Allow me to share with you one of my current and long-lasting obsessions. Though most days I am a pretty healthy eater, my weakness is sweets and I absolutely love sour candy. A friend from work named Lindsay introduced me to Haribo Fizzy Cola Gummy Candy about seven years ago. We worked in downtown Seattle and would trek a couple of blocks to one of the few stores in all of Washington that sold these bad boys. At first I didn't buy the hype but oh did I become a believer. I can finish a bag of these in about 5 minutes flat.

If I'm not mistaken, Haribo is a originally a German confectioner, known for producing all types of gummy candy goodness. You may see some of their gummi bears and whatnot carried in your average grocery store. Unimpressive. The Fizzy Cola Gummies are by far their most superior product.

There is only one drugstore in Seattle that carries these and even then it's iffy. Yesterday however, I found them at Cost Plus World Market in the international foods section. Swoon! If you love sour candy, you will love these. Be sure to buy the fizzy ones though, not the regular ones. Also, Amazon.com sells them.
