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]}).
