I first saw Haribo Ginger-Lemon Gummis at the Sweets and Snacks Expo back in 2012. I got to taste a sample then, but they didn’t have any that I could take with me, so I wasn’t able to review them then.
Since then, I’d been keeping an eye out for them in the wild. A few weeks ago, I finally found them at Cost Plus World Market for only $1.89!

What do they look like, and more importantly how do they taste?
The yellow, vaguely egg-shaped gummies were sugar sand covered and had the springy, bouncy Haribo chew that I love. On the first bite, they were slightly tart, I think because there was sour powder mixed in with that sugar sand.
The gummis began with a tart yet sweet lemon flavor before taking on the bite of ginger root. I liked that the ginger flavor was noticeably sharp but not painful.
Its flavor lingered in the finish, eased by the sweetness of the gummi. I found these gummis to be pleasantly addictive, with their well-balanced flavors and enjoyable texture. An OMG.
If my review isn’t enough for you, Cybele gave these her highest rating over on Candy Blog.
