Confectionery

What is a little older version of the jelly babies.

[Mamyalynne]

Jellytots

[Mamyalynne]

2 words sorry

Jelly Tots

[woofgang]

Is this for a quiz? Jelly babies definitely predate jelly tots in real life

[postman44]

Thank you Mamyalynne

[Jackdaw33]

Woofgang is correct, Jelly babies were around years earlier. Perhaps Jelly beans?

[Mamyalynne]

Older in the sense of babies can't walk, tots are toddlers.

[Jackdaw33]

Oh I see! Clever!

[Mamyalynne]

You're both correct as in the history of confectionery but I doubt that's what this is.

Have to put a different head on when quizzing.

There's more to the "jelly baby" than I thought ....

Yes there is 'Peace Babies'.

I don't really understand the concept of nibbling at confectionery. If God had meant me to nibble he would never have invented the shovel.

[Sam1960]

lol jno, creme eggs and walnut whips I sort of nibble, but the rest go straight down the hatch : ))

[Jackdaw33]

Talking of sweets reminds me that I haven't seen tubes of Rowntree's Fruit Gums around for years.

The grown up version of jelly babies- wine gums?

I allowed myself to buy Nestle Whips from Poundland at the weekend. Couldn't believe when I opened the package the "whips" were about the size of a thimble - maybe a little bit taller.

No nuts on top and none when you sucked the whip out.

Have I bought the wrong ones.

[Jackdaw33]

I don't think they make the old-fashioned walnut whips with the nut on the top anymore.

[jennyjoan]

Jackdaw - maybe the Covid doesn't allow it.

[Mamyalynne]

Walnut on top went 3 years ago.

[Mamyalynne]

Can't blame Covid for this move.

[Georgiesmum]

Does anyone remember when they were called Duncans walnut whip?
