HARIBO has introduced its 'Football Mix,' a limited-edition gummy treat released to coincide with the start of the football season.
This collection marks HARIBO's first-ever football-themed offering, featuring six new gummy shapes paired with the classic fruity flavors that have made the brand popular, including 'Pineapple,' 'Strawberry,' 'Raspberry,' 'Lemon,' 'Orange,' and 'Apple.'

The Football Mix includes gummies shaped like iconic football-related items, such as a jersey, helmet, cleat, trophy, and football. These shapes, "combined with HARIBO's signature chewy texture, make this mix a fitting treat for football enthusiasts of all ages; whether for lifelong fans or those new to the excitement of the sport," HARIBO Football Mix aims to capture the spirit of the game.
