Haribo


Hello,
Near our apartment (about a 5 minute drive) there is a interesting, fun and yummy land mark  called HARIBO museum, were we stock up on lollies every now and then with a little help from relatives (not mum and dad who tried to get rid of some L).   I think that we want to just skip around the museum and get to the lolly shop at the end were we can get lollies. HARIBO came from a man called Hans who made lollies in his laundry and his wife delivered them on bicycle.   Hans took two letters of his first name (HA) , two from his second (RI), and two from him hometown Bonn BO HARIBO. Sadly enough he died before his company got big so his sons took over his work for him.  At the end there is a lolly shop were you buy all the products but since they give you so many free samples throughout the museum we did not get a lot and if we had of been with Dad only then I’m sure that we would have got nothing but thanks to Mum, Pippi, Helen and kate we managed to get past Dad alright. Next to museum is a lolly factory, but sadly the do not give tours because they say that they are “working”  but if you drive past you will think that they make all their money from the museum or that Uzes (Haribo) has a lot  of public holidays.

Their motto is:
Haribo c’est beau la vie pour les grands et les petites  

 That Translates in to :
Haribo it is a good life for the big and the tinys.
