I know these shape of sweets as dew drops, but I'm curious to know what you call them, if anything.

Jelly tots

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 29/06/2019 21:45

Yes, dew drops. Probably my favourite sweets in dolly mixture!

I think I’d call them soft gums?
Jelly tots are much smaller IMO

American hard gums if they are the superglue type consistency ones.

DryHeave · 29/06/2019 21:46

Depends. I’d say hard gums. Unless they’re squishy, obvs.

Iamthewombat · 29/06/2019 21:47

Dew drops. You can get them out of jars in the better type of sweetie shop.

AppleKatie · 29/06/2019 21:47

Jelly tots/jelly sweets

PineappleSeahorse · 29/06/2019 21:48

Yes, those ones you get in Dolly Mixtures and they're definitely the best.

Sorry photo didn’t attach

Those who call them American hard gums, these are the little softer ones you get in Dolly Mixtures, not the big hard ones. I know that the pic doesn't make it clear. Do you still call them American hardgums? Genuine question, I'm trying to settle a light hearted debate with a friend.

I've always known them as gum drops.

PeoniesarePink · 29/06/2019 21:55

I've always thought they were midget gems?

Prestia · 29/06/2019 21:56

No, American hard gums must be chewy enough to glue your teeth together.

Jube jubes

DC90 · 29/06/2019 21:56

Jelly tots

Iamthewombat · 29/06/2019 21:58

Midget gems NEVER have sugar on them. NEVER.

BusySittingDown · 29/06/2019 21:58

Gum drops

Fatted · 29/06/2019 21:58

Jelly tots or fruit pastels

heymammy · 29/06/2019 21:58

Same as Dora - jube jubes, because that's what my mum calls them!

Brazenhussy0 · 29/06/2019 21:59
