On one hand, this is a cause for celebration on par with Gaytime 2015: a small sugary, conical slice of our childhood will again be gracing supermarket shelves.
Perhaps Allen’s Lollies are hoping to fill the Spearmint Leaves/Green Frog sized hole they recently created for themselves. Either way, a special thanks to this tireless campaigner for potentially being at least partially responsible for the return of the tot:

But on the other hand, we now live in a different time. The Jelly Tots that we once knew are no more.

And it must be said, they appear suspiciously akin to the Ripe Rasberries of old.
As for how they compare in the Taste Department
, that remains to be seen. For their part, Allen’s seem oblivious to the fact that the news is already out.
