The Chase fans shocked to learn green Haribo gummy bears are actually Strawberry flavoured

Who knew the green sweets were actually strawberry flavoured?

| Updated:

Last night’s episode of The Chase had viewers adding packets of sweets to their weekly shopping list after a question about Haribo Starmix left them “gobsmacked”.

“You learn something new every day,” one viewer said, after discovering that the green gummy bears in the popular sweet mix are in fact strawberry flavoured.

It was a question which left contestant Camille and chaser Mark “The Beast” Labbett confused too.

Host Bradley Walsh posed the question, asking: “What flavour are the green gummy bears in a regular pack of Haribo Starmix? A) Apple B) Lemon C) Strawberry.”

“It’s got to be, green apple,” a confident Camille answered.

“Yeah, got to be, by all accounts,” Bradley quipped, and asked: “Do you eat sweets?”

When the correct answer to the question turned out to be strawberry, a stunned Camille revealed: “Well that’s a turn up for the books.”

Convinced the chaser had nailed it, Bradley switched to The Beast for his answer, only to discover he’d gone for the obvious choice too.

“In my pre-diabetic days I’d have nailed that in a heartbeat,” he said. “I’m not allowed them any more.”

Clever Camille did end up going through to the final chase, and joined her three teammates to beat The Beast and walk away with a share of £20,000.

Viewers took to Twitter in their droves to comment on the quiz. One said: “I didn’t know the green gummy bears in Haribo mix tasted of strawberry! You learn something new every day.”

Another added: “The green gummy bears in @OfficialHARIBO are strawberry????!!! I had no idea! I shall have to buy 3 packets to test this!”

A third seemed more upset than most and contested the correct answer. They said: “I’m sorry but since when have green gummy bears in Haribo Starmix been strawberry flavoured??? They’re apple flavour surely?”
