Well, my Haribo candy arrived today. 12-5oz. bags of Pico-Ballas and a 5 pound bag of peach rings. Two things about that. I've been calling them peach rings, but, they are actually not peach rings, but just peach candies. There is a rather notable difference. Here are images of peach rings and just peaches:

Haribo actually does not make a peach ring. I hope I did not mislead any of you. Still though, Haribo peaches are absolutely divine. The second thing, was that my peach gummy candies did not look like the above picture. At least not until I spent 10 minutes pulling the salvageable ones apart. I called Amazon directly and was connected with a nice man with a strong but not too strong Indian accent. (Luckily, I re-watched Paul Blart: Mall Cop the other night, so I was brushed up a bit on Indian accents.) He happily refunded my purchase. Amazon does not accept returns so my option was a replacement or a refund and I keep or dispose of the candy. Since the peaches are edible (though in somewhat larger pieces for the most part), I decided I would just take the refund and eat what I could of them, rather than get another 5 pounds.
The reason I got the peaches in the first place was because I have been craving Pico-Ballas for a long time. These are pico-ballas:
They are an absolutely addicting little candy. You can eat an entire bag before you realize it when you start feeling sick! I LOVE Pico-Ballas. Anyway, so I wanted some of them and the best price was to get 12 bags (one bag would be like $1.50 plus $5 shipping and handling). 12 bags was something like $12. The shipping made it $20, but, if I spent $5 more, I got free shipping on them plus what else I bought. So, I found the next best Haribo candy they had. 5 pounds of peach candy. Grand total of $27.88 with free shipping (a $10 value). I'm not entirely sure if the Indian fella refunded just the peaches or the entire order, but it sounded like he did the whole thing, which makes it even sweeter. Either way, I'm a happy man with one sweet tooth.
