Haribo fans are only now realizing what the ‘Key’ sweet actually is

“What is this actually meant to be? Because for years and years and years, I’ve assumed it was a dummy, like a baby’s dummy,” explained @missemily. “Am I stupid? Because it just clicked that it’s a key. It’s definitely a key, right? Or is it a dummy? Or am I being the dummy and it’s something else?”

“It’s a key,” shared one confident user in the comment section. “I’ve always called it a dummy,” penned a second.

“It’s a dummy, you fold the long part into the whole and it looks like a dummy,” wrote a third user, who inspired a second clip by @missemily.

“I’m sorry, what now?” she starts in the clip where she’s seen folding the tip into hole, and then placing it in her mouth – like a dummy. “It looks like a dummy! I’m shook, I’m actually shook…I’m rethinking everything.”

‘Clearly not dummies’

Still, not all users were satisfied and some refused to accept the truth.

“Nope. It’s a key. It will always be a key,” shared one on TikTok, while another wrote, “I’m 30 I’ve always thought it was a key.”

Back on Reddit, one user declared, “I used to call them keys before I found out they were dummies.” A second, clearly caught in an identity crisis, wrote: “It was a key to me, but I know they’re apparently dummies. But they’re clearly not dummies.”
