The description

HARIBO Starmix contains a selection of Haribo's most popular and iconic gummy pieces in one pack: the Goldbear, cola bottle, ring, foam heart, and foam egg.


The good

My youngest daughter requested that I surprise her with something sweet when I went food shopping this afternoon. While walking around the sweets (candy) section of the Beisia supermarket the Haribo display caught my eye. It has been a while since I purchased Haribo gummies and the "starmix" with a selection of five of their iconic gummy grabbed my attention. It includes two of the gummy with a "foam" (like marshmallow bit) that is my personal favorite so I bought the multipack size with individually wrapped packets containing five of the popular gummes - the Goldbear, the cola bottle, the ring, a foam heart and a foam egg.


The not so good

I am not a big fan of Haribo's signature "Goldbear" gummy bear, because I find it too hard and it takes too long to chew. I know some people swallow them whole, but I wasn't going to do that. I do like the fizzy cola bottles, but in this packet it is the one without the sugar coating. Again, I find it a bit too chewy. I do like the ring, the foam heart and the foam egg. The latter is my personal favorite. I like the contrast of the marshmallowing type foam part with the chewy gummy part. It doesn't state clearly on the packing how many of the individually wrapped packets there are in the multipack. I amn't about to count them, but I think its about ten. Which is a good size for my family, but I would prefer if they wrote clearly the amount of packets rather than the weight on the front of the package.
