I hate jelly babies

Jelly bears are much nicer

I like the green ones best, and i eat them feet first saving the head (as as its the biggest bit) till last YUM!!

The jelly babies we get here are just vaguely-human-shaped-blobs-of-gelatin-with-flavour, but the red ones taste best, and I always eat the head first, to ease its pain.

And I don't know too much about the ruckus with nestle, but I heard it had something to do with animal testing. (What inhumane product they might have been testing I couldn't imagine - they could have found plenty of human test subjects for their chocolate!)

Mmmcandy!

I always seem to eat the head first, and i like the red ones best of all.
I wouldn't like to taste the chocolate ones though, for i prefer chocolate on it's own especially cadbury's.
But since this subject was brought up, i never really ever thought about how people ate them or how their shape was made either.

Are the chocolate ones actually /made/ out of chocolate? Or are they just chocolate-flavoured?

The purple ones are the nicest..an aunt of mine used to put them in tomato soup!

Jelly babies producing babies? there's an interesting biological phenomenon! Surely babies aren't mature enough to reproduce?

They start young these days,

your telling me Is one colour more promiscuous than another do you think?

I enjoy licking them all over, delving my tongue into their crevices, then give them a good suck, and finally masticate them.

Tsarina, yes one colour is more promiscous than another, the yellow ones, you always see more of them than any other colour and they are definately not as nice as the red ones.

Jelly Babies, for your life, Liquid is after you.

This is why Nestle is evil...

'"They blatently violate the World Health Organization's International code of Breastmilk Substitutes. They 'donate' formula to new mothers in third world countries. The formula lasts just long enough for their milk to dry up. "

Not to mention that water used to make up baby formula in developing countries is often contaminated, resulting in high infant mortality... or the fact that Nestle doesn't label it's baby formula in the correct language (usually).


"Dr Raj Anand, in New Internationalist states that there is a 14 times higher chance of babies dying from diarrhea when on milk substitutes, over those fed on breast milk."

Normal service is now resumed.....

You know you may be onto something about the yellow ones being more promiscious. I have noticd that there is sometimes more to the bag than the others. Should we then, take this as an example they they breed more?

If only I had read that post before
I've written a whole novel to explain to cl
Thank you, Leopardskinfynn, great to know there's always one who knows the right things
LW, no idea

havent had jelly babies in years but green 1's are definately best, rip the head off and chomp chomp chomp...lol oh and the yellow 1's you give away to your friends yuck! well after youve finished with the box, dont want them eating the green 1's but there is an order, green 1st, then black, then red..chocolate 1's? is that new?

green 1s are like snot no thanks you keep them .oh hello vampy

So are the green ones the by product of the yellow ones?

I really don't like the purple/black ones, they don't taste as nice as the others

Oh I don't know. I don't mind the black ones.

I just don't like blackcurants. I'm the same with Skittles, I don't like the purple ones of them either
