We're like opposite people. I LOVE the stacked licorice ones, really like yoghurt gummies, I prefer softer marshmallowy texture to tough chewy gummies, and I probably ate my weight in Haribo Berries.
I like those stacked ones too lol, except when its left in the candy tin and they're stale because no one wanted to eat them
the coiled liquorice haribos don't have a very good liquorice flavour though, spoken as a dutch person who really likes liquorice :P

Don't forget the Swedish fish flavour is awesome lingonberry flavour.
@@allanfulton7569 Can't say, I've never had those.
What the hell is wrong with people disliking liquorice?
Well, always interesting to see how tastes differ. I actually love the contrast between the hard sugar pearls and the soft squishy interior of the berry candies.
They are the best!
Berries are my favorite because of all the different ways I can eat them. Sometimes I chew off all the beads before chomping on the gumdrop.
Ha yes I was just about say--jelly babies are my family's favourite candies, they're never in the house for very long LOL

Berries are THE best.
Of course, the real answer is that Wine Gums, and original recipe Fruit Pastilles, worked out how to be the perfect gummy sweet, and everything else since has been a slow decline from perfection.
Albanese is a legit good American gummy. Pretty minimalist from a branding perspective
They have good flavors but I don't like their texture. They leave an aftertaste.
I had both german gummies and american gummies, while german gummies and their natural flavorings wins hands down, and Trolli and Haribo are goated brands. I can't help but say Albanese wins the cake for me. They're a medium soft gummy with mostly natural tasting flavorings, but if you like a very firm gummy these aren't for you.
I came here to rep Albanese. So glad I’m not alone. 👍🏾👍🏾
@@QuackZack The Trolli Candy from The Ferrara Candy Company by The Italian family company Ferrero is actually not from Germany 🇩🇪, but The Trolli Candy from The Ferrara Candy Company by The Italian family company Ferrero is actually original from The United States of America 🇺🇸🇮🇹 and now also ( Italy 🇮🇹 ) and Ferrero international export and import Luxembourg 🇱🇺 also by the Italian family company Ferrero my friend 😊😁😎😃🙂👍🏻👍🏻
@@QuackZack The Albanese Sour Gummies are good too!
Sour gummy worms weren't invented until 1987 and that blows my mind, I assumed they were around longer than that! I would be interested to learn when popular candies in different countries were made, and enjoyed this video a lot. Thank you for your hard work!
I've been recently looking into some extremely sour gummy candies, but can't find them :( I think they were in a plastic tube in a shape of very long strings. I live in Hungary, so the most popular candies were German ones. Such a coincidence this episode came up when I was just looking into this topic :)
Those Haribo Konfekt are called "Engelse Drop" in the Netherlands, translated to "English liquorice". Because it was first produced in Sheffield (UK). It's funny how most people in the world dislike it, but most people in the Netherlands love it.
I think you have to taste it in early childhood. Otherwise you will never like it.
Ha ha I lived in Sheffield. But we think Licorice sweets originated in Pontefract (also in Yorkshire). I havent truth-checked that!
Here in Denmark we eat tons and tons of liquorice, too! :-D
@@carolinevidemark8564 do you have that salty licorice? I have never tried it.
@@helenswan705 Yes, in many sorts! From very mild to ripping up your palate, Sal ammoniac liquorice (I looked it up for translation)
You need to try the Haribo peach gummies (or some equivalent). Peach ring gummies can be pretty meh, but if you find some good ones (like the Haribo ones in my opinion) they are great.
The Haribo peach gummies have a crystallized sugar outer shell, and then a softer than average gummy inside. Really great peach flavor, and I have to have a lot of restraint when I get a bag at my birthday or something.
Dude, you omitted Wine Gums, clearly a really well known and popular gummy candy.
Given his strong reactions to many candies I assume he ruled those out in the first place.
He's looking for a very collagen kinda texture.
@@MrHodoAstartes Bassets made wine gums with an amazing chew. Until they changed their recipe and ruined them.
@@madcowpp I actually prefer aldis wine gums now. Way better texture.
@@madcowpp Damn. Rowntrees ruined their fruit pastilles by taking the gelatine out.
