Haribo Starmix Cracker Tube - 120g

Starmix is the bag that settles arguments in a British corner shop. It is a bit of everything Haribo does, so nobody in the car has to compromise, and it has been a fixture of school trips, cinema trips and long motorway drives for as long as most people can remember.

People in Canada go looking for it by name because the name is the memory. A British Christmas has its small fixed points, and for plenty of families one of them is a tube of Haribo turning up somewhere between the stocking and the pudding.

The cracker tube holds 120g, which is enough to share and not quite enough to share happily. It slips into a stocking without a fight and sits neatly beside a place setting. Keep it somewhere cool and dry, and somewhere high if there are small hands about.

Haribo makes plenty more besides: Tangfastics for the sour crowd, Goldbears for the purists. The tube also sits nicely alongside a UK selection box or a tin of chocolates when you are putting together a Christmas parcel for someone who misses home.
