there's a problem with the picture - nutella is garbage, not chocolate.

And who doesnt remember the exquisite chocolate made by Chupa Chups and Haribo

does haribo just make gummy bears or is that only what they sell to americans? we tend to get the crappy versions, don't even get toys in our kinder eggs anymore because they could be a choking hazard.

Happy Cola is my favorite Haribo candy.

Extra fun if you pull a dokaryan and soak them in rum for a week; you get little gummy rum & coke "jello shots"

They make lots of different stuff, but its all similiar to gummi bears in one way or another. They have tiny marshmallows and maoam style sweets as well.

They definitely donโ€˜t sell chocolate though.

I got pistachio spread in Aldi and the taste is similar it made me realise how it is all the same base ingredients, sugar and oil.

yup. nutella would bother me way less if they just owned up to it and called it hazelnut flavored spread.
