Holy cow

Sorry for the lack of indoor photos, but this trip was unexpected and a camera was not readily available. That being said- where did I go? The official Haribo shop of Bonn. For those who don't know, Haribo candies are primarily made in Bonn. Walking into the shop was like walking into Willy Wonka's Factory. The number of people in the store went from 20 to 100 in 10 minutes due to the after work crowd. There was candy of every sort, and chocolate- from Lindt, Ritter, and more! One section of the store was devoted to kid rides, the sort that you would find outside a grocery store. Another corner was devoted to Haribo memorabilia, such as puzzles, backpacks, tin containers etc. The center aisle had bins upon bins of varying candy that you can mix in a bag and is weighed by the kilogram, everyone was swarming this area. I would have gotten some candy from there, except, it's cold and flu season and some of the small kids were pulling out candy using their hands (eeeewwwww). Surrounding this aisle is the bags upon bags of the varying candy. My bounty was only 30 euro, but holy mackerel! The Haribo stuff will go to work and friends :) The chocolate, well, I managed to buy 34 bars of Ritter chocolate of varying sorts. We'll see how (or if) that gets divided up. Enjoy the photos!
