Jelly Tots
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jelly Tots are soft, chewy fruity sweets with a sugar-coating that contain fruit juices and no artificial colours or flavours. Jelly Tots were launched in 1967 and quickly became established[citation needed] as a popular children's line. They produced by Rowntrees. They come in five flavours: lemon, lime, orange, blackcurrant and strawberry. They are packaged in 25g bags or 168g tubes and are sold in the United Kingdom (and were until recently also sold in Canada[citation needed]).