Cool! Finally, the video the gummy aficionados have been waiting for! I didn't expect it after your homemade gummies experiment but now I can't wait to see where this goes! Excellent!
Different gummies have a very different stretchiness to chewiness/bounciness ratio. This needs to be explored.
Also, this might sound crazy, but I think the different sounds they make when you drop one on a plate tells you a lot about the gummy's texture. Some people might like a gummy that makes no sound. Some people might want a hard shell and soft interior. Bring on the acoustics testing.
You have opened up a can of sour worms. So many brands missed. Rowntree's fruit pastilles from the UK are epic. Allen's Tangy Sourz Randoms (Australian brand) made in Czech Republic are super addictive. Also South Africa has Jelly tots
ohh I agree wholeheartedly, a Tube of rowntree's is EPIC.
Aussie here. Yeah, rownantree and Allen's should be on the list(or natural confectionery company) they're both so different to Haribo!
He wouldn’t have liked any of them he’s biased 😂
Rowntree Jellytots were my all time childhood faves as well they were great for cookie decorating!
Calling gummy candy "pastilles" seems like such a british thing to me 😄
I actually prefer the thic-non-chewy texture of gummies without gelatine over the super chewy ones. I love how it stuck to your teeth. My favorite ones are HRIBO Schlümpfe (smerfs).
You are such a good reviewer! Quick, enthusiastic, witty.
Andong looses his entire British audience by insulting jelly babies 😂😂
If you can get a hold of them, Albanese gummies are pretty darn good. Thank you for your content and keeping me entertained after surgery.
Why are these videos sooooo entertaining to watch? I really like your camera-presence Andong! You make me want to go out and buy some candy for myself. Wish I had your confidence in front of the camera :D Keep up the good work and we will be waiting patiently for your next video. Have a great week
For me, a German boy, Haribo, Nimm2 and co are obviously the best (I even like licorice), but internationally I found Rowntrees Fruit Pastilles in the UK, so you definitely should try them
Gummies are my guilty pleasure. I’m so happy to see you review all these gummies because I’m personally still seeking the best one that I can find in the US
Jelly Beans have long been a mystery to me. It must be, as you suggested, the branding. Jelly Belly did some sort of push a few years back, getting in-store dispensers and pretending combining jelly beans to get certain flavor combinations was a thing anyone would ever do. Around that time, I think everyone ended up being gifted a large box/bag of them from an older relative.
Twizzlers are an even bigger mystery. They exist by some kind of inertia. Maybe ghosts are buying them.
Most people I know like red Twizzlers a lot but rarely see anyone buy the licorice.
I love black licorice, but I can only find bags of black jelly beans around Easter. And I can never buy enough to get me through the year.
I love Good & Plenty candy too, and I suppose it could be considered a gummy
I'm excited to see what you could make, there's a speciality gummy chain of candy shops locally but I've found their novelty gummies to be more about looks than textures, so I'd love someone approaching it with the texture in mind as well

My favorite gummies are Albanese brand (these are Americans) gummy worms. Personally I don't like how tough Haribo gummies tend to be, but it seems like that's a cultural thing. My brother-in-law is German and Haribo is his favorite brand of gummies.
The best gummy candy I have had was an apple gummy candy from Japan. It had a really nice apple taste and the texture was excellent.
To be fair, it's a tactic difference. American gummies are typically more of a "let them sit in your mouth for a minute first" type experience
You should have just traveled to Sweden and stepped into any given petrol station or supermarket, and you could have bought 100+ different varieties of gummy candy, 1-2 pieces of each kind and paid by weight. So much more variety than what you managed to come across.
you mean like what we used to call, in the UK, pick-n mix? Loos sweets, pick your own bag, eat a few nobody will know then buy them??
So true, everyone I know hated those Konfekt gummies. That was 30 years ago, I am surprised that they are still around.
living the dream. damn i hope one day, i can make a delivery to your studio when you are testing this stuff out one day.
You really picked the wrong Twizzlers, and I knew you were gonna hate them. The OG ones, while still clearly artificially flavored, are BIZARRELY addictive.
Like, I don’t even know if they’re GOOD, all I know is I can’t stop eating them once I start on a bag…
he probably won't like it if you check amazon reviews germans don't like american sweets 99% of the time
Nice video! Gave me Rhett & Link vibes with all the tasting and the table lol ) Good job on describing the taste! You really did not use very much of the same words!
