A Chewy Mint Crossover
Two of the most recognisable names in British confectionery appear to collide in this design for a Haribo Polo Mints share bag. The concept places the chewy sweet giant firmly in the territory of the iconic mint with the hole. The pack design borrows the familiar green, white, and blue livery of a standard Polo packet, but reworks it into Haribo’s sharing bag format, complete with the gold-rimmed window showing the product inside.
The sweets themselves are imagined as chewy rings, a direct translation of the Polo’s form into Haribo’s signature texture. It’s a simple, effective idea. The branding on the pack, ‘Real Mix Innovation Editions’, suggests this would be a standalone experiment, a deliberate step outside the company’s usual lane. Unlike the original hard-boiled mint, this would be a gummy sweet, creating a product that doesn’t currently exist from either brand.
The Fruit-Based Establishment
A mint-flavoured Haribo product would represent a significant strategic shift. The brand’s UK identity is built almost entirely on fruit, sour-fruit, and cola flavours. The core sharing bag range is a testament to this: Starmix, Tangfastics, Supermix, and Goldbears are the established pillars of the lineup, none of which stray from that fruity template. Even newer additions stick to the formula, with Fruitilicious offering reduced-sugar fruit jellies and Nostalgix recreating retro fruit-flavoured sweets.
When Haribo does innovate, it’s typically by adding texture or intensity to the existing flavour profile. The ‘Zing’ sub-brand, for instance, adds a sour coating to products like Rainbow Strips and Balla Bites, but the underlying flavours remain squarely in the fruit camp. The only major product in the current range to sit outside this world is Chamallows. A chewy mint would therefore be a true outlier, the first of its kind and a direct challenge to the brand’s own successful formula.
What the real range looks like
The current Haribo sharing bag lineup is dominated by fruit and sour flavours, with core products like Starmix, Tangfastics, Supermix, and Goldbears leading the way. A chewy mint variant based on Polo Mints would be a complete outlier, sitting apart from established ranges like Jelly Babies, Fruitilicious, and the ‘Zing’ sub-brand.
