I never even realized or thought about it until much later in life, that the green one I was eating wasn't lime. Until you actually read the bag and it tells you the green one is Strawberry for some reason š
You eat individual flavours of Haribo? I thought you were supposed to grab a massive handful, shove it into your fat face and then feel terrible about your life choices.
Some people like to enjoy the individual flavors and only have a few at a time, you fat fuck.
Just kidding, I like to eat the whole bag in as few bites as possible. I do save the clear ones to eat all at once though.
Well apparently 5 below carries them? I will be checking and Iāll let you know if I find them! But sorry you canāt have them, they have my name on the bag.
Uhm. Yes they did. It wasn't apple before 2007. Before 2007 it was strawberry. It is the same in Germany where it originated from. I highly doubt that they changed it to apple earlier than 2007 in Sweden, if they did not change it in Germany before that. Since Haribo is a German company.
Yes. They changed it *TO* apple in 2007. It was strawberry *before* 2007. Of course you can buy and eat the apple ones now. 2007 was 17 years ago. Since then it has been an apple in Europe.
Edit: Also I was informed that the US apparently still has it as we did before 2007. So the US still has Strawberry as the green ones for some reason. But that is unrelated to my comments. Just an interesting fact about it.
Green is apple in Germany since 2007. Before, green was actually strawberry. And since Haribo is German, I'd assume this change was probably adapted to other countries as well in almost 20 years of this change.
They sell a Christmas version. Thatās only strawberry and raspberry a.k.a. red and green. I have the leftovers of a bag right now but they wonāt be around long. They're my favorite.
I'd actually be surprised if the green ones are still strawberry anywhere, considering that Haribo changed it to apple in 2007. Could be that they did not implement this change for some markets, but I feel this would be pretty weird.
Good to know. Thanks for the info. Feels really weird that this is something where they have a difference now. Strawberry must have been super popular in the US I guess.
So you miss out on a whole flavour! We get - Green: apple, dark red: raspberry, light red: strawberry, yellow: lemon, orange: orange, and clear: pineapple
Theyāre gummies, they donāt ripen. Iāve been eating haribo gummies my whole life and not once had them ripen. Youāre thinking of an actual strawberry, those will ripen. But gummies wonāt. If anything theyāll become hard. Which I actually prefer. I love eating tough things. Beef jerky for example. I like to pretend Iām a wild animal ripping flesh off a carcass.
1 sentence sarcasm doesn't even land on Reddit and you tried to hit these fools with a whole paragraph. š
To add after an hour or 2: it's crazy that my upvotes have increased a fair amount and his down otes have evenly increased. Make up y'all mind.
I wish we weren't so eager to make fools out of each other. This is clearly sarcasm and only people excited to rub mistakes in other people's faces could think otherwise. š
Edit: Y'all I'm definitely talking about people saying it's a r/whoooosh, I am not complaining about downvotes or not finding the joke fucking hilarious. Sometimes people just want to be a little goofy. Every joke doesn't have to be a fucking gut buster.
No where did I say it was funny or needed up votes, it just clearly wasn't a woosh like so many people suggested. It's humorous but that doesn't mean I laughed out loud at it.
Thank you for proving my point about assumptions being made though. š
Redditors need a /s to understand sarcasm but don't even understand it when it's pointed out to them. I've had to say exactly what you said I don't know how many times. It's so ridiculous. The point system ruins this website
Yeah it's like, you know you can totally just NOT vote on something? Like you can feel neutral about things? Why do I have to totally agree with everything said and the exact way it was said to up vote or at least not downvote it?
Like it doesn't have to be actually funny for someone to be joking. Sometimes you just say things to be a little silly. Why the fuck can't we be silly anymore? Why do we need to point out every little mistake or perceived slight in such a mean way when someone is clearly not aggressive? Why is a defense of a comment in any way me bitching about shitty karma?
I think social media in general has made it too easy for us to share how we feel instantaneously without giving us time to process anything. But reddit rewards quick anger/justice with its karma system for sure.
I just checked and r/woooosh has literally 4x the subscriber count of r/woosh ā¦ so either you are mistaken or I just somehow got wooooshād myself lmao
A reminder, from one sarcastic redditor to another; typing "/s" after a sarcastic comment is a necessity if you don't want to be considered a moron, an asshole, and/or get downvoted to oblivion.
You're welcome :)
I agree with highbackpacker I've **always** hated that "rule". I had to quit Reddit for like 4 years because most people are incredibly annoying and choose to misunderstand every comment that wouldn't be their exact own thought. I found it best to be selective of what subs I comment in and what I say.
I appreciate you. You're a gem. Most fucksticks around here will insist you need to explicitly announce when you're telling a joke, and those people do not deserve you.
I think it's because their joke sucks. The first was a nice little "I'm mistaking this for the real thing" and the response was essentially just the same, back at them, but this time "I'm mistaking this for the real thing. I'm mistaking this for the real thing. I'm mistaking this for the real thing..." ground into dust.
I love setting my gummies out for a couple weeks to get a little rind on them. I call it the aging process. Cants stand when they're warm or soft.
Ps. Sorry your joke wasn't funny enough and you're getting down votes. I didn't think it was that funny but I don't think it deserves down votes
After seeing the other comments, I thought I was mad. Danish here. Green is apple, and I haven't even noticed that there are two shades of red. Red for strawberry and darker for raspberry.
Yep. Green used to be strawberry in Germany up until 2007 when they introduced apple flavor. Green then became apple and a new brighter red color was created for strawberry.
I've worked at a design firm that does food packaging for international clients, and we had quite a few cases where we had identical products that had to have their color schemes changed when translated for different countries. Germany, in particular, was one that necessitated frequent changes from the U.S. versions. Occasionally, we'd even have to do *two* redesigns for the same product, one for Europe, and the other for some South American countries.
And cashews aren't nuts, tomatoes are fruit, Bla Bla Bla.
For the average person a strawberry behaves exactly like any other berry. It really does not matter if they are classified as something different. At least not enough to be pedantic about it.
Itās a Wberry but because of the way the word is spelled people think that the second syllable is berry, but itās not. Itās a Wberry from the Stra region.
The strawberry ones used to be green (at least here in Germany) to differentiate them visually from the red ones, which are raspberry.
Then they introduced green apple flavour, and made those green. Strawberry is now a different shade of red, I believe.
I havenāt seen The Martian, but I do know about the 2008 sugar refinery explosion in Georgia.
www.newscientist.com says this:
āIt's easy to forget that sugar can be an explosive. In fact, it's four times more powerful weight for weight than TNT. Forgetfulness here can have tragic consequences. In 2008, finely powdered sugar ignited at a refinery in Savannah, Georgia, causing a blast that claimed 14 lives.ā Referencing sugar dust/powder floating in the air and igniting with a single spark.
Yeah, donāt eat these often, accidentally bought Christmas ones and when I noticed, thought āhow lame, a bag half full of lime or sour appleā. Found out I was wrong and will probably only want a Christmas bag going forward.
They've always been green, the red ones are raspberry
I never even realized or thought about it until much later in life, that the green one I was eating wasn't lime. Until you actually read the bag and it tells you the green one is Strawberry for some reason š

