To not want black jelly babies in my pack?

It just creates far too big a dilema! Black jelly babies are horrible, they just are. But if I don't eat them then I will have a load of black minging babies left and end up eating them anyway as you can't throw good sweets away, thus ending a jelly baby binge on a yucky taste. But if I eat them all first then by the time I get to the good ones I've eaten too much sugar and sickly stuff and the nice ones don't quite give the same satisfying jelly baby sweet sugar hit.

Perhaps I ponder this too much

Should I switch to haribo instead? But which kind? If star mix then that bring up the egg dilema, and sour mix just gets too sugary and sour......

Yes I'm bored, yes I have essays to write, yes I want something to do other than bite my finger nails, I have to have nice nails by the time I get married!

Nonononono the black ones ae the yummiest. It's the green ones that need to be ditched.

Perhaps we should set up a JB exchange?

The worst were the black sweets in the sportsmix sweets although I think they have rectified this horrible error!

Oh now Cali I love red ones. Not as much as I love red gummy bears though, red gummy bears are fab. I'm with mosschops on black sweets, they are all vile, but at least with packs of fruit pastils there are not as many to eat.

I only want black and green ones. Only.

I bought a bag yesterday (there is a cutesy [which is odd, in the context of my workplace, which is anticutesy] trad here that clients are met by giant bowls of jelly babies, & you can also buy little batches of them if you have a particularly dull document to read) purely because it was disproportionately black & green.

So I had to suffer through the yellow - yuck - red - urrgh - and PINK - headache in squidge format - before I could indulge properly. And I did have a headache for ages and I know it was those PINK ones.

you need to find a friend to share them with.

I used to hate the black ones, yet loved the green ones.

My bestest mate hated green, loved black.

So, we were happy jelly baby munchers together ]

People who like green ones best are wrong in the head. Red ones rock. (do agree about the eggs in haribo however)
