The Haribo brand has been going downhill rapidly since hired managers took over leadership. It has been run by the same family for generations but the latest heirs had no interest in a leadership role. So it‘s run by random business people now who only make short term decisions based on numbers. When they moved their headquarters from Bonn (the town part of the company‘s name is based on. It‘s part of it‘s very DNA) to a tax haven state to save cost, everyone knew it was over. That company is just a Brand name with no identity now.
It graduated to a multi global demonic entity and now it employs humans to harvest the planet exponentially and will never stop even if the owners wanted to. Everyone’s just doing their job… Especially the top lawyers and presidents that get paid a lot so they can seem special
It’s not like they come with warranties or some magical immediate money back guarantee. And I doubt they wanted this to be a long term thing, they made their money already and anything happening post that has no effect on that.
Money made, that’s it, the people can burn for all they care.
That’s hilarious and sad. They outsourced their brand to the cheapest Chinese shit they could find. Stick to making candy, ja?

Except their candy also has the potential for explosions…

I prefer the time weed made it into them https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/29/haribo-recalls-sweets-in-the-netherlands-after-traces-of-cannabis-found
Top-notch company, right there. Really dotting their t’s and crossing their fingers!
What do ya reckon they do with their candy
I mean they were wildly successful and made a bunch of money so if you ask them, mission accomplished.
We’ll see in a couple of months when these things start failing/catching fire just like every other cheaply-made battery.

Just another reason not to buy earbuds. You are sticking a fairly large amount of power inside your ear.
