    3 Stars Haribo's Sack of Cherries Review with images 08/09/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good Variety

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Smell of Chemicals!

    Well, I was thinking what else I could write an opinion about when I saw a half-finished packet of Haribo looking at me, but this isn't just any old pack of Haribo. Oh no, this is Tangfastic Sour Mix. You're going to be eaten - and fast - I thought to myself… There's only one problem. The pack is half finished because my delightful wife has been munching on them, probably leaving all the nasty flavours! Well, I'll give it a try, anyway. FIRST GLANCE Unlike the normal Haribo packets that are red or blue, this time the packet is orange and says HARIBO right across the top, just like every other ... more

    4 Stars Too Sour For Some? Review with images 02/03/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great, sugarboost, delicious, low in fat and calories.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages High in sugar, keep you awake, price

    All kids love sugar, right? Espesically young kids, and especially sugar sweets brimming full of E numbers and all things bad for you. I, am not a young child, 14 actually, however I do have a love for sugary sweets. So do my little cousins- unfortinatly. So obviously on a recent "trip" to see them, I was quite certain I was going to come into contact with at least one type of sugary, hyper-provoking sweet. I arrived at my auntie and uncles house just after lunch time, and I was greeted by the kids, getting flattened as I walked through the door- I was in for a night of it- and this was only ... more

    4 Stars Haribo Tangfastics - dental mayhem in a packet. Review with images 15/09/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Strong, tasty, chewy decadence.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages They make you feel sick and your teeth fall out.

    Sometimes there are things in life that hurt. Take childbirth for example - that looked jolly painful when my wife was having our two children but the apparently excruciating process was worth it because they're lovely. Haribo Tangfastics are very similar. I knew my two temporary crowns wouldn't be able to survive a whole packet but nevertheless I insisted on tearing the kitchen apart to find where my wife had hidden them. I was right in my risk assessment. The temporary crowns fell to pieces one after another and now I am in agony. But was it worth it? Of course it was. Not all drinks or ... more

    5 Stars Fan-tang-tastic! 13/03/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages chewy and tasty, not a duff sweet in the bag

    Disadvantages Disadvantages will be too sweet for some

    When I was a child every Saturday morning my mother would drag my sister and I into town. As a reward for behaving ourselves (and maybe just because it was Saturday) we would get to visit the pic ‘n’ mix. My mother watched us like a hawk as we picked out the sugary crap we wanted. Invariably my sister always got more but not by much. We tended to go for different things. I went for teeth and fried eggs, she went for cola bottles and giant strawberries. But we both went for astro belts. These were strips of strawberry lace stuff coated in sour sugar. And we were both mad for them. The years ... more

    5 Stars Tange's Tangy Tangfastics! 23/09/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Tasty, tangy, fizzy, fruity...need I go on? Oh, and the name looks a bit like Tange!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Probably not good for me in the quantities that I would like to consume them in!

    How could someone called Tange not like Tangfastics? Well, I tried them and I really DO like them! After Starmix, Tangfastics are the second most popular Haribo sweet, according to the Haribo Web-site top 20 (www.haribo.com). They come in the number 2 spot, before the Kids Super Mix. Tangfastics are a jelly sweets covered in a fine coating of sugar ~ despite this they have a sour taste. You will find them in a typical bright "Haribo" packet ~ orange with white, yellow and green lettering, along with the little dark haired Haribo Boy grinning at you. The packet has a clear section on the lower ... more

    5 Stars What's this sticky stuff on my tongue? 06/08/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages They're sweets - need I say more?!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The bags aren't big enough!

    Mmmmmm, sweeeeets. Let’s face it, we are all big kids at heart and we all express it in different ways. For some, it’s playing childish games. For others, it’s trips to the seaside “because we came here when I was a child”. For me, it’s kids sweets. (I don’t mean taking sweets from kids; I’ve stopped that now after I got beaten up by a group of eight year olds for trying to steal their gobstoppers.) In my opinion, you can take your Mars bars and Twixes and shove them right up your jumper. I mean penny chews, cola bottles, flying saucers, black jacks (what happened to those?) and anything by ... more

    5 Stars How to suck a cherry, Chicken stylee 25/06/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Different taste to normal 'sweet' sweets

    Disadvantages Disadvantages calories, sore mouth, sugar content.

    Sweeties this time, not something I would normally bother reviewing but these are worth it. I am in fact taking about Haribo Tangfastic Sour mix. Now for some people the idea of a sweet tasting sour is a bit offputting, but they aren't really sour like a bottle of old milk but in a lip smacking kind of way, very yummy! Packet first, colourful plastic jobby, in an orangy sort of colour with the little Haribo Kiddie (Hari Boy) on the front. The middle section is see through showing you exactly what you get for your money. This comes in handy for me as there is one particular jelly in there I ... more

    5 Stars Sugar Rush 14/07/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages High quality, distinct flavour

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not suitable for vegitarians

    When I was a student Haribo were on 2for1 special offer in the union shop for most of the four years that I was there. As a consequence I consider myself to be quite an expert on Haribo having sampled many different varieties of Haribo jelly sweeties over the years. Haribo come in whole range of flavours from Star mix to Goldenbears to buildaburger. If you want to know more their top twenty flavours are on their website www.haribo.com. There is also a vegi friendly range available with no gelatine (see http://www.exportcourier.co.uk/finlaysfo​ods/) My favourite Haribo have always been ... more

    5 Stars Not just for kids (Haribo Tangfastics Sour Mix) 20/07/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Nice sour flavor

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Loads of sugar

    I have a massive sweet tooth and one day whilst doing my shopping I fancied treating myself so off to the sweet section, after having a good look a bag of Haribo Tangfastics caught my eye and as they where on offer (only £1 for a 175g bag) I decided to give them a go. After I got home and packed the shopping away I opened the bag and dove in. The bag has various jelly shaped sweets inside (Crocodiles, cherries, coke bottles and a dummy) the sweets are soft jellies with a sugary type coating which gives them a sour flavor. These are not the sourest sweets I have had (I tend to find the one you ... more

    4 Stars Haribo at its best 06/05/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A different, tasty snack available in a variety of sizes

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Unsurprisingly unhealthly, especially for your teeth

    For starters: Haribo Tangfastics remain unchallenged in the market of palette pleasing sweets that are both gummy and fizzy. There are many plain gummy sweets, Haribo themselves are responsible for a lot of them, but when you're not in the mood for such a snack, they can lack a certain, oomph, shall we say, making them somewhat similar to eating packing peanuts. And there are also fizzy sweets around. Usually, they fall into one of two categories: Utterly unfizzy: the sweets have a coating that has a very slight fizz or, worst still, no fizz whatsoever, merely what seems to be granulated sugar ... more
