I dont like the orange and yellow but then I dont like citrus fruit too much either 
Have we worked out the rules for a 'jelly baby tossing game' yet?

No.
How about if you squished them between thumb and forefinger, with the feet against the finger and the head against the thumb, then you allowed them to ping outwards at a given target? If they land on feet you get some points, or on the head, or back or front.
By the way I see they've got a baby bonnie one out now.

I was not being cruel, I was just responding to the suggestion of the jelly baby tossing game.

well..........it could be quite a good game but don't like the idea of squishing them before the toss

Well either chucking or throwing jelly babes may be acceptable!! Lets give them 3 trys before squishing them before or after the chuck!!

Perhaps we could try lying them on the back of the hand and flicking them with the forefinger?

tsarina Posted Jun 8, 2004

Hi LW 
Was listening to the radio on the way home from work this morning and there's a vicar in Wales who has a collection of Jelly Baby memorabilia!! Apparently, he has 15 mugs and various other bits and pieces. Other useful or useless, depending on your point of view, bits of information, was that there used to be 6 jelly babies and now there's only 5! Whether that's colours or body shapes I have no idea! Also, in the 90's, they changed the shape. So, if someone out there has a pre 90's Jelly Baby hanging around.........it could be worth a fortune
Bet that's made you day hasn't it
