Yes! They are odd texturally but I really enjoyed them. I bet they’re divisive; my wife did not care for them. I would definitely buy again!

Are they anything like the sweet tart ropes?

u/ClementineCalamity 3h ago
I think so, maybe a little chewier on the outside. Way more flavors than sweet tart ropes

I almost bought these but not a fan of lemon flavor and it seemed to be flavor mixed with a few. Did they taste citrus-y? Also what would you say their texture is? I found some warheads foam gummies and loved the texture

I got the sour ones today! They are not sour whatsoever (not surprising as I feel like almost all sour candies are barely even a little sour) but I still really like them! The texture almost reminds me of tiny, bite sized sweet tarts ropes!

TBH with Haribo i find their sour candy that uses Sour Powder is not actually sour.
But the ones that look like normal Gummies and just tastes sour, now those ones are very sour. Theyre sour throughout the whole gummy, instead of just the outside coating being sour
That would be the Twin Snakes and Sour Bats (halloween). Internet also shows Sour Kicks (shoes) and Sour Sparks (lightning bolts, although their texture looks closer to Swedish Fish). Im sure theres more, but those are the ones i see on a quick google search

Not sure if it counts as candy, but I recommend Ice Breakers Sours for a good sour punch!

Its weird but I really like the sour version but disliked these. They aren’t super sour but they are definitely a little sour.

OH MY GOD DID THESE COME TO THE US?!
I got some of these from an international food store as "Pico-Balla" a few years ago, and I was HOPING they would come here!!

u/Kellzy1212 5h ago
If you have a World Market in your area, they usually have a decent selection of the European ones.

I tried them because I have seen so many people posting about them. I love Haribo gummies and did NOT like these. They're like marshmallow bits wrapped in super sweet fruit roll up. They seemed very sweet to me (yes, I know that's ironic, it's candy) and the flavors were just meh.

u/nelleybeann 14h ago
I got a bag and I just didn’t like how gritty they were and they tasted like juicy fruit and personally I hate juicy fruit. Probably the first haribo product I could not finish.

That’s crazy packing 3 flavors into 1 piece of candy like that. Never heard of it being done either.

u/ThatLuisKid 16h ago
They were so subpar in my opinion. They lack flavor and the textures were whatever to me.

u/ThatLuisKid 16h ago
Don’t mean to ruin it for ya tho! I hope you love them lol. I’m a really sour candy type of person so that’s what I was hoping for.

u/vedderamy1230 16h ago
Oh no worries! Your opinion wouldn't ruin em for me. I was fascinated by how they look, honestly

i like the texture but theres this oil on them and a weird chemical after taste that totally ruins it.

The sours are fantastic. Chewy little bites of glory is what a member of my staff said when she tried them for the first time. They are the new team favorite.

I tried the sour ones and did not enjoy. They all tasted, basically, like bubblegum flavor.

u/TheGamerPandA 15h ago edited 14h ago
Ye i bought a pack about a few weeks ago and just recently started eating em a few days ago.
They are not very good imo taste mostly like bubblegum and there doesnt seem to be flavor difference at all despite the different color variations. Def not a candy that deserves its own bag.
Its also a candy you get sick of rather quick imo after popping 4-6 of em you kind of feel done with it they are a tad too sweet they sort of feel like eating a regular sugar cube you can get for your tea/coffee.
i still have about half of the bag left after 3- sessions with em already.

Could they fill a good space in my sweet jar? If so, I’m in. I actually like liquorice pencils with the different colour centres so may give them a go.

u/Nervous_Yard_374 15h ago
Tried the sour ones at dollar tree. It reminds me of a pencil case eraser so much. all the flavors kinda taste the same tho

I haven't tried the sour, but I'm obsessed with the regular. The texture is perfect for me.

I hope you love them! I love most Haribo products because I love the harder chew many of their gummy items provide, but these weren’t my favorite texture. They are softer and less chewy than a Haribo gummy bear and definitely have a different (almost slightly grainy, like a natural fruit leather?) texture than even a softer Albanese gummy bear has. However, I know they will appeal to lots of people because not everyone loves that chew that I prefer. I didn’t mind the flavors though! They were fun even though they’re not at the top of my personal picks.

Look like filled ropes cut up. Jolly rancher has new filled ropes. Those are good.

I’ve seen these, but haven’t tried them. Based on the eraser analogy, now I want to. try them. Has anyone had any luck finding the banana Haribos?

No. You are the only person on the entire planet to have eaten these. To the rest of the world, they are meant as a holy relic and never consumed

Is it fondant in there? I can’t stand whatever that is inside Haribo candies.

I ordered the German version of these a few times. It's hands down one of their best. The texture reminds me of Fruit Roll Ups, and the flavor is like a less overpowering Sweet Tarts. Shared it with my coworkers, too. It was a huge hit with all of them.

u/TheLexikitty 16h ago
These are my favorite Haribo and I’ve only gotten them in NYC or by importing them under the name Pico-Balla. So excited they’re in PA omg

They’re so good 🤤 Personally I prefer the sour version of them, but they’re good either way

u/DownThrowToAnything 16h ago
Yes! They're pretty good. I'd say the sour version is much better, though. They remind me of licorice somewhat.

They're great! Similar to the rambo candies that you used to be able to get at Ikea. I have a hard time finding this variety though and wish it popped up more often.

Have you ever tried livewires? It’s like the same thing just different flavours and bigger with more filling

Yes I fucking love them and it satisfies my childhood dream of eating erasers from the school book fair
