Not sure if this fits in 'Health' or 'Equipment' but, Jelly Babies are a perenial favourite of fellrunners; they usually have bovine gelatine in them so are unsuitable for vegetarians. Does anybody know if veggie friendly 'Babies are available and, if so, are they any good?

A bear not a baby, but same thing. Perhaps a baby bear? Beggar it, you know what I mean...
Not too sure. However, I have just bought some Natural Confectionery Company Dino Mix today ! I compared the ingredients to the Jelly Babies & there seemed to be less ingredients in them. However, they do still have bovine gelatine in them. I'll let you know how they perform on my 18 miler this afternoon !
Now your talking, No more JB's for me only CC's Squirms Try those Jez Wow!!Originally Posted by Jez Hellewell

Alas they too have Bovine gelatine, Sorry lola
Squirms ? Are these for pleasure or as a running aid Ian ? Or both ?? They're on my list !
JB's always leave a "claggy" taste in my mouth !
Oh my!!!
Loads of lovely stuff to ruin my health with - thank you very much for the link, 'bears on their way already.
Wine Gums for me as they don't have that slightly powdery nature of jelly babies.. Think they've still got bovine gelatine though.
If you don't mind spending a bit more, Sharkies energy sweets are excellent.
I can confirm, following my windy 12 miler over Ilkley & Burley Moor yesterday, that Natural Confectionery Company Dino Mix are a much better mid run snack than Jelly Babies. No claggy aftertaste & a nicer, more natural flavour. Case closed.

Aren't all sweets the wrong type of sugar, as in not isotonic so not ideal to assimilate? Ok for munchies though i suppose.
