Hans Riegel, the man behind Germany 's Haribo confectionery and much-loved gummy bears, has died aged 90 from heart failure, his office has said.
Riegel spent almost 70 years at the helm of Haribo, which was founded by his candymaker father in 1920. From a small firm struggling with the shortages of postwar Germany, he built it into a world-famous brand exporting to 100 countries.
Fruit-flavoured gummy bears were originally called dancing bears, inspired by the performing brown bears that once appeared at circuses and fetes. The fierce expression on their jelly faces was replaced with a smile in a 2007 makeover.
