Sherbert Pips

[remember]

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!

Re: Sherbert Pips

Sherbet Pips are great. We've got a shop in Southport that still sells them from the jars! They've got a couple of websites if you can't get to southport. It's great, they've also got an old lady working in the shop that remembers the sweets from years ago

Re: Sherbert Pips

MUST be eaten in groups, so all the different flavours mix together

(as do Tooty Frooties......you get some gorgeous new flavours by mixing them!)

And right now I happen to be eating a Sherbert Fountain. Smaller than the originals? Odd thing is I've never liked liquorice, so always thrown that away when the sherbet's gone
