A Confectionery Mash-Up
Brand crossovers are usually the territory of fashion and gaming, but this concept brings the idea squarely into the sweet aisle. The mockup proposes a partnership between two of the biggest names in non-chocolate confectionery: Haribo and Skittles. This isn’t just a co-branding exercise; it’s a suggestion that the products themselves would share a bag.
The two brands occupy very different spaces. Haribo, a German family-owned company, is the undisputed leader in gummy sweets—its core identity is built on the soft, chewy texture of Goldbears, Starmix rings, and Tangfastics cherries. Skittles, owned by the American conglomerate Mars Wrigley, is defined by its unique format: small, lentil-shaped chews with a crisp sugar shell. A mixed bag would present a genuine textural contrast, putting soft gummies alongside hard-shelled candies. Such a collaboration between two fierce competitors would be a remarkable event in the industry.
The Tropical Flavour Profile
The choice of flavour, ‘Tropics’, is a knowing one. While Haribo has produced tropical variants in the past, Skittles Tropical is a long-established product line in its own right, with flavours like pineapple, passionfruit, and tropical strawberry. Grounding the concept in an existing Skittles variant makes the idea feel more plausible than a completely invented flavour.
The pack design itself merges the two brands’ visual identities. It uses the familiar yellow Haribo share bag format, complete with the red banner and dancing Goldbear mascot. But the product window reveals a mix of classic Haribo shapes and colourful Skittles, while the Skittles logo and its signature rainbow arc are given equal prominence. It’s a design that suggests a true, balanced partnership between the two.
What the real range looks like
Haribo’s current UK range is built around its classic share bags like Starmix, Supermix, Tangfastics, and Goldbears. Newer additions include Nostalgix and Fruitilicious. A flavour-led limited edition like ‘Tropics’ would be an interesting addition, sitting alongside the brand’s sour ‘Zing’ products such as Balla Bites and Rainbow Strips.
