Retro Weird Jelly - Can ANYONE remember this or who made it?

[retroboy1979]

This is driving me nuts! My nan used to buy me some really special luminous jelly that had names like 'Yippee Yellow' and 'Boogalooga/Bougalouga? Blue' Anyone know who made it and what the other colours were? it wasn't as transparent as jelly and I'm sure was banned due to the sheer colouring!v Can't find anything about it online.....

I have a vague memory of these but I don't know who made them or anything else about them. I remember them being cloudy and it's the blue one that sticks in my mind as it seemed like such a novelty then. They musn't have been around for very long.

That's right, they were really nice but were cloudy and fluorescent coloured. The blue one was like Play Doh (they all were actually) Wish I could find who made them and why they stopped making them.

These were called Jolly Jellies.

My friend had some at a party once, the Bluegalmoo(?) was nicknamed Bogaloo. There was also a cherry flavour called something like Pinkadrink.

I think the top was almost clear, while the bottom was almost like blamange.

Oh so we are talking sweet jellies not table jelly?

I thought you meant jelly you made up with water ,not the individual ready made sweetie shop type

Haribo still make them dont they?

Edit (they do)


Also do you remember Slurps these were jelly in the shape of monsters

The ones I'm thinking of were table jellies, made in the same way as a normal jelly with water.

Yes, sorry - I meant table jelly not sweets jellies. Cool pic of slurps though! I had forgotten about those!

Hooray - someone else who remembers Jolly Jelly!!

I went mad for the Boogaloo Blue one, firstly because blue is my favourite colour and blue foodstuffs were so rare then and secondly because it had the best flavour.

Can remember Yippee Yellow (a sickly banana flavour) and Pink-a-Dink (tasted like the pink kids medicine from the doctors!) but can't for the life of me remember the name of the green one.

IIRC the lime one was called Enny Meeny Green.
