People are only just realising that the ‘key’ sweet in Haribo favourites is something else & admit they’re ‘unsettled’
PEOPLE have been left “unsettled” after making a shocking discovery about Haribo Tangfastics.
Emily had shared a video referring to the tangy sweet in the packet commonly referred to as a “key” shape.
However, she was quickly corrected by one viewer, who commented: “It’s a dummy – you fold the long part into the hole and it looks like a dummy.”
“I’m sorry you what now?” Emily said as she responded in another TikTok video.
“There I am thinking it’s a key!”
She then tried the manoeuvre the commenter had suggested – taking the long part of the “key” and threading it through the hole.
Once she’d done so, she realised that the person was right, and it actually looked just like a dummy.
“I’m shook!” she shouted.
“I’m actually shook.
“Oh my gosh, tell me I’m not the only person in the world that did not know that!”
Emily went on to add she’s scared she’ll be bombarded with other things she has misinterpreted from the Haribo bag.
“Next you’re gonna tell me that the cola bottle is actually like a Pepsi bottle or something,” she laughed.
“And the crocodile is an alligator, and the cherries will be grapes or something!”
“Honestly, I am shook!” she concluded.
“This is unsettling,” Emily added in the video caption.
And lots of people in the comments section admitted they were equally stunned by the dummy revelation.
“Nope. It’s a key. It will always be a key!” one insisted.
“I’m 30 I’ve always thought it was a key,” another said.
“I was today’s year old …… I never knew this !!!!!” a third admitted.
“Lol for years I’ve called them keys!” someone else added.
“I’m 45 and never knew that,” another wrote.
“38 here and always thought it was a key,” someone else agreed.
“I DID NOT know that, but I always wondered what these were!” another laughed.
However, others hit back at Emily’s video, questioning how people could think the sweet was anything but a dummy.
“A key?” one raged.
“Who even thinks that’s a key?
“And you don’t need to fold it!”
“Born in 85 and been doing this since the early 90s when I started eating them, nothing new lol,” another agreed.
“It literally looks like a dummy without the fold!” a third wrote.
“I’m sorry? Do people genuinely think they’re a key when you can literally buy them on their own under the name ‘gummy dummy’?” someone else asked.
