About this deal

The sweets were invented in 1864 by an Austrian immigrant working at Fryers of Lancashire, and were originally marketed as "Unclaimed Babies". [1] [4] By 1918 they were produced by Bassett's in Sheffield as "Peace Babies", to mark the end of World War I. [1] Bassett's themselves have supported the "Peace Babies" name. [5] Production was suspended during World War II due to wartime shortages. The product was relaunched as "Jelly Babies" in 1953. [1] Jelly Babies are a type of soft sugar jelly sweets in the shape of plump babies, sold in a variety of colours. They were first manufactured in Lancashire, England, in the nineteenth century. [1] Their popularity waned before being revived by Bassett's of Sheffield in Yorkshire, who began mass-producing Jelly Babies (initially sold as "Peace Babies") in 1918. [1] History [ edit ]

Sometimes the simplest of gifts are the best,without costing a fortune. I am delighted. Thank You. 👍 The jellies only look vaguely like pensioners. Which is probably a good thing, as the thought of eating granny-shaped sweets is a bit weird, but then you could say the same of jelly babies, I guess. They're coated in starch powder, which according to wikipedia is "...left over from the manufacturing process where it is used to aid release from the mould". Nothing like a starch-coated pensioner!
