You can get jelly babies made from vegetarian gelatin-alternatives.


Psychologists did a study where they gave women bowls of jellybabies and watched how they ate them. There was no strong pattern either way for non-mothers as to whether they bit off the head first or the legs, but women who had had kids almost exclusively bit the head off first.

The first time I heard that, I found it surprising and slightly cruel. Then my sister (with child, pregnant with #2) explained that she's going to eat the jellybabies either way, so she might as well put it out of its misery quickly by biting the head off. If she bit the legs first, it would be in imaginary pain for longer.
