Rears with Ears

Gummy candy at our local grocery store, Haribo's "A** mit Ohren".

A sweeter post after those of the last couple of days, just in time for lent, too.

Despite the fact that one of our local markets has the candy isle right at the entrance, it took us years to notice the "rears with ears" gummy candy from the original gummy bear maker Haribo.

The German name of these non-bear gummies is also a highly insulting idiom, probably best translated as "d***head".

As the photo on their web site shows, it comes in large tubs for that serious sugar rush.

We have not been able to find out yet, whether it is okay to distribute these in a normal German workplace. The maker website specifically mentions carnival as the preferred season for this gummy product, but we have seen it at the store year round.
