Haribo

Hans Riegel

They say

don't they

that too many

sweets

are bad for you

But Hans

lived to be

ninety years

old

despite that

Much as

it would be

nice to see the

nutrition

Nazis proved wrong

I don’t suppose

you lived for

ninety years on

Tangfastics

and Starmix

I must admit to

being a bit

disappointed that your

name

was Hans Riegel

I think

Mr Haribo would

have been

miles

better as would

Harry Bo, or

Harry Bodacious, or

perhaps, just

perhaps

Harry Bo-Diddley

That’s if

double-barrelled names are

allowed in the

world

of whimsy

You coined the

slogan ‘Haribo

kids and adults

love

it so’

That must’ve

helped make your

confectionary a

leading

world brand
