So Apparently, Green Gummy Bears Are Actually Strawberry Flavored

It’s probably not something you think about, or even bother to check, but in a strange plot twist to the snacks we thought we knew, the green-colored Haribo Gold-Bears are strawberry-flavored.

We’re not ones to profile based on color, but you’d expect the green gummy bears to be lime, apple, or even kale-flavored, but never strawberry.

The color schemes go like this:

Green- Strawberry
Red- Raspberry
Yellow- Lemon
Orange- Orange
That Weird, Clear, Peachy Color- Pineapple

According to Thrillist, the red bears in Germany are strawberry-flavored. At least we can all trust Germany.
