The creator of the gummy bear has died in Germany.Copied from article
Hans Riegel, son of the founder of Germany's Haribo confectionery and much-loved gummy bears, died Tuesday from heart failure. He was 90.
German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said Riegel had made Haribo such a global brand that "wherever I traveled in recent years, the gummy bears had arrived long before me."
Haribo, short for Hans Riegel Bonn, came to epitomize Germany's highly successful Mittelstand -- small, actively managed firms that make up the backbone of the economy.
Fruit-flavored gummy bears were originally called dancing bears, inspired by the performing brown bears that once appeared at circuses. The fierce expression on their jelly faces was replaced with a smile in a 2007 makeover.
"I work because it makes me happy, and I have no reason to deny myself that happiness," Riegel said in a interview in 2010.
In July it became known that he had a brain tumor and it had to be operated.
Riegel underwent a successful operation earlier this year to remove a brain tumour and his death came unexpectedly.
Haribo gave Germany its most famous advertising slogan, promising to make kids and adults happy. Sachets of its sweets are ubiquitous: doctors keep them on hand to placate crying children and hotels place them on pillows to treat guests.
