      We have no jellie babies imported into the US because the red
  jellie babies have a dye which is restricted in the US.  You can 
  occasionally get them at cons or special order them from a candy
  store in the UK (I guess), but either way, I don't know if it is
  really legal (imagine a customs inspector saying "I need to check
  your red jellie babies!"). They taste just like soft jelly beans.
