Haribo celebrates 100th Birthday of Goldbears Gummies with limited edition offering
Haribo, inventor of the first-ever gummi bear, is kicking off 2022 by celebrating the 100th birthday of its original sweet treat, Goldbears. Created by Haribo founder Hans Riegel in 1922 and known for the iconic gold packaging, Haribo will mark the Goldbears birthday celebration with new innovations and surprises, including a limited edition mix of Goldbears with party hats, highly requested single-flavour bags, and a sweepstakes getaway to the sweetest summer hotspot: Myrtle Beach, S.C.
“Haribo is the original creator of the gummi bear, and we’re so excited to celebrate the 100th birthday of our iconic Goldbears in unique and meaningful ways here in the US, ” said Rick LaBerge, chief operating officer, Haribo of America, Inc. “We’ll be marking this momentous occasion throughout 2022, and we want consumers to join in on the fun with us all year long.”
New Gummies for every Celebration
Haribo will unveil several new varieties of Goldbears gummies for 2022, starting with a fun twist on the original Goldbears. For a limited-time only, the original Goldbears will include Blue-raspberry flavoured party hats. The new pops of flavour are designed to excite fans with a tasty, innovative addition.
Haribo will also release limited edition single-flavour varieties in Pineapple (clear) and Blue-Raspberry (blue). Fans of Goldbears have been asking for bags of just their favourite flavours, and for the Goldbears’ anniversary, Haribo is giving this gift back to fans who love them so. While Pineapple is already a massive fan-favourite, Blue-Raspberry is brand new to the flavour lineup of Goldbears. These limited edition flavours will be available throughout 2022, with one additional new flavour innovation scheduled to release later this year.
To continue the celebration, Haribo will also send four lucky Goldbears fans on a week-long vacation to Myrtle Beach, S.C., plus a year’s supply of Goldbears. This sweepstakes will also include hundreds of runner-up prizes, passes to the Carolina Country Music Festival, Haribo swag and other summer-themed prizes. Consumers can enter the sweepstakes now through in-store QR-Code displays or www.100yearsofgoldbears.com until 1 December 2022.
