Haribo makes the best gummy bears.
I have a little Haribo tin, and it's empty. :cry:

I haven't had any since the man's Oma sent some from Germany last Christmas. :: sigh ::

1. I used to know a girl who ate those by the ton.
Wine gums, too.

3. Good stuff man.
I eat them too fast. :)

Haven't had wine gums. The man's Oma sent us some chocolate covered cherries with liqueur or wine or something in them though! Was doubly good tripping.

2. Oma? That sounds a little too much like Osama.
Typical liberal, supporting the enemy.

:evilgrin:

I agree - Haribo does indeed make the best gummy bears! Totally and absolutely. Anything else doesn't even come close. American ones are too sweet.

4. LOL. Oma is what he calls his
little old German Gramma. I dunno if that's what it means in German, but oh well.

And you're right. Nothing comes close to the deliciousness of Haribo gummy bears. :loveya:

5. Yes, Oma is German for grandma
Opa for grandpa.

7. Thank you!
I wasn't sure and asked the man, and he said he didn't know. He thought it meant "mom" and I said no, and we just got confused. And he was born there! :P

6. I'm sure I'm spelling this incorrectly
but my wife sings a little song when she eats Haribo:

Haribo macht kinder fro.

(Haribo makes children happy).

I'll try to babelfish that German unless a nice knowledgeable person provides helpful correction first.

Sweet little melody for quality gummy bears.

8. froh
Otherwise, you were right on!

Froh, wie seine Sonnen fliegen
Durch des Himmels prächt'gen Plan,
Laufet, Brüder, eure Bahn,
Freudig, wie ein Held zum Siegen.

9. Very close!
It's "froh"

Haribo's website says: "Haribo macht kinder froh und erwachsene ebenso."
