The German confectionary company teased the retro sweets on Instagram, describing them as 'squid, softer, and yummier' than before. The launch coincided with the New Year, with Haribo writing: 'We have a sweet surprise for you in 2025. 'At a time when everyone is looking to the past, we're looking to the future with an exciting new recipe.'.
It added: 'Each piece is the same shape and flavour, but the soft jelly texture makes them taste even yummier than you remember.'. Fans were quick to jump into the comments, declaring: 'We can't wait to try these!'. Although Haribo is yet to announce a release date, keen foodies have already spotted the snack for £1.25 (or £1.10 with a Nectar card) in Sainsbury's stores.

Everyone needs to try them.'.
Another agreed and said: 'I got some. They are delicious.'. A third could not contain their excitement for the pear drops in particular, commenting: 'Ooh, my husband will bloomin' love these.'. But one Haribo fan was let down having trekked five miles to his local Sainsbury's, only for them to be out of stock.
