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

Apparently the signs have been in front of us, we’ve just never thought to look. Back in 2014, when Haribo USA released its Sour Gold-Bears, this was one of its promotional posts:

It was even on a promotional YouTube video:

The flavors are written out on some of the packages and people are freaking out, even regretting life decisions:
I just realized that with Haribo gummy bears, the green bear is strawberry… I’ve been throwing away the best ones my whole life???

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