What is the best way to eat them?
Bite their heads off first so you can't hear them screaming?
bite their legs off so they can't run away?
or pop them in whole and they get their own back as you choke on them?

Such things can keep a girl awake at night!
 
What do you do with the yukky green ones? eat them with another one or throw them away.....
 
I like the green ones. As I say, on 2.2 any colour will do:D

And I eat them whole. Nibbling bits off is a non-D affectation.😉

Hardcore Mike!

My type 2 mum is a very dainty eater, she couldn't get a jelly baby in whole!
:D
 
OH says he eats three at a time, whole

But of course he is lying through his teeth because the one no-no in our house is MY jelly babies - that is on pain of death.

How on earth is one supposed to survive if someone has eaten all the jb’s?
 
:D:D:D As a non jelly baby girl: don’t like them! Puking emoji! I find this entire thread hilariously funny!😛😱:D😉

Maybe I should point out that no jellybabies were harmed in the making of this thread! :D

I wouldn't like to start a selfie competition for who can get the most JB's in their mouth at once for fear of choking hazards and it's not a great selfie subject either! 😱:D

The version I know and used to teach to a class I taught - and they really enjoyed singing it, predates Ozzy O by many years.

Nobody likes me, everybody hates me,
Think I’ll go eat worms.
Big fat juicy ones, wee skinny skooshie ones,
See how they wiggle and squirm.


Bite off their heads suck out the juice,
Throw the skins away
Everybody wonders how I thrive
On worms three times a day.

ahhh I had quite forgotten the second verse!
 
Green are as good as any when needed
I do find a few half JBs in my box by the bed, so in the night I obviously
don’t take such good care of the fellows.

I had forgotten all about that rhyme. Thanks for the reminder.
 
LOL at the worms - by which I assess that certain folk on here are children of the late 40s/50s despite not admitting to it on their forum profiles!

We both only knew the first verse anyway.

ALL jelly babies are equal in my book - I'm not colour prejudiced with anything (or anybody) - unless is sickly pink or puce.

Taught this at brownies, lots of years ago, but a few different words
 
There's an easy answer about what to do with green jelly babies, send them to me! If happily trade you the red ones.
 
I used to love jelly babies, but now not as keen. I bought a packet at local shop and didn’t realise till I opened them to fill up my emergency supply boxes that they were cheapy (but no cheaper) with lots of white powdery coating (not sure if it’s icing sugar) total yuk, butdo the trick and as a mean fifer won’t throw them away.

Like Jenny, not prejudiced but not so keen on green ones, but make sure I put one green in each box so I don’t get left with all green
