Haribo Goldbears

Hans Riegel of Bonn started Haribo in 1920, and the Goldbear gummy (launched 1922) is the best-selling gummy candy on Earth. The gas station bag — specifically the 5-ounce peg bag hanging near the register — is a road trip institution. Five flavors (pineapple, lemon, orange, raspberry, strawberry), each with a distinct shape that nobody actually differentiates while eating them. Haribo produces 100 million Goldbears per day. The German factory alone uses 25,000 tons of sugar annually. They're the candy you buy "for the car" and finish before the highway on-ramp.
