Basset's Jelly Babies

Advantages: Tasty and chewy, don;t get stuck in your teeth
Disadvantages: Some may find too sweet

I am going to make a controversial statement now (ready?): war can be good. Of course I do not mean that war is good but rather war can bring about some good things. In the midst of all the death and dying medical advances can be made far quicker than they would have occurred in peacetime. Of course after a period of war comes the period when there is peace. During this period everyone is so happy and full of joy at the fact that it is peacetime ...
...things like there will never be another war. They also do various things to mark the peace. Governments declare holidays, new parks and things are opened and let’s not forget the food. So after the First World War Bassetts introduced a special sweet to celebrate peace. They called them Peace Babies. And indeed what better way to celebrate peace than chomp on a baby. A few years (and wars) later the Peace Babies became Jelly Babies which has to be ... Read review

Advantages: Good Fun and Great Flavours
Disadvantages: Lots of Icing Sugar and a bit messy

During a recent visit to a friends house I was offered a jelly baby which I devoured, followed pretty much it is fair to say by the rest of the packet. I did offer to replace all that I had scoffed but as usual my plan worked and my kind offer was declined. For you see I am a serial jelly baby scoffer but if the truth be told I have never actually bought a packet for myself, you see I just go around eating other peoples. It is not because I can't ...
...with the fact that these sweets are for kids and there's something a little bit taboo about a grown adult buying and eating a bag of babies. In the world of sweets and confectionaries and all things nice Jelly Babies are a good old fashioned success story. They were first introduced by Bassetts after the First World War under the name Peace Babies as a celebration to the end of the war before their name was changed to the Jelly Babies that we know ...

Advantages: taste nice, made with real fruit juice, can be bought from many shops
Disadvantages: leaves you thirst, unhealthy, can be expensive, the white powder leaves you dirty

I have to admit that these little jelly babies were the first jelly babies I ate in my life, of course followed by other random brands. These bassets jelly babies have always been sweets that I eat randomly I would possibly say a packet in six months because they are bad influence though they've got an innocent name and the packet is rather colourful mainly to attract you into buying them as they look lively from the outside. Of course bassets is ...
...than 70years now and they specialize in making all sorts of sweets, which some of them I don't fancy (wine gums etc). The company is rather popular and so are the jelly babies as more than a billion are made each year. I am most certain that I eat fifty of the jelly babies which is less than one percent so I am not that hooked up on them, though I would love to be. The little jelly babies are kind of sweet as they are small and all have a smile ... Read review

Advantages: Real fruit jelly characters.

...cheerful in appearance. With the Basset's in a bright red bubble above the name of Jelly Babies with the letters all featured in different primary colours. Beneath this there are three jolly Jelly Babies. 'Brilliant' is waving his arms at us while 'Boofuls' is crying and wiping his eye. The little yellow Jelly Baby, Bubbles, is in front waving with a wide smile,wearing a bow on her pony tail and large beads around her neck. There is a big green leaf ...
...---SUMMARY--- Where I think Basset's have been very clever is in their product image of this product. Also the fact that they have used bright primary colours on the packaging of the Jelly Babies making them cheerful and eye catching. They have also made the Jelly Babies boys and girls and given them delightful, individual characters. All of this very endearing to a child's mind; apart from the fact that they are actually completely delicious. ... Read review

...spilt all over my desk and the girl I work with has lifted a few, "Bugger off and buy yer own"………. Right let's see what we have here. Wee Green one, Black one, (or coloured one if I am being politically correct),Red one, Orange one and the wee Yellow one. My favourite ones are the red and green ones, and the one I hate is the orange one. Funny even when you offer them around you are always left with a bag of orange ones. They are covered with a ...
