I am finishing a bag of jelly babies that I got for easter.
A very rare delicacy for those not lucky enough to live in Britain ;)
We all remember how Tom Baker's character loved his Jelly Babies, yes?

You don't get jelly babies in North America?

I'm about as far away from the UK as you can get, yet I could go down to about 3 different stores right now and pick 3 or 4 different brands of jelly babies from the shelves.


What about pineapple lumps?

We have to import our jelly babies. I have to bring them back along with Smarties.

Waiting for the start of the new season of Dr. Who.

We have smarties here, but I have never even heard of Jelly Babies, what are they? (Are they like jelly beans?)

Jelly Belly has a factory in CA. It's just up the road from my sons home.

Costco carries them, at least in the US.

Not here in California. I had to have a UK friend send me some last year so I could try them.

Jelly Bellies are not the same thing as Jelly Babies. They're very different...

No, they aren't jelly beans. They're more like a sugar coated gummi bear kinda thing.
