No, they're not the same thing!  Nothing is!  Jelly babies aren't even very
much like jelly beans or gummi-bears.  They're totally unique, and I'm addicted
to them.  They only have one shape, sort of like a stylized baby.

Actually, some helpful person (sorry I don't remember who) once gave me a
number for somewhere called The British Food Centre.  This place takes mail-
order, and they deliver jelly babies for one heck of a lot less than they're
sold at conventions (~$1.50 a box vs. $3.50 and up at cons).  Unfortunately,
to get this price, you have to buy a case of jelly babies...that's 12 4-oz
boxes.

But hey, when you're an addict, it's all the same.

(If anyone wants the Food Centre's number, it's in CA somewhere, and I'll mail
it to anyone who's interested.)