Here in Brazil we have 3 famous brands:
Fini, Haribo and Dori
You needed some Australian gummies like snakes! I love them.
This, so much.
Natural Confectionery Co. Snakes would be a winner.
I'd go for some strawberries and cream, too; show him what a good dairy gummy can be.
@@AaronStyles I have an open bag in the cupboard always.
You also got a twizzler variant, the og red twizzler is less like a candle and more firm. It's also not peelable, it just has a twisty shape and a hole in the center
I love Haribo's Waldgeister (Waldmeister / sweet woodruff) gummies. The packaging is adorable and the gummies are kind of cute too. I'd love to know whether there is some genetic predisposition towards enjoying flavors like licorice/anise/fennel, the same way there is for cilantro (soap vs. fresh vegetal flavor). I'm actually one of the folks who can taste cilantro both ways. When it's soap, it's a big old nope, but most of the time it's very yes because it's a bright, almost refreshing vegetal flavor for me when it's not soap.
I think Ricola deserves a honorable mention for his medicinal herbs gummies.
I think my favourite gummy is the peach hearts 🍑 💖, maybe not so chewy but really fan of the taste, I think Aso the flat shape allows to release more flavour faster.
theyre not really gummy though no?
I don't know how available they are for you, but Albanese gummies are great. The pineapple one is top tier.
Definitely agree! I love the texture and they have so many flavors in a bag.
Since you put so much emphasis on the branding, I am surprised you did not mention the wordplay that is "Lach(laugh)gummis" as the opposite of "Wein(cry)gummis"
Video should be called “German guy trying international candies with closed mind”
Now the secret to gummy bears is cracked, I would love to see how jelly beans are made.
Peach flavoured rings (or green apple flavoured rings) have to be my favourite! Although there are very few candies I actively dislike (even Licorice)
I grew up in Switzerland and live in Portugal now, the Trolli sour worms is one of the things I miss the most. They're the greatest, I agree.
I used to love the Haribo Frogs I got at my HS crap job, that and the peach rings as well. Still good last time I tried them, but I do like Sour Patch as well.
Licorice was a really helpful diet candy for me. It scratched the candy itch without me feeling compelled to cram the entire bag down my throat in 27 seconds.
Haribo Tropifrutti are my favorite from childhood. Way to bring back memories, haha!
Trolli Octopus are my favorite! Like the sour worms but more surface area!
Where is the Haribo Cola bottles with citric acid on the outside? Those are my favorite!
I was SO happy when we got Haribo in the US outside of Disney World. Trolli's sour worms are great, but the rest I don't care for. If you get the chance, Twizzlers have a lemonade gel filled version that comes out during summer months that is amazing!
I actually enjoy the Trolli TV commercials. Great product !
My taste buds may not be all that similar to yours considering your remarks on a lot of the candies, however, I have a few recommendations. First, you should give peach rings a try. They're not super popular and I can't eat too many in one sitting, but they have to be one of my favorite candies. Second, there are Malaysian milk melon candies and those are definitely worth a try. Finally, I think you should look further into ginger candies cuz they never disappoint in my opinion. Love the channel and thanks for making these videos!!!!!
Spicy candy are definitely underrated. A couple years ago there were spicy skittles and I was legit addicted to them.
as far as Katjes goes, I'm not sure if they're still made, but they had a sour cassis gummy for a while, which were sort of in a middle ground texturally, while having super nice flavour. Haven't been able to find any since a couple years ago, though :(
Where do you live? Cuz here in germany they are everywhere
I'm a big fan of gummies that are almost petrified. I just love super stiff and chewy gummies. I can only speak for United States gummies (though I have had some German and Japanese gummies that I got at World Market), but Haribo Gummy Bears are still my favorite. I'll often leave a bag open to stale up a little bit. I also love Haribo's Twin Snakes. They are two differently-flavored snake-shaped gummies that are somewhat sour. I also love sour Skittles (though I wouldn't really call them gummies).
Twin snakes are the best!
I can't believe you really got gummies from 12 timezones away but not *one* single Fini candy in sight 💀
The trolli sour worms are just edible heaven. I always get weak when I see them.