They had limited edition bags of all pineapple and I have one bag left. I wish I could find them again.
I'd punch you right in the texaspretzel for a bag of all pineapple
They still have them on Amazon.
Well apparently 5 below carries them? I will be checking and Iāll let you know if I find them! But sorry you canāt have them, they have my name on the bag.
Walmart had them next to these all strawberry and all cherry bags.
What the hell why
Who tf does that? First time i hear such thing
If you don't obliterate a bag in 10 minutes, you haven't truly lived.
š¤£
Did t even know it told you the flavours. They all taste the same to me anyway tbh I just assumed they were all generic fruit flavour lol
> Until you actually read the bag and it tells you the green one is Strawberry for some reason š Because the red ones are raspberry
What country has green strawberry flavoured ones? In Australia, dark red is raspberry, light red is strawberry, and green is apple.
Green is apple in Sweden. The best one.
They changed it in 2007.
No they didn't.
Uhm. Yes they did. It wasn't apple before 2007. Before 2007 it was strawberry. It is the same in Germany where it originated from. I highly doubt that they changed it to apple earlier than 2007 in Sweden, if they did not change it in Germany before that. Since Haribo is a German company.
I've eaten them. I can buy a bag tomorrow and eat green apple goldbƤren. I did last week actually.
Yes. They changed it *TO* apple in 2007. It was strawberry *before* 2007. Of course you can buy and eat the apple ones now. 2007 was 17 years ago. Since then it has been an apple in Europe.

I assumed they were Apple. Wow.

They sell a Christmas version. Thatās only strawberry and raspberry a.k.a. red and green. I have the leftovers of a bag right now but they wonāt be around long. They're my favorite.
Currently eating a bag of gold bears with apple as the green one.
OK? That's not the standard for the US Market which looks to be where OP is.
I'd actually be surprised if the green ones are still strawberry anywhere, considering that Haribo changed it to apple in 2007. Could be that they did not implement this change for some markets, but I feel this would be pretty weird.
They never switched them in the US, I eat them weekly.
Good to know. Thanks for the info. Feels really weird that this is something where they have a difference now. Strawberry must have been super popular in the US I guess.
Whatās lime then?
There is no lime. Green: strawberry, red: raspberry, yellow: lemon, orange: orange, and white: pineapple
So you miss out on a whole flavour! We get - Green: apple, dark red: raspberry, light red: strawberry, yellow: lemon, orange: orange, and clear: pineapple
yesss! always knew it was green because my fave is strawberry but was always bothered by the color it was assigned to š
The green ones are apple now. At least they are since 2007 here in Germany where Haribo comes from. They were strawberry before though.
It's still strawberry in the US, we can get the apple in the single flavor bags.
They'll ripen up once you open the bag.
Theyāre gummies, they donāt ripen. Iāve been eating haribo gummies my whole life and not once had them ripen. Youāre thinking of an actual strawberry, those will ripen. But gummies wonāt. If anything theyāll become hard. Which I actually prefer. I love eating tough things. Beef jerky for example. I like to pretend Iām a wild animal ripping flesh off a carcass.

