Unfair Jelly Babies

Today I opened a packet of Jelly babies and there was one lime and one purple jelly baby - the rest were orange lemon and raspberry. I feel cheated!

The same with Skittles - I want more purple ones not all the lemon and oranges.

Why do companies do this or an I just bloody unlucky!

It's strange that there is such an imbalance. The same is true of purple fruit pastels. I think it's because the ingredients are more expensive so they make less and pad the packets out with the crap ones

Write a complaint letter, my friend did this and got vouchers for loads of free packets 🤣
