Haribo is from Bonn, not Solingen! The name states as much, in its quintessentially german Consonant-and-vowel aliteration technique: (Ha)ns (Ri)egel (Bo)nn. Much like Rimowa (Ri)chard (Mo)rszeck (Wa)hrenzeichen, or Leica (Lei)tz (Ca)mera.

Thanks! I guess my Solingen friends didn't know either. They just took me to the Haribo factory in Solingen and told me that's where it's from (-_-);
