The gummy-bears and the other sweets from this company got their name from their producer: Hans Riegel, who was born in Bonn, so the name's origin comes from the beginning of the words:
Hans Riegel, Bonn.
The famous brand has different slogans in many languages. In English it is Kids and grown-ups love it so – the happy world of Haribo, the original version in German means: Haribo makes children happy – and adults too.
Haribo can't be translated into Roumanian or another languages, which makes it easy to remember but creates an advantage because it can't be associated with anything else... It has no connotations. This name makes the product unique.
