hi everyone :) who remembers buying sherbet in tiny little plastic drinks bottles? I ate so much sherbet it's a wonder i have any teeth left!!

Dont remember them but do remember Sherbert Dib Dabs, came in a yellow tube with licorice (how the hell do you spell that word lol) :)

I remember those, I think you can still get them?? along with the straws you use to keep biting the end off and spitting away :D Well what kid carried scissors? :p
I have to say I was more of a kali girl myself ;)

Wash your mouth out.. they were Sherbert fountains, Dib Dabs were a packet with three compartments, pink sherbert, yellow sherbert and a dipstick, were they not?

Sorry age is playing tricks on my brain :)

Yes they were fountains :)

[sixtyten]

Three compartments? They only had one IIRC
They used to make Jaffa sherbet which was fab

[Heather74]

My mistake Dib Dabs came with a lolly, I was thinking of Double Dips :o

[Tilly Jane]

what about the plastic fruits filled with sherbet? you can still get them now, but they're tiny!! :(

[sixtyten]

Yes, Double Dips come with the edible dipper. Dib Dabs was the yellow lolly:)

Does anyone else remember flying saucers made out of rice paper and filled with sherbet. Can you still get them?

[Heather74]

I remember them arod, and yes you can still get them either on line or in the shops, my kids had one of those see through plastic tubs/buckets full for Christmas last year.

It's a wonder people still have teeth, its so sweet and sickly

Thanks huggie..I thought they were old fashioned sweets and nobody ate them anymore. I couldn't stand the things myself but sounds like your kids love them!! :D

Sadly not, over half got wasted, IE ripped in half leaving sherbet all over my carpets :mad:....:D
