I’m fairly positive I keep in mind when the primary hybrid gummy/licorice sweet got here out, a couple of decade in the past, from Katjes? Or Haribo? Or one other huge firm like that? For individuals like us, we dig em, as a result of we like licorice. For the opposite 80-85% of the inhabitants, they’re a simple and onerous move.
And so it went, Vegan variations or gummy variations, most had been the identical: fruit taste on half, licorice on the opposite. Frankly, I acquired actually bored of them and haven’t craved them in years. However then, these got here to my door in a magical package deal from Germany.
The distinction right here from previous varieties: sourness — along with being gigantic. And one thing about that sourness with licorice simply slaps, and HARD. The flavors are normal – apple, cherry and lemon. Probably the most primary of primary. Nevertheless it doesn’t matter, these are scrumptious.
Now…within the states, we have now a wide range of Haribo known as “Bitter Vampire Bats”. You’ll have seen them.
Whereas these are tasty, these are usually not the bitter vampire bats from Deutschland. The U.S. Bitter Vampire Bats aren’t licorice. And naturally they’re not. They’re made for us dumb Yanks who say silly shit like, “HEY I DON’T LIKE BLACK LICORICE BUT I LOVE THE RED STUFF.” And also you and me? We take a look at them with pity. As a result of they don’t get it.
However you and me do get it. And we are able to, proper right here
