Jelly Babies
Jelly Babies are a type of soft sugar jelly sweets in the shape of plump babies, sold in a variety of colours. They were first manufactured in Lancashire, England, in the nineteenth century. Their popularity waned before being revived by Bassett's of Sheffield in Yorkshire, who began mass-producing Jelly Babies (initially sold as "Peace Babies") in 1918. History "Jelly Babies" are known at least since advertisements by Riches Confectionery Company of 22 Duke Street, London Bridge in 1885, along with a variety of other baby sweets, including "Tiny Totties" and " Sloper’s Babies". But the pricing of these, at one farthing each, suggests that they were very much larger than the modern Jelly Baby. The sweets were invented in 1864 by an Austrian immigrant working at ''Fryers of Lancashire'', and were originally marketed as "Unclaimed Babies." By 1918 they were produced by Bassett's in Sheffield as "Peace Babies," to mark the end of World War I. Bassett's themselves have suppor ...

Screaming Jelly Babies
"Screaming Jelly Babies" (British English), also known as "Growling Gummy Bears" (American and Canadian English), is one classroom chemistry demonstration variants of which are practised in schools around the world. It is often used at open evenings to demonstrate the more light-hearted side of secondary school science. The experiment shows the amount of energy there is in one piece of confectionery; jelly babies, or gummy bears, are often used for theatrics. Potassium chlorate, a strong oxidising agent rapidly oxidises the sugar in the candy causing it to burst into flames producing a "screaming" sound as rapidly expanding gases are emitted from the test tube. The aroma of candy floss (cotton candy) is also given off. Researchers in Japan developed a new headset in December 2011 that triggers different sounds as wearers close their jaws when eating which included the " heart breaking" squeals of masticated jelly babies. Other carbohydrate or hydrocarbon containing substan ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Leotia Lubrica
''Leotia lubrica'', commonly referred to as a jelly baby, is a species of fungus in the family Leotiaceae. The species produces small fruit bodies up to in height, featuring a "head" and a stalk. Ochre with tints of olive-green, the heads are irregularly shaped, while the stalk, of a similar colour, attaches them to the ground. The appearance can be somewhat variable and is similar to a number of other species, including '' Cudonia confusa'', '' C. circinans'', '' L. atrovirens'' and '' L. viscosa''. ''L. lubrica'' was first validly described by Giovanni Antonio Scopoli, but it was later transferred to ''Leotia'' by Christiaan Hendrik Persoon. Its relationship with other members of the genus, of which it is the type species, is complicated. Growing in woodland among moss, plant detritus or other habitats, the ''L. lubrica'' fruit bodies are typically found in large numbers, though they can grow in tight clumps or even individually. The species may feed as a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
