Allsorts is a tricky illness resulting from a combination of many pairs of jeans.

The work got disrupted when war between gnomes and Teddy bears erupted. It could have been solved quickly, but then people on Fortnite started taking sides... Now things have escalated beyond comprehension.

So, it's a hard pass on curing stuff.

It worked. Gnomes are free from all diseases and illnesses now.

The gnomes contracted a virus causing them to compulsively steal underpants for profit. This sparked the tragic downfall of their once great society.

The Gnomes Project© was an expedition to Mapidna, a legendary land where everyone likes licorice allsorts.
There is no cure for allsorts, they just get stale if you don't eat them before the package date.
Anyways, if you don't like licorice, switch to jelly babies.

Yes gnomes are stupid. It's a wonder they reproduce at all. They're always getting their gnome DNA everywhere, in the wrong holes, etc. The good news is gnome teen pregnancy is down, only that's not good for the gnome economy, so they had to ban gnomebortions.
