Haribo Gummi Candy, Frogs, 5-Pound Bag


Gummi green Frogs with white bellies--waiting to hop into your mouth! Packed in 5-pound bags for lots of amphibious fun. Approximately 93 pieces per pound.


Almost too much of a good thing
These were the first "non-bear" gummi I tried from Haribo.

The quality, price, flavor = exceptional. Even my reluctant DH went crazy for these little froggies. The kids 4 and 3, also loved these little guys.

The only minor downfall is that after 4 pounds you start to look at them and get a little "flavored out" - so I suggest sharing the joy cause our family of 4 just got a little apple weary. (but finished the bag anyway LOL!)

Green hoppy frogs
One of my medical assistants always talks kids into giving a urine sample by telling them that we have to check to see if there are any green hoppy frogs in their urine. Well, as you can imagine, many a reluctant preschooler is willing to pee in a cup with that in mind. How wonderful to show them that there are green hoppy frogs! We just put a couple in a (clean) Dixie cup and return it to the children. I wish I could download the expressions on their faces when they see these little creatures! Oh, by the way, 5 lb bag lasted over 6 months in my solo rural pediatric office- that is a lot of urine samples! Many siblings insists on giving a sample also just for a taste of these gummies!

Frog Flavor
A friend recently got me hooked on these gummy frogs. I was curious about the flavor so I e-mailed Haribo directly! They did reply... The green gummy is apple, and the white marshmallow is passion fruit. The price here is great too!
