The true "jelly-babies" don't taste of liquorice (excuse my British spelling).
They are similar to jelly-beans but without the hard-sugar coating. They're
all the same shape - small humanoid.

Frothy British magazine programs occasionally run "man/woman-in-the-street"
surveys along the lines "what colour do you prefer and do you bite off the
head or the legs first?" - and then attempt to draw flippant psychological
conclusions about (usually) the subject's amorous propensities.

Those of you living in Milwaukee can find the genuine jelly-baby at a shop
called "Bits of Britain", 1201 Russel Avenue (near Kinickinick).
