Britain's favorite sweets return: Jelly Babies in retro packaging appear at Tesco.

According to The Sun: Sweet shoppers can travel down memory lane as the popular treat has released a 'retro' package.

However, this nostalgic move has also left fans with the same problem.

Jelly Babies have been a staple of penny sweets for decades.

Whether your grandma slipped you some fruit undercover or you saved up pocket money to buy a bag yourself, every Brit is familiar with this tasty treat.

And now you can enjoy these sweets just like before, with new retro editions available on shelves across the UK.

'The new retro packaging of Jelly Babies has been spotted in Tesco!' explained a social media user under an image of the sweets.

The 165-gram package features a classic design with cartoon characters skateboarding.

A ribbon at the bottom of the package indicated that this is a 'Limited edition retro packaging.'

These sweets were first mass-produced at the end of World War I to celebrate the era of peace. In fact, they were originally marketed as 'Peace Babies' before being renamed Jelly Babies after sugar rationing ended in 1953.

However, it was only decades later that larger packages were established, but in recent years the 190-gram bag has controversially been reduced to just 165 grams.

The retro packaging costs £1.25 and is part of a 1990s nostalgia collection at Tesco.

However, avid shoppers noted that these sweets cost significantly less back in the 'retro' era.

They took to Facebook comments to share their thoughts on the reduced weight and inflated prices.

'Let's also take the prices back to the past! And make the bag bigger,' suggested one fan.

'It's a shame the price isn't retro,' agreed another dissatisfied commenter.

A third person remarked that the sweet package 'doesn't have retro bag weight.'

• The version of this sweet was first created in a confectionery shop in Lancashire in 1864.
• To celebrate the end of World War I, the sweets were released as 'Peace Babies.'
• Production was halted during World War II due to shortages of sugar and other ingredients.
• In 1953, a new version of this treat was released as 'Jelly Babies' with softer jelly and individual baby figure shapes.
• In 1989, each sweet was given a name and personality to appeal to children: Brilliant (red), Bubbles (yellow), Baby Bonny (pink), Boofuls (green), Bigheart (purple), and Bumper (orange).
• Jelly Babies have long been considered a quintessential British confection. The sweets are favorites of celebrities such as The Beatles and Doctor Who, with the fourth Doctor Tom Baker often offering these sweets on the show.

In the meantime, iconic retro sweets from the 80s have been spotted on shelves for just 31 pence.

And another popular candy brand has recently returned with a nostalgic flavor.

Additionally, B&M sells giant jars of nostalgic childhood sweets for just £1.

Popular sweets Jelly Babies have returned with a nostalgic design in new retro packaging that can already be found in supermarkets. While fans warmly welcome this move, some of them note that the price for the sweets is still reminiscent of modern times, not quite like in the 'retro' days. Furthermore, other retro sweets from the 80s are also making a comeback on shelves, causing a surge of nostalgia among sweet lovers.