I miss those Haribo wheels. Used to be able to buy cola flavoured ones but without warning they disappeared from shelves and haven't been seen since. You really should try some of the Allen's offerings from Australia. They've done some awesome things over the last few years.
I'm sad that you never followed through and made your fantasy flavor gummies. I was looking forward to seeing your creativity!
Gerade hab ich mir gedacht: Ein neues Video von Andong wäre jetzt super. Ich geh auf meine Abos und auf einmal ist wirklich eines da!
Here in States Haribo Makes a Sour Bat around this time of year released in a bag and they are my all time favorite gummy Candy. Not to sour but definitely present. Superbly balanced and mini so the good chew is present but not teeth destroying. Gummy/Fruit candy is my all time favorite and I hope one day you do find them.
I wonder if I can get them here in UK for the kids!
My preferences have lined up exactly with yours, and I think you would have enjoyed the Sour Patch Watermelons more than the Kids (flavor wise). Korea also has some pretty good gummies!
Those watermelon ones were responsible for so many cavities I had as a kid, they’re too good
The Sour Patch Kids by Maynards and The Sour Patch Kids is actually not from The United States of America 🇺🇸 and not from Canada 🇨🇦, but The Sour Patch Kids by Maynards and The Sour Patch Kids is actually and original from The United Kingdom 🇬🇧, UK, Great Britain, Stamford Hill in Hackney, London, England 🏴🇬🇧 my friends 😁😃😃😊😁😎😊👍🏻👍🏻
Woah! That's a lot of Candy. Or as we say in Australia, lollies.
Great gummy Bear video, the stretchieness of them looked exactly as Aldi's Bears.
By the end of the video I was feeling like I ate way too much gummy bears, just from watching Andong.
PS: I love haribo berries :D
Lach Gummis!!! They are my winner! One of my favourite treats I discovered when living in Germany!
"Liquorice tastes like sh*t" If you get tons of dislikes on this video, they are all from scandinavia 😂
Andongs face in the haribo section be looking like vladslick bartender in some of his tasting videos 😂😂
pretty soon you should make an andong conglomerate
When I was a kid we were buying them from drug stores, because vitamins 🙃
Early 2000's were weird
After I have seen all of the for me unknowen Editions of Haribo I definitly have to do some online Shopping right now 😅
If you ever find them, try a package of Pectin Eggs. They're not gummies but they are related. I haven't seen them or had them in years but they were the only kind of candy in this category that my grandmother would get us.
Andong, I don’t know if you celebrate Halloween, but collecting all the uneaten gummy candies and giving them out for kids trick or treat would make you quite popular with the local kids and save your teeth!
his crew is gonna have candy for the entire year... or maybe the next year as well
Hey, are you planning to make another Soup Season?
If yes, could I interest you in checking Out the Mongolian Black Tea Soup or Banshtai Tsai as it is known locally.
Als Norddeutscher fühle ich mich persöhnlich vom Lakritz hate angegriffen XD
10:21 Aber da können deutschsprachige Länder zustimmen 👍
@@vistaxx Auf jeden Fall😂
Oh man I love those Glühwürmchen - when I lived in Germany, I always kept them on hand!
Fun Fact for the international viewers. Hitschies (the ropes) had recently a renaming of their brand. Until a few year ago their name was Hitschler. You can see why this was kind of a problem :D
But it was always a running gag for the kids in front of the candy shelfs.
Haribo and Kasugai compete with each other in my brain. I always have gummies in my candy jar.
In US as a kid there was a stringy type with chocolate flavor. It was good.
One thing I always loved going to Germany other than the kinder chocolate of course was wein gelee. Could you make a video making your own and then what you would use it for? Because honestly I never know what to use it with other than maybe a cheese platter
My absolute favorite is rowntrees fruit gums. They come in two variety's. I love both and I have a feeling you would too.
They have perfect chew and flavour
From Argentina here, I highly suggest you tried a few products from the Mogul brand, they're so so good
I love the saure Pommes variety of Haribo, though I feel you can only get those at gas stations
I ate berry candies as a kid, I'm talking about 50 years ago. They were sold loose and the merchant would weight them and put them in a paper bag for you.
