immediately after picking for maximum freshness and mellow flavor. They don't sit around over-fermenting while waiting to be processed (which then requires dark roasting to kill the "spoiled" taste).
Though pure 100% Kona is rare and difficult to find, this coffee is the real deal--a premier coffee which is among the costliest and most sought-after. If you are just browsing for coffee, take a close look at the label. For some strange reason, coffee can be legally called "Kona" if it contains just ten percent Kona beans (with 90% of the beans coming from unknown sources), and some new buyers are unaware of this. This brand of 100% Kona will justify its price and confirm everything you ever wanted in taste. n Mary Whipple
I received this as a Christmas gift in 2005. This coffee is smooth, aromatic and makes an outstanding cup of coffee. It comes in whole bean form and a full 1 pound of it to boot. The best bang for the buck. Excellent value! Take my word for it and you won't be disappointed.

Flavor: Techno Bears
About the Brand
Haribo, founded in 1920 in Bonn, Germany by Hans Riegel, is one of the most prominent manufacturers of sweets (namely fruit gums, licorice, and foam) in the world. The company name is an acronym for "Hans Riegel, Bonn" and stands as a reminder of Haribo's continuing loyalty to early traditions. After Hans Riegel died during World War II, his son, also named Hans Riegel, took over the factory and expanded its operations, taking over many local confectionery manufacturers in countries all over the world. Currently, Haribo operates five factories in Germany and 13 throughout the rest of Europe. The company also has sales offices in almost every country in Europe as well as in the Unites States. Haribo's German catch phrase is "Haribo macht kinder froh / und Erwachsene ebenso," which translates as "Kids and grown-ups love it so / the happy world of Haribo."

5.0 out of 5 starsThese truly are the best gummi bears in the world!, September 1, 2006
The first time I encountered Haribo Gummi Bears was when I went to Germany for a semester overseas. I won a bag of these as a classroom prize.
At first, I thought these were going to be ordinary gummy bears, but, boy was I wrong. These candies truly are a step above all other gummy bears. In Germany, this is THE brand of gummy bears. Competitors' bags are sold at much lower prices, but few people buy them - and that's because the difference in quality and taste is noticeable. The other people's reviews regarding sweetness and softness are accurate. Haribo has found the perfect combination.
During the rest of my stay in Germany, I became a huge consumer of Haribo candies. Haribo sells other gummy candies, but their "Gold Bears" are the best.
When I returned to beautiful America, I was disappointed to find that Haribo is not so easy to acquire. They are sold online at other stores at decent prices but after shipping, the cost was quite steep.
I am truly excited to see these bears offered on Amazon with free super-saver shipping.
If you have never had Haribo Gummi Bears, you really need to try some. A 5-pound bag seems like a large quantity, but I promise, you will not be disappointed.

Edit: Nov 2, 2008 - When I wrote this review two years ago, Haribo was still quite difficult to find at grocery stores. It seems today that I can find them just about anywhere. In this case, Amazon still provides a really great deal on 5 lb bags. If you don't want 5 lbs, you can shop at a local grocery store.
But I must recommend this: if you will not eat all of the gummy bears right away, transfer them to an air tight container. If you leave the gummy bears exposed to the air, they will get very stiff after a while.
So here's how it went down.
My teenage sons crowd around with innocent curiosity as I take the
mammoth 5-pound bag out of the cardboard box, the box with the
beguiling Amazon smile on the side. That knowing, wicked Cheshire grin.
Within seconds the bag is neatly cut open. An oddly hypnotic aroma
wafts out.
It begins.
We all sample one or two of the pleasantly rubbery candies, but
find ourselves exchanging the same puzzled expression: that
flavor---not really cola...vaguely medicinal, yet not offensive. Hmm.
Further testing is required.
We all sit down. Sampling continues now in earnest---they're so
small! Where's the harm?---and we agree that you need to eat quite a
few to identify the flavor with any accuracy. Not a name brand cola, to
be sure...one of those "store brands," after it's gone flat. We notice
that after the first 50 or so, the flavor seems to change somewhat,
perhaps because all our teeth are now caked with adherent masses of
gummy residue. Our mood is high, so testing continues.
General consensus is reached after the first pound or two that the
bottles in the middle of the mass are softer and more fragrant than the
stuff from the top of the bag. The bag is passed around, sniffing
ensues. Great effort is expended seeing how far a bottle can be
stretched, while held between the front teeth, until it breaks.
The unmistakable signs of hyperglycemia ---exhilaration, rapid
speech, a cola-like aroma on the breath---go somewhat unnoticed as we
burrow deeper into the jiggly wad of gummies. Dinner is postponed along
with homework. A telephone call from my ex-wife goes unanswered. The
scientific process cannot be interrupted. Would Fermi have taken time
out from inventing the x-ray deathgun to take a call from his ex-wife?
Please.
The fun almost stops when a bottle goes up a nostril ---kids!---
but everything is soon back on track when we discover that moistened
bottles can be stuck to the forehead for minutes at a time. Soon my
sons' faces bristle with the things. A joke is made about "edible
lesions". Hilarity ensues. Photos are taken. Outside it grows dark
while leaves blow about, unraked. The scratching of a pet at the door
stopped some time ago.
Bottles are eaten ten at a time now. Cola-stained spittle dribbles
down a chin. No time to wipe. Got to keep chewing. The are SO VERY
SMALL.
Suddenly the bag is empty.
Empty. The room goes quiet. The box is re-examined, but no stray
gummies are found. The box with the grin. That damn, mocking grin. I
have to explain to the children why I only ordered one 5-pound bag. We
all feel somewhat sick. We are all trembling now.
Parents, sometimes single dads cannot be trusted to make good
judgments about their kids' eating habits. Living with the stress of
alimony can pervert that part of the mind which regulates dietary
choices, or common sense.
I hope this will serve as a valuable object lesson for you all.
Haribo's Gold Bears are the best gummy bears I've ever had, and I've had a LOT of different gummy bears.
A lot of brands are way too sweet and way too soft - they're almost
like slightly firmer Jello, but Haribo's are just right. Not too sweet,
not mushy-soft. Just right. The perfect bears.
Haribo's flavors are yummy, mellow, and not so sickeningly sweet as
cheap-o brands. The crappy super-sweet bears are so sweet that my teeth
feel funny after I chew them (like they're instantly rotting from the
excess sugar), and they give me a stomachache.
Haribo Gold Bears! The perfect bears!
