h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I can't imagine people on the Bassetts factory going "you know, that pink one with the black bit in the middle" or "the tube with the white coconutty filling all the way down the centre"


So - have they got official names?

And if not, isn't it our duty to invent some

I've just thought of several but they'd all be d.

call the pink round flat ones "like a lady"?

This isn't going to be some dodgy reference to a certain James Bond girl is it?

The pink and blue one's I'm *sure* are called horsecakes ( or possiby not, my mind wanders on occasion)

the pink or blue bobbly aniseed ones have a name - but I cant remember it...plog, scog, spogs sounds kinda right.

Thank you Feisor

So they really don't have proper names? Oh come one! What are we waiting for!

Yes I thought the speckedly ones with no liquorice were called "spogs" too.

I think they do?

Jelly Babies do but forget their names

I think they do?

Jelly Babies do

Big heart is the caring one, his generosity is well known, he always wears red trainers and plays the saxaphone

He's so mischievous and ever so clumsy

Baby Bonny
She's the youngest and always crawling into trouble

Bubbles
She's the extrovert and always playful

Boofuls
He's never far from tears whether happy or sad

He's the leader of the Bassett's Jelly Babies

3 posts queued for moderation! How exciting!

I was going to suggest some brain-storming to kick us off, maybe around the black and white colour scheme.

"Zebra cube" for the big one?

"Nun's Roll" for the tube with white centre?

Strawberry Square/ orange square/ chocloate square seems a bit tame.

What else is black and white (and read all over...)

There are names for some, if not all of them, because Barratts sell some of them individually, but I'm buggered if I can remember what their names are, and a quick web search yesterday didn't get a result.

Hours later .... the postings are still hidden, but we have a brand new hidden one - probably telling us something completely irrelevant and off topic

So just ignore them.

It was meant as a comment for LS, because she said it was exciting, I was only trying to point out that it was rather boring.
