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.
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
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"
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
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.
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.
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
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...
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.

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.
Thanks for not wearing an ugly sweater. The throwback 1990s Garth Brooks circa No Fences collar shirt is ...interesting But at least it's not another ugly sweater
He does enjoy wearing the occasional Cosby sweater. I wonder if he is actually color blind and he doesn't realize how bazaar some of his fashion choices are. Or maybe he's knows and just doesn't care how some of his sweaters and shirts make me want to claw out my own eyes 👀
@@BuchananBobby occasionally??? Once I had to stop watching for a few months because well....okay so.he was talking about ketchup and mustard history and he wore.....coordinating ketchup and mustard sweaters. . Like when he went from ketchup sweater to mustard sweater ....well I lost my shit
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🎵
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.
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. ;-)
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.
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.
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!
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).
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.
Gummy bears (German: Gummibär) are small, fruit gum candies, similar to a jelly baby in some English-speaking countries. The candy is roughly 2 cm (0.8 in) long and shaped in the form of a bear. The gummy bear is one of many gummies, popular gelatin-based candies sold in a variety of shapes and colors.
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 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 .
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?
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!
during the 80s, i remember buying almost entire inventory of haribo bears when girls were selling them for fundraising during high school. at the time, they were a novelty candy. i still prefer the taste of haribo gummies to this day over its competitors
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.
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.
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👐
