Have you ever heard of Haribo gummy bears? They are my db's second love. (I didn't move into first until the 6 month of our relationship.) Db's first call home came recently and he expressed to me how much he missed me. And then THEY were brought up. Is it sad that sometimes I get jealous of the way he :drool over them?

All kidding aside, I told him that they would melt but he doesn't care. So what I'm thinking now is if I separate them into flavors, repackage them and then wrap each package seperatly with cling wrap, and then aluminum foil, I should be good, right?

Once again, I realize that it's crazy but what can I say?

I hadn't heard of them until a class I was teaching had an exchange student. He had the "real" ones- which are hard compared to the US version of them.

I just did a search for them- Amazon.com has them. I wonder if they can ship them to him directly & save you the pain of packing & being worried about melting.

I have seen them in grocery stores here, I didn't realize they were hard to find. The commissary here has them, and I'm pretty sure I have seen them at Walmart and other places too.
My son loves gummy bears, so we have them in the house from time to time. In fact, now I am kind of craving them. :lol

I love those things...lol and you put way more effort into them then I would.

yum i love them! we always got them in sweden before u could find them easily here theres a ton of other products they make (gummi raspberries) that I ADORE! sending them to him direct is prolly a good idea:P

they are the best gummy bears

Haribo is the only brand of gummi I'll eat :yes

I'll have to tell him that y'all share his adiction. :teehee

They are my DH's FAVORITE! :) I have a package of them waiting for when he gets home. And, if you do end up going to all that trouble, I hope he knows how lucky he is. ;)

There's a HUGE difference between the ones they sell here in the States and the REAl German ones. ;) Try www.german-deli.com for the real kind. They are the only kind I'll eat. The American ones taste nasty IMO. lol

I (L) gummy bears!

LOL! I love those gummies!!! They're quite common to find in Hawaii.

LOL I moved here and got on a HUGE gummy bear kick. I bought a 5lb bag of them at the BX (and proceeded to eat half of it alone, LOL)

I'd say do it. You only live once.

:yes I agree

I know how you feel. my husband is addicted to gummy bears to :wowsers while he was in the sandbox my grandma found a 5 LB bag of the Black Forest gummy bears and shipped it to him. (they didnt last long) He just left to go to korea for a year and the funny thing is my grandma sent down 5 bags of the gummy bears and i had 2 bags hid (yes i had to hide them):jump4joy i put 1 in his bag as a surprise, 1 in a carepackage-he has a friend already there, and that still leaves me with 25LBS of gummy bears to send him along w/ 2 2LB bags of m&ms. thank goodness for flat rate boxes :candy
