Not Retro!
Review from rowntrees.co.uk
Oh my god gutted!!!!! Where is the flat delicious sugary tot of my youth! What is the strange dome shaped jelly I am presented with!
Awful
Taste off, nothing like they used to be at all. Leave a chalky taste behind and the fruit flavours just taste super weird especially orange. Wouldn't buy these ever again. Bring back tooty fruitys!
Still amazing
Review from rowntrees.co.uk
Not had these in years mainly stick with fruit pastilles and they are still amazing so fruity off for bag 2 now they are stocked in my local shop
They changed more than just the colour of the pack
No mention of change on the bag.No 'new recipe', or 'new size' label.I noticed the bag was not the usual yellow colour but as soon as I tore open the pack, I could see they looked bigger and were harder. The flavour is different but the worst thing is the consistency. It's just off. The sugar is more crystalline and the jelly is a strange mix of chewy and soft. They lack that lovely fruity burst of flavour when you put them in your mouth and I miss how lovely and moreish they used to be and how you just couldn't stop shoving them in your mouth. I have had Jelly Tots since I was a little girl growing up in the 80's. They were always in my stocking at Christmas time. The size used to be perfect for pouring out a small handful and tasting all the flavours at once. I used to like to put one of each colour all in together. Now you don't want to really do that because they are too big, so you eat one at a time and they actually got sickly after a while. I never thought I would say it, but I will not be buying more unless I can get hold of the originals. My daughter was right, they are now more similar to those sugary jellies you get in the Dolly Mixture bags. Nowhere near as nice. Next time, Rowntree, please tell us on the pack when you make changes! You owe it to your loyal customers to bring back the originals. Your sweets are classics. Don't fix what's not broken. They're not just sweets, they are memories and links to our childhood! Every time I eat them I am scrambling for presents under the tree and 9 years old again. I'm in my forties now and still get the Jelly Tots tube in my Christmas stocking and so do my kids. Please bring back the originals.

BRING BACK THE OLD TOT
Review from rowntrees.co.uk
These tots are nothing like the old one. The old jelly tots were the best sweets in the shop. These are a different shape, size, consistency and also taste. More like a fruit gum/pastille now. Bring back the old tot please, theres nothing like em
just want her back x
Review from rowntrees.co.uk
In these uncertain times, I just want to stuff my face with gleeful abandon and I had hoped that the instrument I would play the song of gluttony on would be my childhood favourites, Jelly Tots. While I've undoubtedly set up camp in the realm of first world problems my disappointment on opening a bag of these bloated, grotesquely squishy globules of sadness is very real. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say the change to Jelly Tots is tantamount to treason and I for one will not bow to these flaccid usurpers to the Candy Throne.
Not the same
Review from rowntrees.co.uk
I bought a bag of jelly tots but found out that they had changed to a jelly sweet normally found in a dolly mixtures bag.
Fingerprint in sweet!
Review from rowntrees.co.uk
Fine packet but there's a fingerprint in one of the jelly tots. Not happy.
Ruined Jelly Tots
Review from rowntrees.co.uk
I’ve always loved Jelly Tots from the time I was a kid, but I recently bought a pack and was horrified by how they’ve changed. Honestly devastated. Why would you ever change something so perfect?
