That was mean, it was a black one

Actually I only eat Yellow & Orange jelly babies. My Dad said that the black ones were made of coal and the red ones were made of squashed beetles. The green ones go in the 'green sweet bag' and they get offered to passengers when we are on a car journey

Well he was right http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cochineal

Jelly snake, jelly baby.

Whenever I've eaten a large number of JBs I've enjoyed a rapid evacuation in the bathroom next morning; presumably thanks to the gelatine. This begs the question: could they be used as suppositories for constipation? The answer is interesting philosophically because it must be yes, but why not enjoy eating them and wait another 12 hours?

Jelly babies fit very nicely into a water bottle and are better for you than water . Probably

Allsorts are fine if you are after a PB as don't they give most people the trots?

Because of that very reason I am not fond of most red sweets
Bring back Orange Spangles, I say.

My name is Night Train and I have a Haribo Jelly Baby addiction.
I buy the 285g bags from Poundland and prefer them to the Bassets ones as the 'sweetness' is different and they don't hurt my teeth so much. All the colours are fair game and are consumed in pairs (they get lonely on their own) at all proper stops during a ride, that is map reading, water stops, sight seeing, cafes, repairs, tops of hills while waiting for @Arch, and bottoms of hills while waiting for @Arch, but not at traffic lights unless coinciding with any of the above.

Preferably Old English Spangles

I love the red ones..... now I find out an ingredient is squished bugs I may need therapy.

Is it weird to prefer the yellow and green ones ?

In that case I'm weird too but that's not a revelation

For those of a certain age, they also do "Jelly-atrics"
