I never eat sweets except when I’m studying something, and the last week I’ve been getting through half a pack of Haribo Tangfastics per day (and about as much toothpaste.) As gelatin-based sugar-coated sour -flavoured globules of nutritional nothingness made from a synthetic approximation of crushed cow bones go, they’re rather good.

However, the cola bottle shapes are the tangiest, and my most recent pack appears to have just 2 of them. The ankh shapes are a reasonable backup, but there are only 5 of those, too. So for much of the afternoon I’ll be subsisting on the heart shapes – or worse, the crocodiles which seem to have taken over the pack. Bleeah. They’re nowhere near as good. Haribo, bite me.
