My only source of them was my family in Germany and Croatia... They'd ship them to me so it was a huge treat when I got them. I've tried looking for local stores for a loooong time now and haven't had any luck, well, that is until today! Ive ordered them online in the past, but they are expensive... The store had them for under $2 a bag... I bought every bag they had... and will continue to do so until I die of sugar poisoning! hahah... Okay, I wont go overboard, but I had to share my happiness!




PS: Of all the stores, it was at a Gas Station in Emeryville, right off Powell and Christie! That place carries a lot of rare candies and drinks! FTW!
Buddy got a pack of them before hiking in pt reyes hehehe, they were amazing to say the least. Hungry from hiking combined with the fact I was totally , yeah.
SO we get em at the market in marin right before 580/101 (its like main groccery but not a safeway)

This thread took me back to when I was about 7 or 8 and I got in trouble from a teacher at school because I gave her one of these and she thought I'd played a prank on her. It's hard to describe how tart and sour they are and the fizzing in your mouth. Certainly shocked my teacher. Happy times

Hey, is this the 76 gas station? I might have to stop by on my way home to try these after reading all the raving reviews.

Haribo's the best gummi candy ever.
Es macht Kinder froh und Erwachsene ebenso

I usually get mine from Walgreen's. Each store will usually carry the standard Gold Bears and Gummi Colas, but many will have other stuff like the fizzy colas, pastas, cherrys, snakes, etc.

Cool! The only time I found them was when I was on vacation in Hawaii! Paradise and fizzy cola, great combo.
