  3. Sherbet Fountains

We used to have these if we were good as a treat. They were sherbet powder in a yellow paper cylinder and out of the top would be a piece of liquorice. The liquorice used to have a hole through it and you used to suck up the sherbet through it. Only trouble was it would always go down the wrong way and you used to end up coughing and spluttering with your eyes watering. Great fun!

    The ones from the shop weren't great as others have said. But, I once got one with an elastic band in it. It was sent back and we got a whole box of fresh ones from the the makers. They were brilliant! The liquorice was hollow and the sherbet was explosive! A shame they didn't stay fresh on the shelf.

    I concur that the liquorice was hollow (after biting off the ends). I used to empty the sherbert into a glass of water and drink it through the liquorice straw.

    Still readily available, but in plastic tube which spoils the fun, but probably much more hygienic.

      Yes but less environmentally friendly they will probably revert back to papersoon or disappear!

    The liquorice was hollow but you had to bite the closed ends off first, then suck...

    I remember my mate emptying a whole packet into his mouth on his way to school,gagging and exploding like some kind of Wonka-esque volcano finally spitting the whole lot out onto the pavement. The puddle was still fizzing as I passed it on the way home!

    I don't think the liquorice is or ever was hollow. Though I'm sure you could get hollow liquorice sticks to do that trick. I was never keen on the liquorice, didn't like it too much anyway, used to give it to my friend and then just chug down the sherbet. Mmmm, bliss.

    I always though these were a bit rubbish. I liked the fact that they looked like a big pencil, but they did go soggy and I didn't like the sherbet much - seemed a bit boring. I don't remember the liquorice being hollow either.

Do you remember these?
