HARIBO Lakritz Schnecken

Haribo is one of the most iconic confectionery brands globally, founded by Hans Riegel in Bonn, Germany, in 1920. The name itself is an acronym for Hans Riegel Bonn. The product shown, recognizable by the packaging style and the partial 'Haribo macht Kinder froh' slogan visible on the reverse of the film, is a liquorice variety, likely the classic 'Lakritz Schnecken' (liquorice snails) given the black color of the candy and the 175g weight common in German markets.

Historically, Haribo remains a family-owned business, managed by the Riegel family for generations. While its headquarters and primary production sites remain in Germany (such as Bonn and Grafschaft), the company has expanded its manufacturing footprint across Europe and the United States to meet global demand. Despite its massive international scale, it has resisted acquisition by larger food conglomerates, maintaining its independence and secret recipes.
