Sherbet Fountains

[remember]

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!

Is nothing sacred?

My childhood would not have been complete without choking and sneezing on a sherbert fountain!
