Wrong bussi in A

Hello there,

i hope the title of this entry didn't confuse you. I am talking about cream filled gummies that look like this. While being on vacations - yes, visiting friends - in Germany in 2007, i discovered a new Haribo product called Jogi Bussi. Weird name, but being friends with all things Haribo i tried it. And really liked it.
Supposedly it was a new product, consisting of three different things. Deliciously put together, with the cream filling being the new idea. Well, actually it's a yoghurt filling, hence the name. I read later that it even won some candy-related prize. Apparently they have that in Germany =)

So far, so good. In the year after that, they tried to follow-up on their success with a new variation called Fruity Bussi. Basically the same, but instead of the yoghurt filling it had a kind-of jelly filling. I don't like that one at all. Really, not my thing. Yuck!

Now, until recently they were selling both kind of bussi only in Germany. But today i found out they have already brought one of the two to Austria: you guessed right, just my luck, now here we have Fruity Bussi on sale. But no Jogi Bussi! Who needs that sickly-sweet Fruity Bussi. I want Jogi Bussi!

Well, anyways, eating too much sweets only makes you obese, so thank you Haribo marketing experts, one less temptation for me in Austrian supermarkets. Nevermind the teasing.

And to you, my dear readers: if you think blogging about candy is lame, well, at least i'm not the one reading it ;-)

Cheers
CGA

ps: German "Bussi" translates to kiss. What were you thinking?
