Haribo Goldbears (Złote Misie) gummy bears

Haribo is one of the world's most recognizable confectionery brands, famous specifically for its invention of the gummy bear. Founded in 1920 by Hans Riegel Sr. in Bonn, Germany, the brand name is an acronym for Hans Riegel Bonn. The flagship product, the Goldbear (Goldbär), was originally introduced as the 'Dancing Bear' in 1922 and transitioned to its modern 'Goldbear' identity in 1967.

Haribo remains a family-owned business, currently managed by the Riegel family. While the brand is quintessentially German, its manufacturing footprint is global to meet international demand. In Europe, production is distributed across several facilities in Germany, Austria, France, Belgium, and Turkey. The specific product in the image is distributed in Poland by Haribo Sp. z o.o., based in Warsaw, but the gummy bears themselves are typically produced in one of their various European factories depending on regional supply chains and specific pack sizes.