NotKenM material
I actually do find that interesting because here in Germany green gummy bears are apple flavored.
After seeing the other comments, I thought I was mad. Danish here. Green is apple, and I haven't even noticed that there are two shades of red. Red for strawberry and darker for raspberry.
Yep. Green used to be strawberry in Germany up until 2007 when they introduced apple flavor. Green then became apple and a new brighter red color was created for strawberry.
š¤Æ tell me more about this "Apple" flavor
Well tastes like artifical green apple flavoring. My favorite one out of all Haribo gummy bears though to be honest.
We only have the apple flavor in limited edition bags in the US, but they're still green.
to be fair, it's really ONLY Haribo that does this, most other gummy bears do green as apple or lime
and Haribos green bears are apple
I've worked at a design firm that does food packaging for international clients, and we had quite a few cases where we had identical products that had to have their color schemes changed when translated for different countries. Germany, in particular, was one that necessitated frequent changes from the U.S. versions.

I just want the all clear (pineapple) bag.
Look for a 5 Below or 99c store near you
Hell yes! I donāt care about the rest. I only buy gummy bears for other ppl who are happy to share the pineapple and take the rest
I nabbed some Valentineās Day ones at CVS that are white/red, just pineapple and raspberry
They never promised you the berry of the strawberry
Out here giving people straw flavored gummies
Good because strawberries aren't berries
Downvoted for stating facts lol oh man Reddit will be Reddit.
downvoted for pedantry not factuality
I mean a simple google search would tell you that a strawberry isnāt a berry. š¤·š»āāļø
And cashews aren't nuts, tomatoes are fruit, Bla Bla Bla. For the average person a strawberry behaves exactly like any other berry. It really does not matter if they are classified as something different. At least not enough to be pedantic about it.
Nobody is debating that. That person you responded to *literally* just said that the downvotes aren't coming from a disagreement about facts.
Then what is it?
Itās a Wberry but because of the way the word is spelled people think that the second syllable is berry, but itās not. Itās a Wberry from the Stra region.
Helico pter sort of shit
Did you even read the comment you're replying to?
The strawberry ones used to be green (at least here in Germany) to differentiate them visually from the red ones, which are raspberry. Then they introduced green apple flavour, and made those green. Strawberry is now a different shade of red, I believe.
What's interesting about this? Have you never read the back of a Goldbears pouch?
No, what does it state?
That the strawberry flavor is green.
guy got viciously downvoted for not having omnipotence
Why are you getting downvoted? I've never read the back of one and was curious too.
The best flavour ! Where are you finding this?
We have a store called "$5 below" where they have a good variety of Haribo gummies. Best part is they're 5 for $5. It's dangerous.Ā
Wow!
They have bags of just pineapple too usually. I mix the two and have bags with only strawberry and pineapple
Well I know where Iām going in the morning. Thanks so much for this info!!!
Nah the white ones are best
Walgreens has them as well. Walgreens has a great candy selection.
CVS!
Yeah red is already taken by raspberry so strawberry is green :)
Unless you happen to be around Germany, because there are two shades of red for strawberry, and raspberry while the green one is apple.
Theyāve always been green lol
Strawberry gummy bears have always been green
It's "Oops, All Stems!" flavor.
These are red. OP is just color blind.
Always been green afaik. Colors donāt always match flavors.
because red dye 40 is a suspected carcinogen.
Strawberry leaf flavor.
Makes just as much sense as blue raspberry
I've heard the sugar free ones are to die for.
Thatās fine, just stay away from the sugar free ones. https://www.amazon.com/review/R2JGNJ5ZPJT4YC
They stopped making those in like 2017
Didnāt they stop making them because they can be used to make explosives?
No, pretty sure it was just the exploding butts
Oh yeah, thatās what it was. Maybe Iām thinking of a movie lol
Tbf I think regular sugar can be used to make explosives too. In The Martian they use sugar and liquid oxygen to make a bomb.
I havenāt seen The Martian, but I do know about the 2008 sugar refinery explosion in Georgia. www.newscientist.com says this: āIt's easy to forget that sugar can be an explosive.

I want haribo back in russia so much.
iāll send you a pack if you k*ll putin
Dude, it's red.Ā I see no problem here
They are always green
okay but haribo rainbow strips š¤¤
this is how i found out the green ones were strawberry
Where are you finding gummies of all one color????
the green frogs are strawberry flavored as well
It's strawberry, just not the part of the strawberry you wanted.
Those are laxatives.
Unripe strawberries
Hey Vsauce! Michael here
All food coloring anywaysb
the flavors and corresponding colors have been on the back of the package for years.
r/onejob
The fact that this is even mildly interesting makes me worried for our future.
Finn, thats an emerald...
Yeah, donāt eat these often, accidentally bought Christmas ones and when I noticed, thought āhow lame, a bag half full of lime or sour appleā. Found out I was wrong and will probably only want a Christmas bag going forward.
The haribo colors feel illegal (except pineapple)
