A Classic Format
Haribo’s global success is built on a simple formula: identifiable shapes in a familiar gummy format. From the iconic Goldbears to the specific combination of rings, eggs, and hearts that make up Starmix, the brand is defined by its moulded forms. A new concept for a ‘Dinomix’ bag fits this strategy perfectly. It is not a flavour experiment or a high-concept brand crossover. It is simply a bag of dinosaur and egg-shaped jellies, an idea that feels instantly familiar.
This is a conservative pitch for a product line extension. Dinosaurs are a perennially popular theme, especially for children’s sweets, making a dedicated bag seem like an obvious gap in the current range. The mockup shows a standard share bag format, the kind that dominates the confectionery aisle. There’s no new texture, no sour coating, just a straightforward new theme that requires no explanation.
Finding a Space on the Shelf
The UK share bag market is Haribo’s heartland. The core range is extensive, anchored by major sellers like Starmix, Supermix, and Tangfastics. Alongside these are the foundational Goldbears and more specific, shape-led bags such as the Halloween-adjacent Bone Shakers. This is precisely where Dinomix would sit. It’s not a reinvention. It would be a direct competitor to Bone Shakers for the ‘themed character mix’ slot.
The brand also pursues flavour innovation, but that seems to be a separate development track. Products like Rainbow Strips Zing and Balla Bites Zing are about adding a sharp, sour sugar coating to an existing chewy format. Dinomix doesn’t intersect with that line of thinking at all. It’s pure shape and theme, reinforcing the brand’s most traditional pillar.
The Broader Context
While a bag of dinosaurs feels like a safe bet, Haribo’s UK strategy isn’t static. The company regularly uses larger formats, like the Starmix and Tangfastics Sweets Tubs, for parties and seasonal events. It also ventures into co-branded products, with the Ritter Sport Haribo bar being a notable recent example of the logo appearing in a completely different supermarket aisle. That move took the brand into solid chocolate.
Seasonal editions are also a key part of the calendar, with items like the Haribo Advent Calendar and Elf Surprises appearing for Christmas. A new, mainstream share bag would complement these more ambitious projects. It would function as an evergreen product, strengthening the core portfolio while the limited editions and collaborations generate temporary interest. The Dinomix concept is so logical, it’s a surprise it doesn’t already exist.
What the real range looks like
Haribo’s current UK share bag range includes classics like Starmix, Supermix, and Goldbears, alongside themed mixes such as Bone Shakers. The Dinomix concept would be a shape-based addition to this lineup, distinct from flavour-led products like Rainbow Strips Zing.

Frequently asked questions
- What sweets are in the Haribo Dinomix?
- The concept shows a mix of gummy dinosaur shapes and small ‘dino egg’ sweets. This follows Haribo’s tradition of creating themed mixes based on specific shapes, similar to the hearts, rings, and bears in Starmix.
- Is this part of the Tangfastics or Starmix range?
- Dinomix is presented as a standalone product, much like Supermix or Bone Shakers. It doesn’t appear to be a sour Tangfastics variant or a new version of Starmix.
- Is Haribo Dinomix a real product?
- No. The Haribo Dinomix is a Snackfish — a mockup created by the design page UK Snack Attack. It is a fictional concept and is not for sale anywhere.
