There's a story from WW2 where a ship only had lemon jello and the crew were freaking out and wanted a different flavor so the cooks just added some food coloring and everyone thought it was cherry.
In 1979 my high school German teacher used them as a base for a days lesson. I don't remember the lesson, but I do remember that we all loved the Gummy Bears!
I recall that my stepfather, from New York introduced my small backwards town to gummy worms. Everybody thought I was trying to trick them into eating rubber fishing lure. I even had to eat one for them before they'd try them.
When I was three or four years old, a friend of mine introduced me to gummi bears. This was either 1979, or 1980. My friend was half German, and probably got them straight from Germany, since you said they didn't come to the United States until 1981. That never occured to me.
It depends where you have your gummibears from The German Haribo Gummibears have since 2007 6 flavours/colours (before there were just 5 flavours and the green gummibear was strawberry flavoured. That is how it is still with the us haribo gummibears) Dark Red: Raspberry Light Red: Strawberry Green: Apple White/colourless: Pineapple Orange: Orange Yellow: Lemon
I'll have to check em out. I hate the crunch of sugar coating. Feels like sand. Toxic waste sour candy are pretty good, but not really something you wanna snack on.
I see most of you came away with the Gummy Bears intro song in your heads. I, on the other hand, never got past Tim Minchin in my head singing, "Bears don't dig on dancin'!"
I spent the first seven minutes of the video humming the theme from the Adventures of the Gummi Bears to have it validated by your mentioning of the show in the video.
Um, actually ... Since 2007, there are six flavors in a bag of Goldbären (at least in Germany) with apple flavor taking over green and strawberry now being a light red.
Um actually... Way fulfill every stereotype of the annoying person correcting someone lmao. You can say the same thing without "um actually." It'll look less "know-it-all"
@@SECONDQUEST I could have, but there are two rules; all of the corrections must be preceded by the phrase “Um, Actually...” and you can interrupt the statement at any time. If you don’t precede the correction with “Um, Actually...”, you lose the point and someone else can buzz in to steal the point. ;-)
Using gummy bears for teaching German is not just about culture, but language since the German name, Gummibärchen, contains two aspects of German foreign to English: the ä and the diminuitive suffix "-chen"
America had a gummy candy long before Gummy Bears came from Germany. They are called Jujubes, and have a hard, chewy consistency. We also had Dots (soft) and Crows (licorice).
someone has to do it... I would apologise for anyone that gets it stuck in their head.... but I am not sorry... enjoy the awesome song :D 🎵 Their legend is growing they take pride in knowing they'll fight for whats right in whatever they do 🎵 🎵GUMMY BEARS BOUNCING HERE AND THERE AND EVERYWHERE🎵 🎵HIGH ADVENTURE THAT'S BEYOND COMPARE🎵
My buddy sent some haribo gummy bears from Germany the other week and they’re legitimately better than what we have in the states, I have to put in an order to get some more lol
People may not realize that "HARIBO" was assumed to be a Japanese company for MANY YEARS! It sounded japanese to foreign ears, and the candy was sweet and cute. The package said, "made in germany"but our 7 year old selves just associated it with anything that was cute and asian and smelled of plastic and fruit!
I think the taste varies depending on where you get them. Here we have 2 kinds of reds the lighter is strawberry and the darker is raspberry, while the green is apple, that's according to what the bag says.
I love gummy bears! My preferred brand for a while was Black Forest, but my work doesn't carry them anymore, except for the organic ones, which taste nasty to me. I'll eat the Haribo ones, but they're a little waxy for my tastes. I also had a coworker tell me you could soak gummy bears in vodka and then eat them, though I don't know why you would.
Soak gummi bears in liquor for a week and refrigerate, they're fantastic. They grow about 2x height (4x volume). Don't do it at room temperature or they get gelatinous and sloppy. Serve next to toothpicks. Vanilla vodka is the biggest crowd pleaser, so if you're only doing one batch, use that. Use enough liquid to cover and add more if they start poking out. But try other liquors, too. Jager or sambuca (bonus points for black sambuca) is good if you like black liquorice. Gin and tequila are probably a bit much for most people. Chartreuse is good. Orange liquors are good choices. They actually soak up a lot of alcohol, so don't think you're going to eat 10 of them like candy.
Growing up I never even knew those brands were even out there. The brand of gummy bears I've always and only seen were the "Heide Quality Gummi Bears" I always thought that Haribo was the Heide but just revamped until I did some research and realized that the brand I grew up with was discontinued.
On a whim I was wondering what how gummy candy in the shape of a little bear became so popular and lo and behold there's a youtube video detailing exactly that! nice!
Just had some wine gums from a local supermarket. I plan on going back for some more. Not a fan of gummies but these were closer to the juju candies I prefer.
Exactly. People get it confused though because they are phylogenetically classified within the mammal order Carnivora. But like dogs, raccoons, et al, they are omnivores; as much as of 90% of their diet being plants
Huh. I always thought a high point in gummi bear history was when fans used to throw "jelly babies" at the Beatles...for some reason I don't now recall. Because they thought the Fab Four liked them?
I remember going door to door in the area, I lived in selling the small bags of Gummibär for German Club when I studied German in high school back in the late 70s ( I graduated in 1980.) BTW, my German teacher would have thrown a fit if we pronounced the product incorrectly .
the color-influences-taste segment reminds me of the beverage called Looks Like Orange Tastes Like Grape. ?or is it Looks Like Pineapple Tastes Like Cinnamon? ?or...
We were shocked to hear that jelly beans are polished with beetle excrement!? We would love to learn the history on how this came to be. Great content. Thank you👐
I didn't realise gummy bears had different tastes for different colours! And I definitely didn't think they were fruit flavoured at all as all I taste is sugar.
I like Gummi Bears, but texture seems to be the hardest thing for various brands to get just right. Brachs used to be king for me, but it's been awhile so it wouldn't surprise me if they changed the recipe for the worse since last I had them... probably to make them vegan or something, like how Thin Mints and McDonald's french fries got ruined.
My sister sold gummy bears in her German club in the mid-1970s. I didn't like them then, I don't like them now. Jelly babies, especially the original ones, the corn starch free ones, I do like, not so hard.
5:15 and this is why some who have their first taste of Moxie soda from a can are shocked to discover that it does not, in fact, taste remotely like the orange anything that the can's hue strongly suggests. Moxie's flavor is similar to that of root beer, but it uses gentian root as its flavor base instead of sassafras.

