Gummy bears are a special treat, and some people can’t get enough of them. They may even have a favorite type of gummy bear, and Haribo makes some of the best.

There has also been some confusion over a particular color of gummy bear, but people are finally learning the truth.

When you eat a green gummy bear, you would expect it to taste like lime, watermelon, or perhaps a green apple. If you eat a green gummy bear from Haribo, you can expect it to taste like strawberry.

Many social media users started sharing the revelation and people can’t get over the truth.

After learning about the surprise flavor of the green gummy bear, people couldn’t seem to wrap their heads around it.

Some lamented that they have been eating these gummy bears for decades and are just now learning the flavor.

Another commenter said they were calling the police over the real flavor of green Haribo gummy bears.

Now that the truth is out there, we must learn to deal with it. It doesn’t change anything about the gummy bears; it just changes us, hopefully for the better.
