Somebody bought a bag of Jelly Tots into my old workplace, and I was astonished by the absolutely concentrated sweetness of them – even by the standards of confectionary.

I could almost feel the enamel of my teeth dissolving as I chewed one. They must be like taking crack or something to a two year olds’ constitution.

Whereas Jelly Babies are as nice as they ever seemed to be!

Yes! Jelly babies hold up well into adulthood.

More findings from the “Rowntree’s Pick’n’Mix” bag:

– Fruit Gums are a lot softer than they used to be (thankfully for my teeth)

– You can definitely taste the “real fruit juice” in Fruit Pastilles, but unfortunately it makes them taste slightly off.

Of course I’m only eating them because the baby’s too young for them, you understand.

Tooty Frooties are ACE. I still buy them about once a fortnight.

Oh MAN I used to LOVE Tooty Frooties! I might have to buy a pack and see if I still like them – just for SCIENCE you understand.

Tootie Frooties need to be sucked for a while to make them soft enough. It is a well-known rookie error to try crushing them between your teeth; bits of them can shear off if you do that. Mind you, if you think Jelly Tots are bizarrely sweet, I tried a packet of Rolos recently. Christ alive, there’s no taste but burned sugar.

Well, they are supposed to be caramel!

I remember the old days of fruit gums, where they appeared to be pre-moulded to fit snugly into your molar and never, ever be shifted.

I think they were finally discontinued in 2019. I seem to remember thinking they were OK.
