The subject of the best Haribo is divisive. It can end friendships. Cause family feuds.
But what we can probably all agree on is that its not gummy bears. Which is unfortunate, because bags of Haribo are brimming with them
New research from Magnet has found that the much-maligned edible teddy makes up 38% of an average bag of Haribo – thats almost twice as many as any other variety.
No wonder were always left fighting over our favourites.

The cola bottles may not fare the worst in terms of figures, but its certainly the sweet a lot of us would like to see more of.
The study found that theres a one in five chance of picking out a ring, a 16% chance of getting a heart and just a 14% chance of choosing a cola bottle. Outrageous.

An average bag contains 22 gummy bears, with the only other sweet coming close being the rings at 11 per bag. Cola bottles average at just 8 per pack, and
