Haribo fans feel 'misled' after finding out the real flavour of green gummy bears

Haribo is a much-loved sweet brand around the world. Each year millions of us will enjoy their delightful treats including favourites such as the cola bottle or the famous fried egg.

But many social media users have been left in shock after finding out the real flavour of the green Haribo gummy bear - and it is definitely not what you might think.

As many of us have grown up with these tasty sweets being a staple treat, we might think we know everything there is to know about them - but this little-known truth has certainly shaken that up.

In a Reddit post, one person revealed the real flavours of the gummy green bear sweets and it has certainly gained a lot of reaction.

They said: "Today I learned that Haribo green gummy bears are actually strawberry flavoured."

Most people assumed the green sweet was lime or apple flavour, so were stunned that the real taste is actually strawberry.

One person took to social media to share: "Calling the police over whether the green Haribo gummy bears are strawberry or apple."

Someone else took to Twitter to share: "I was positive they were apple flavoured. Man, now I don't know what to think."

The five flavours of the gummy bear sweets are: orange, strawberry, pineapple, lemon and raspberry.

But some were quick to point out that the flavours are actually written on the back of the pack and can be found on the website, so they were not quite as surprised at the revelation.

Someone noted: "So sorry you can't read a package."

Another person pointed out the odd colour and flavour combinations in other gummy bears and said: "Green strawberry is clearly the weirdest, but is everyone fine with white pineapple?"