Mission erfüllt.
my German teaching assistant in 1980 passed them out to all of her firends but we pronounced it GOOMY bears.
I recall that my stepfather, from New York introduced my small backwards town to gummy worms. Everybody thought I was trying to trick them into eating rubber fishing lure. I even had to eat one for them before they'd try them.

I was seven when I first had some in 1988. They were gifted to my Mum by one of her students and I was a huge fan of the cartoon!
I love the way this guy talks 🔥
Green haribo bears being strawberry flavored and not apple, blew my mind
Me too. I thought that they would have been lime.
It depends where you have your gummibears from
The German Haribo Gummibears have since 2007 6 flavours/colours (before there were just 5 flavours and the green gummibear was strawberry flavoured. That is how it is still with the us haribo gummibears)
Dark Red: Raspberry
Light Red: Strawberry
Green: Apple
White/colourless: Pineapple
Orange: Orange
Yellow: Lemon
Fascinating!!!! Please don't quit making these 🧸
Gold bears are my favorite candy, twin snakes is a very close second. Haribo does a great sour gummy without relying on coatings.
I'll have to check em out. I hate the crunch of sugar coating. Feels like sand. Toxic waste sour candy are pretty good, but not really something you wanna snack on.

Watching this while eating out of 6 pound bag of gummy bears I got from Sam's club lol so you know I had to watch.

To this day bears are still not allowed clubbing in Germany.

No love for Haribo's sugar free version? The bears got some small revenge there.
Very interesting! I actually had one of those 5lbs ones haha. Took a month to finish
I've always wondered how Disney made a deal to use the Gummi Bear name.
I think the taste varies depending on where you get them. Here we have 2 kinds of reds the lighter is strawberry and the darker is raspberry, while the green is apple, that's according to what the bag says.
In Denmark??
@@caffe1n8ed Yep. Though now I'm questioning myself cause it might be pear instead of apple.
I'm German and actually grew up near Bonn but honestly my fav Gummibär style candy is made by Red Band
I love gummy bears! My preferred brand for a while was Black Forest, but my work doesn't carry them anymore, except for the organic ones, which taste nasty to me. I'll eat the Haribo ones, but they're a little waxy for my tastes.

