Originally known as Peace Babies, Jelly Babies were launched 75 Years ago by Bassett's - one of Britain's oldest sweets manufacturers - to celebrate the end of the first world war

Peace Babies were popular between the wars, but production ceased in the Second World War because of a shortage of raw materials. They came back in 1953, renamed Jelly Babies.

What do individual jelly babies symbolise?

Australian manufacture generally lack this coating. Jelly babiesJelly babies are similar in appearance to gummi bears, which are better known outside the United Kingdom, though the texture is different --- jelly babies have a firmer outer layer and a softer, less rubbery centre, making them more similar to the American jelly bean or Belgian Cuberdon.In popular cultureWhen Beatlemania broke out in 1963, fans of The Beatles pelted the band with jelly babies (or, in the USA, the much harder jelly beans) after it was reported that George Harrison liked eating them.[4][5][6] In the British television programme Doctor Who, jelly babies were often mentioned in the classic series. First seen being consumed by the Second Doctor, they became most associated with Tom Baker's Fourth Doctor, who had a predilection for offering them to strangers in order to defuse tense situations. The Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and Eleventh Doctors also offered them up in different episodes. The Doctor's nemesis the Master in "The Sound of Drums" offers them to his wife on board the Valiant.In May 2013 Australian singer Alison Hams released "Jelly Baby Song"[7] - its content alluding to the consumption of jelly babies by Type 1 Diabetics to overcome hypoglycaemic episodes[8] - as a way to raise awareness for Type 1 Diabetes for JDRF Australia (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)[9] who sell especially-packaged jelly babies as the focus of their annual "Jelly Baby Month" campaign.[10]Jelly Babies are briefly mentioned in the first episode of the Machinima.com series Clear Skies, as well as in Rick Riordan's novel, The Serpent's Shadow.