You forgot the best German gummies, the ones you get at the pharmacy, the taste on them is amazing!
i LOVE the Trolli Eyes you can get on Halloween 🤑
The "laugh gummies" have a green apple sour variety that is one of the best sour gummies I've tasted.
Those Trolli sour worms look WILDLY different in texture to the ones we have in the U.S. When you stretched that worm and when you bit into it it had DRASTICALLY more resistance than the Trolli worms I know and love. I don't think I would like them nearly as much if they were that tough. If you did that to the Trolli here it would be one clean pull/bite and it would be torn entirely in half.
They had a formula change not long ago due to one ingredient (TiO2) being forbidden in Europe (I think it causes cancer) :) it was the ingredient which made the worms this bright, whitish, neon colours…I kind of miss the original look…
Let's be honest, most gummybears (at least from HARIBO) have the texture of window putty...
I never tried eating that. I hope you havent either
My favorite US gummy is airheads xtreme bites. I’m not sure it’s worth your time or effort, but the regular strawberry twizlers are definitely my preferred variety. Twizlers nibs are probably my favorite for texture, and they have a whole lot of other specialty flavors. Central America and South America have tons of great gummies if you can get your hands on them!
I never understood why Twizzlers Pull & Peel is a worse flavor and texture than the regular Twizzlers.
I was wondering why Hi-Chew wasn't on here as so much talk about chewiness of the candies, but then it occurred to me, I don't think Hi-Chew is a gummy, but that led me to wonder, what is the difference between a chewy candy like a Charleston Chew and a gummy candy like Haribo? Well typically gelatin but seeing as non-gelatin gummies exist, not necessarily. I can think of certain characteristics that differentiate them, but then there's plenty of exceptions too, and I think it would make an interesting video to differentiate them.
Everyone knows liquorice candy is the best candy. 😝
It is. Clearly this is where Andong is more like Anwrong.
as a person who's lived in the US all my life I've always heard the reason we do bags of candy inside boxes is to make the crinkly sound muffled, because they're meant for movie theaters. Some of my freinds would even dump the bag into the box to muffle the noise more. If nothing else it's a happy accident that it is that way.
Or at least that's the myth I grew up with lol
My favorite gummy candy is Fruit Slices and I can't find anyone selling them now. They were my dad's favorite too, my kids love them. They came in lots of colors and flavors. Some of my favorites were grapefruit and watermelon
*pulls out Twizzlers*
"oh no"
Seriously Andong, no british wine gums? The chewiness is off the charts!
I love liquorice, but not the one Haribo makes. For some reason it tastes awful. What I love the most are no-brand liquorice sticks that were possible to buy at fairs or at some event stalls (and quite rarely even in some stores). I'm able to eat dozens of these and they have perfect both flavour and texture.
In Germany, the brand Veganz has a sour gummy candy called "Sour Sticks" (there are two flavors in the bag: grapefruit and peach). And it's the best sour gummy candy I've ever had, vegan or not. It's worth finding. I typically find it at bio stores in Berlin like Denns or Biomarkt. But have occasionally seen it at Lidl and Edeka as well. Totally worth trying!
How do they compare to Katjes Wunderland (the unicorn ones)?
I have found my favorite gummies from of all places 7-11. It's the 7-11 branded 12 oz (huge!) Bag of "sour (not rly)" triple variety gummies rings. The three best flavors, apple peach and watermelon. I cannot stay away. Sooooooooo good.
also missing out on the various Nimm 2 gummies, which have probably the best contender for yogurt gummies, as well as one of the better sour ones.
Nimm2 gummies are called Śmiejżelki (laugh gummies) in Poland. And they are my favourite.
maybe you could make different coatings for your gummies, like a sour one and a spicy one
The green tropi frutti things are my favorite of all the haribo stuff
the TJ_BB beat in the background, love it
Soo, even though you don't like them. Where did you get the jelly babies (what supermarket)?? I can't find thrm in Germany... Obviously you can order them online, but it would be more practical to buy them in person.
If you brand some gummies, I'd like to see your take on spicey and sour gummy. For spicey flavor: tamarind pulp for hot or chamoy for sweet. For powder: Tajin for spicy/sour or Miguelito for mild/sweet.
