Haribo Happy Cola F!ZZ gummies were recalled in the Netherlands earlier this week over cannabis contamination. Authorities tested the gummies after people reported feeling sick and dizzy, and the company immediately recalled and pulled the affected products from store shelves. Although the brand is taking this recall seriously, people here in the States don’t seem to be too concerned about this particular health concern.

“Hear me out, I would 100% pay more for those…” commented one person on Delish’s Instagram post.
“You say contaminated. I say blessed,” commented another. “In other news, Haribo reports record earnings this quarter,” joked one person.
“What is the serial number so I can assist in the investigation,” one person asked. “I was wondering why I can’t just eat one lol,” another joked.
Comments on Facebook were equally amusing: “It is like getting the Wonka Golden Ticket!!!” exclaimed one fan.
“Runs to store to buy the whole stock,” wrote another. “Thanks for letting us know!! Edibles for a dollar or two!” one person exclaimed.
“Best marketing campaign ever,” one person summed up perfectly, even though the recall is, in fact, real. Luckily for the brand, people seem to be taking the news of the recall in stride, and some might even say, giving Haribo unusually *high* praise. Looks like there’s a market for a whole new demographic of customers…
Your move, Haribo.
