Haribo

In France there is a lolly brand called Haribo. It is originally German but it is also quite popular in France and Italy. Dad, Sean, Mum and I all drove to Uzes where the Haribo museum is. At the beginning of the museum there was a giant store where they were selling all the Haribo lollies! The store was so crowded, it was amazing and people were stocking up on bags and bags of lollies! My favourite lolly sort was the Sour Straps. A man at the front desk gave us some tokens. He said that we were to use them in the tasting room. He also gave us a couple of mini bags of lollies.

Hans Riegel was the inventor of Haribo. He lived in Bonn which explains why he called Haribo, Haribo. If you circle Ha, Ri and Bo, it makes, Haribo! The first sweet Haribo invented was the dancing bear, which later became the Goldbear.

There was a room with all the posters and old advertisement posters that Haribo used to use. My favourite poster was one which had a picture of a man with a strawberry on his nose!

There was another room with lots of little desks. On the desks there were some touch screens and a little hole to put your hand through. First you stuck your hand in the hole and felt a lolly, then you listened, I know weird huh? and then you smelt, and figured out which lolly it was.

The last room was the tasting room. You put you token in to the machine and it gave you four bags of a liquorice or strawberry candy. I chose liquorice. I tasted and the lollies were so yum! At the end we walked through the museum store again. All the lollies looked soo good.

Out in the parking lot of Haribo there was a mini fun park. Sean and I chose to go on this jumping castle. It had a big blow up lion that every minute it closed its mouth. It also had a platform a zebra, a lion and an elephant. We sat on the animals while the platform tipped back and forward. I also went on these mini go carts. I lapped the other girl two times and and only crashed once!
