    You do lighting for Linkin Park, and you got a sweet packet with Linkin Park written on it in front of you, and are posting an image of same with Linkin Park in the middle of the image. You still misspell the name.

          That’s what I’m thinking. Lincoln Park is a real place — I think it’s in Chicago? And it predates the band. The band is most likely named after it. So they changed the spelling. If you have an iPhone, the autocorrect is brutal. I’m not saying Android is better, but it doesn’t autocorrect iPhone to “advertise.” iPhone does that to Android. Have to tap it out like a caveman. (I use both. I’m good with both. I talk shit about both.)

      The bear (Goldbär = gold bear) is the mascot from the Brand (HARIBO = Hans Riegel Bonn), a German sweets company. They came up with the Goldbär because of the then competitor “Gummibären” (gummy bears). The bear is on most types of gummies the brand offers link to online shop if interested sometimes together with the liquorice-boy.

            I’ve a feeling gelatin is just cheaper because it’s a byproduct of the meat industry. We’re not killing animals just for the jelly, so they either put it in sweets or it goes in the bin.

              In this case it is. The alternative is that you and the other commenter actually think that everybody should have to pay more because you believe that gummies shouldn’t be made from gelatin.

      I don’t really like Haribo gummies anyway. Not a patch on Wine Gums or Fruit Pastilles.

      I was going to recommend Percy Pigs, but it turns out they’re also made by Katjes.

        If you can make a product with our without animals and it tastes the same, is it a bad thing to prefer the vegan option? I don’t tell anybody what to eat, if you like to eat meat I am fine with that.

          Does it taste the same? I’ve tried Katjes and I’m pretty sure it tastes different. I will of course agree with you that for two equivalent tasting products, it’s better to prefer the vegan option even as a meat eater.

            Tbh, as a vegetarian I haven’t eaten Haribo a lot in the last 10 years, rarely one of those small gift gold bear packages. I think they taste kind of boring, on the other hand they wake up childhood memories. The selection of Katjes is super large in Germany with a lot of variation. I like them a lot and don’t find them particularly better or worse than Haribo. If you find them I would say try them out!
