Default Goodies from Germany

I splurged a bit and bought a wheel from the 2016 Audi LeMans R18 Prototype.

Since I was paying for the weight of the box, I had my contact/friend in Germany fill it up with Haribo (since he lives near Bonn and works at the 'ring). Funny thing is the gummy ended up weighing almost as much as the wheel!

First shot of candy outside of the wheel packaging is what I thought was in the box, then as I finished unpacking the wheel I found the second picture's worth packed in the bottom, haha.

Yes, a coffee table is the plan. I want to turn my old 914 seats into low lounge chairs with this as a table for hanging out in the garage.

Haribo. :drool:

On a vacay to Paris a few years ago, I discovered they had Orangina Haribos, which aren't available in the US (unless you want to pay $10 a package). The rest of the trip was finding and buying them up.

The factory store in Bonn is insane. I was there with our German friend last summer. Needless to say our bags were full on the way back.
