You know the egg Haribo sweets? People are suggesting they’re something completely different

A man has sparked a debate online over Haribo sweets.

It all started when he posted to Facebook saying that he just realised the egg shaped Haribo sweets were actually UFOs. You know the ones, they're the best sweets of the Starmix. Scottish Patter confused everyone when he suggested they were UFOs. He made the connection because they are called Starmix as a whole so now thinks the sweets are related to space. One person even backed him up adding, "Egg = UFO, Cola bottles = spaceship, ring = saturn rings, bear = astronaut in his outfit." People were quick to correct him and it began to escalate. His post has now received over 22,000 comments with people arguing over this new theory. But rest assured, we've found the answer. They are, in fact, eggs. The Haribo site states:

"HARIBO Starmix contains the ever popular favourite shapes such as the lemon flavoured Fried Eggs and raspberry flavoured Heart Throbs. There are also the iconic Cola Bottles and strawberry, lemon and orange flavoured Bears. As well as the playful Rings in raspberry & pineapple, orange & lemon and raspberry & lemon flavours."

They have always been eggs and always will be eggs.
