Overview

  • The limited edition launched on August 15 and is sold only in Haribo shops and the Ritter Sport Schokowelten in Berlin and Waldenbruch, with no online sales in summer per the company.
  • Production was intentionally capped at 100,000 bars, and about half were sold within six days, according to the companies.
  • The bar blends Ritter Sport milk chocolate with Haribo Pico-Balla gummy pieces at 18 percent, promoted as a sweet fusion of two formats.
  • Social media feedback is sharply divided, with some users expressing curiosity to try it and others rejecting the chocolate–gummy combination.
  • Commenters cite a €2.49 price as too high and report early resale listings on eBay due to limited availability.
