  3. Sherbert Pips

This Memory is looking a little short on nostalgia! Have you got anything you could add?

Sherbet Pips used to come in the jars that you would get a quarter weighed out from. They were hard boiled, small, brightly coloured sweets covered in a dusting of icing sugar. They were very tasty - especially when you stuffed a whole load in your mouth at once!

    I certainly do. If you placed your wet, sticky fingers into the 2oz bag too many times, there always seemed to be a batch that stuck together in the corner of the white paper bag. Lovely...

    Heavenly, until they changed the recipe. When I used to like them they were so fizzy it would burn you if you put too many in your mouth at one time.

    Were these also called Tom Thumb Pips ? Carry the bag around for a day and they all melted into one lump and stuck to the paper.

      Yup - I don't think I ever managed to get through a quarter before that happened!

Do you remember these?
