The Starmix Assortment
Every bag of Haribo Starmix contains the same five sweets. It’s a fixed and famous lineup: the Gummy Bear, the Ring, the Cola Bottle, the Heart, and the Fried Egg. For decades, this has been the non-negotiable formula. You buy the mix, you get the whole assortment. Most people have a favourite, and a corresponding sweet that gets left until the end.
For a significant portion of the population, the prize is the foam. The soft, bouncy underside of the Heart and the Fried Egg sets them apart from the pure gummy of the Bear, Ring and Bottle. This preference is the entire basis for a new mockup which proposes a bag containing only those two sweets. The caption that accompanied the image called it ‘The ultimate dream bag’. It is a simple concept. Starmix, but with the chewy bits removed.
A Break From The Mix
Haribo’s UK strategy for its sharing bags is built on established assortments. The core range includes the flagship Starmix, its sour cousin Tangfastics, the varied Supermix, and the classic Goldbears. Newer additions tend to be entirely new collections, such as the recent Haribo Nostalgix, which features sweet-shop shapes like cornucopia and ice cream cones. Innovation also comes from texture variations across different lines—the ‘Zing’ branding, for instance, adds a sour coating to products like Rainbow Strips and Balla Bites.
What the brand doesn’t typically do is deconstruct its most famous products. You cannot buy a bag of just the Tangfastics crocodiles, or just the Supermix jelly men. The mix is the product. This concept breaks that rule entirely. It isolates two components from a classic selection and presents them as a standalone item. It would be a new direction. It’s not a new mix, but an un-mix.
What the real range looks like
The current Haribo sharing bag range in the UK focuses on complete assortments like Starmix, Tangfastics, Supermix, and Nostalgix. A ‘Foam Only’ edition would be a new type of product for the brand, sitting apart from established mixes by isolating specific sweets rather than offering a pre-set variety.
