Haribo Sharing Tub - 600g

Haribo is part of the furniture of a British childhood: the corner shop counter, the coach on a school trip, the party bag you checked before you had even said thank you. The tub is the grown-up version of all that, bought for sleepovers, birthdays and long Saturday afternoons in front of the telly.

People in Canada go looking for it because they want the one they remember, the UK Haribo from home. Some want it for their own kids, so the party table looks the way theirs did. Some just want to hand a fistful to a Canadian friend and watch them understand.

It is a big tub, a proper 600g of sweets, which sounds like plenty until you count the hands reaching in. The lid goes back on, in theory. Keep it in a cool, dry cupboard, tip it into bowls for a party, or leave it out and let nature take its course.

It sits happily next to the rest of the British sweet aisle: a bag of crisps, a bottle of squash, a few chocolate bars for anyone who does not do chewy. Film night, sorted.
