AIBU to want to eat the whole bag of jelly babies?

I have eaten lunch. And earlier I had homemade biscuits with tea at work. So I am not hungry. But I want them.

Going to drop something off in town now, when I get back I will adhere by the MN jury's decision.

Eat the bag. One bag = one portion!!

missorinoco · 03/04/2009 14:44

what, you would leave some of them orphaned?
too cruel, must eat the whole bag.

YANBU!

Bite their heads off and savour their juicy little bodies.

Which reminds me, I have a bag in the fridge...........

No. Jellybabies are nasty. Get some allsorts instead.

With all those pwetty colours there must be some fruit in there somewhere so therefore they count as one of your five a day.

Ebb, the fridge? Why teh fridge? Do they need to be chilled? Or does it keep them in hibernation so they don't try to escape?

Sorry shineon, I don't have a bag of minstrels. But I do want some now

Cornsilk, I'm afraid that's the wrong answer, I don't like licquorice. It's too difficult to spell.

I think they do have fruit juice in them, actually.

Question answered, thanks everyone

One of my colleagues is diabetic and has been ordered by her doctor to always have a bag of jelly babies on her in case her blood sugar level drops...

although she's only supposed to eat two or three, apparently they contain enough sugar to keep your levels up for several hours!

I definitely couldn't be that restrained though...

Trillian jelly babies are soooo much nicer chilled.

KimiWantsAnEasterEgg · 03/04/2009 20:17

YABU we want some, pass them round

(none for me though as it is lent)

Jelly babies always make me feel sick - really sick, because I eat too many. The first 2 or 3 are fine, but they are just irrestistable, but they make me feel very ill.

buy the boy jelly babies. You get slightly more jelly.

ScottishMummy · 03/04/2009 20:29

lou33 · 03/04/2009 20:30

my friend crashed her car on the m25 a couple of days ago , and it was written off

the thing she was most upset about was losing her jelly babies all over the tarmac

biffandchip · 03/04/2009 22:01

Eat them. It's a no-brainer
