A question about Jelly babies

[TonyEnjoyD]

Don't get me wrong, I like them - but, erm, not that much!!

Crunchy Jelly Babies anyone?

Apparently they're a vital source of nutrition when you're traipsing about the Universe everywhere (and when), saving people and suchlike .

That's just plain murder. At least when eaten it's quick and far less painless.

Now I know why I didn't go to slurry Uni, and it was nothing to do with poor grades after all.

I hear these are a good source of fast acting energy while riding but they come in quite a large bag so whats the recommended dose of jelly babies . Also do you bite the head off first and then the rest or is there another method .
Finally , what do you do with the green ones ? Is it bad form to drop them at the side of the road when you pull a green one out?

I just stuff them in my mouth, maybe 2, maybe 3, maybe 4 or 5 if I can manage it

Why such discrimination against green jelly babies? If people don't want them, send them to me and I will take care of them

Always ask for 'boy' jelly babies. You get a bit extra!

I wonder when this page was done? The cyclist 'quote' seems almost prophetic .

Has to be Bassetts and eaten by the handful.

Haribo jelly babies are tangier though.

Should we set up a Jelly Babby Exchange Bank where people can swap out their unliked colours with others of differing views

 

[thegravestoneman]

I was given a bag of Aldi JBs and I preferred them to Bassetts although they were a bit "squeaky" I always try to avoid Haribo products whenever possible although I know several people employed by the place.

Would actually like a little pouch that sits on the cross bar/handle bars for said sweeties as reaching around for rear jersey pocket is a sticky pain! (Jelly tots especially!!) and if you have a back pack on its even worse!
