They are the best gummy bears. Seems like a fine reward for a cancelled check.

It wasn’t cancelled, it was « crossed ». In Europe that means it can only be paid to the person or entity mentioned on the check, i e., it can’t be endorsed over to someone else. So only Haribo could cash the check.
I agree they had no legal obligation to pay him anything, but a nice gesture might have been to send him a case of the stuff. It would have made good publicity’ too.

It could have been a lifetime supply though.

I agree, but monetizing someone's misfortune is so...

Gold coins bears?

Giro transaction. I never received or wrote a check in my life.

Are they not the only ones? If someone handed my a non Haribo gummy, I’d think they were drugging me.

There are a lot of different brands of gummy bears.

It was a cancelled check... NO value, except for security.
He did right, they did more than obligated.
