The Germany-Japan connection

While browsing the online supermarket for our weekly needs, this familiar product suddenly popped-up on my screen.

It's one of my favourite gummy brands - Haribo!

Previously, Haribo reminded me a lot of Europe. It was the brand that Tita Evelyn would bring home from Barcelona whenever they'd visit. Then, during my travels to Germany, I learned that this brand was originally from there, ergo you can find it in every street corner. It was my default sweet during my trips to Berlin, Koln, Munich, Frankfurt and Stuttgart. 

Then, from Japan, my memories of Haribo shifted to Tokyo. Whenever Mark and I would go to Donki, this was one thing I'd always put in our basket and bring home as a snack in TIEC and IH.

Now that I know where to buy it in MNL, I'm sure Haribo will be a constant part of my snacking routine. Let's see where the first bite will take me this time.

Yummy Gummy!

Whenever we visit Don Quixote, I'm always amazed at the range of Haribo gummy candies that they have.

My first recollection of Haribo was in Europe. And the product was Haribo Grapefruit. That's why when I'm in Japan, I always buy a pack. Not only do I like the texture, but the sour grapefruit flavor rates high in my book.

I should buy more packs of these and bring it home to Manila. It's quite rare to find this product back home.
