    Are they full of smack or crack?

    I can’t walk past a packet on the shelf and once I have had one the whole pack disappears in 2 mins.

    Its must be something with the jelly babies – I am no glutton

    I can’t eat that many of them, they make me feel a bit sick. I don’t have that problem with any other sweets.

    They’re not often of the shelves but……. Haribo Jelly babies are the absolute business. And they come in a bigger bag.

    Simple sugars, cow foot gelatin, sulphite for preservative and artificial colours all finished off with a dusting of industrial grade starch as a mould release agent – what’s not to like 🙄

    I think it’s the same stuff they put in Tiger Bread.

    yup, love ’em. But once you start eating them on a ride you better make sure you have enough to get to the end as there’s no insulin spike like a jelly baby insulin spike. Incidentally, Tescos are often doing bogof or £1 a bag. I tend to stock up on masses of them & get funny looks at the checkout.

    At the speed they go from packet to mouth the differences are imperceptible to the human eye.

    God, I have something in common with TJ 😉

    It’s the heroin they dust them in.

    Moral quandary: is it wrong to accuse your Mrs of racism due to her refusing to eat the black ones?

    More colourist than racist. Or does that make her a hairdresser?

    It’s more likely that she’s eating enough black boys already, just behind your back.

    +1.
    800g of bread in one sitting is not good for you.

    TJ i am a specialist on jelly babies (well not really,but i love them 😀 i find that the ones you buy in packets (the rowntrees ones) are different from the ones (where the shopkeep weighs them out on the scales.they are bigger,and taste better!)i also have tried the morrisons own brand and whilst adequate,they do not in my humble opinion come close to the weighed out jelly babies (they are ambrosia 😯

    And they’re half price at Morrisons at the moment. 😀

    EDIT. Proper Bassetts ones, not own brand.
