Haribo gummy bear lovers were horrified to discover the true taste of the green: "Call the police" - voila! Food

Paxomate for Haribo gummy bears (HARIBO USA)

The fans of the "Haribo" gummy bears were shocked when they found out what the true taste of the green gummy bear is - you will be shocked too.

It all started with a post that resurfaced on Reddit showing a Haribo bag with all the flavors of the colorful teddy bears written on it.

Indeed, as it is easy to relate - the orange one tastes like an orange, the yellow one is a lemon, the red one is raspberry and the white one is pineapple.

It was the green color that managed to surprise the rubber lovers.

While most of us will associate the green teddy bear with the taste of a green apple, lime or maybe even watermelon - you will surely be surprised to find out that it actually tastes like... strawberry.

Yes, strawberry!

"I've been alive for 20 years and I only just found out that the Haribo green gummy bear is actually strawberry flavored," tweeted one of the confused fans and another added: "Am I the only one who didn't know that the Haribo green gummy bear is strawberry and not lime flavored?!".

Another shocked user wrote: "I'm calling the police."

One who had already discovered the mistake wrote: "This fact has been haunting my mind for years."

We feel cheated.
