Believe it or not there are some weird people on this forum who like the green JBs.
🙄
My definition of a "really bad hypo" is one which has to be treated with green JBs because that is all that are left.
@Northerner wrote a great poem on the subject
Ghastly Green Jelly Babies
It cannot be so far away,
When dawns that dreadful, fateful day
As, reaching to treat my hypo shocks,
I find just green ones in the box!
Oh, tell me Mr Basset please
Why waste your time producing these?
Tart on tongue, and jealous hue,
An aberration! Shame on you!
For lusty red, beguiling black
I could consume those by the sack!
Bright orange, sunny yellow too –
I’d even accept a baleful blue!
But green brings foaming at the mouth,
One eye looks North, the other South,
Gripped by a kind of emerald rabies,
The Dark Lord of the Jelly Babies!