Commenting separately about the vodka gummies. They're fantastic.
You soak them in vodka then eat them because it gets you drunk while tasting delightful. Just don't eat them too early.

My fave has always been gold pineapple. Sometimes I find the pineapple only bags and stock up. 😊
On a whim I was wondering what how gummy candy in the shape of a little bear became so popular and lo and behold there's a youtube video detailing exactly that! nice!
oh dang currently eating bag of 100th anniversary haribos when this video popped up haha
How aboutba story about the Budweiser /Budejovice Beer name war?
I would like the history of the dirt cups from the 90s
right now Haribo has released all pineapple and all blue raspberry gummies for their 100th anniversary
Too bad you couldn't get any images of those D&D gummies.
Just had some wine gums from a local supermarket. I plan on going back for some more. Not a fan of gummies but these were closer to the juju candies I prefer.
I am a grown adult with a house, a job, a spouse and a kid. I have a bag of gummy bears on my desk right now.
In 1980 the German exchange student at my Minnesota school introduced us to GUmmy bears, with a long U sound- not like GUM, but with a German accent
Pro Tip: put your gummy candies in the fridge. They’re just so much more delicious that way
I associate gummy bears with 3D printing thanks to Prusa including them in all their packages, and companies like Atomic Filament following along.
so what about gummy worms? Is their history different, or does it follow the same path? Were they around in America before the 80s?
Bears are omnivores not carnivores. Sorry to nit-pick but come on everyone knows that.. lol 😂
Exactly. People get it confused though because they are phylogenetically classified within the mammal order Carnivora. But like dogs, raccoons, et al, they are omnivores; as much as of 90% of their diet being plants
ok, the Russian dancing bears are bad, but there is alot of needless bad mouthing of Wine Gums in this video.
Shows that Turkish candy store.
Me: updates bucket list.

If dancing bears are sad and gummy bears are delicious.. what would a dancing gummy bear be?
I didn't realise gummy bears had different tastes for different colours! And I definitely didn't think they were fruit flavoured at all as all I taste is sugar.
history of my favorite animal yay!
How many people remember candy raisins? The little brown lumps of delicious that tasted nothing like a raisin.
love ur nailpolish gorgeus
You should do jelly beans!
I prefer Black Forest gummy bears.
I like Gummi Bears, but texture seems to be the hardest thing for various brands to get just right.

The theme tune for the animated series fucking slapped!
How about Circus Peanut candies?
@7:40 - Bears are omnivores, not carnivores.

Wait your not Joe Hansen from "It's okay to be smart"?! Wow you guys sound so much alike
Green bears are apple in Europe (and possibly elsewhere).
Cola bottles are the best flavor.
I watched this while also eating haribo gummy bears
Really thought there was going to be some mention of edibles 🤔
10/10 would buy gummies in the shape of crushed animal rights activists

Me too!
why
@@mizusenshisongs how
Haribo still got sum of the best gummy bears!
Why were they called wine gums if they didn't have any wine in them?
Albanese has the best gummy bears!
Peach 🍑 rings are G. O. A. T.
Need to know that nail color. It’s looks like a periwinkle 👀❓
What!? Why don't we have D&D gummies on the shelf right now?
A candy made from animal abuse based on animal abuse. Interesting.
gummy bears rule, they're even better when they're infused with cannabis
Sounds disgusting, but gelatin is actually good for us
Seriously is there no one around here that can't perhaps maybe guide his wardrobe choices?
No mention of the sugar-free gummy bears?
The name originated from Gummibar to Gummy bear, I suppose
Does anyone getting ryan renolds vibes on downers from justin?

Green apple hairbo Gummi bears do exist
In that entire 49 seconds intro I was waiting for that Nazi shoe to drop I thought it was gonna happen when you said animal abuse which I wasn’t expecting.
I *LOVE* GUMMY BEARS!
I have added Arsch mit ohren to my insult lexicon.. just waiting for the perfect time to use it..
Gummy worms are still popular
I eat gummies which supply soluble fiber. They don't emulate any animal.
You mean Gummibär?? The name that Disney Stole??
They have pig 🐷 in them and are not kosher unless it’s made differently
First?
Ah yes. Pig bones.
Mm good food
Haribo gummy bears are not good in comparison to other brands.
Great video, but one nit-pik. Bears are omnivores.
