Advantages: Delicous

Disadvantages: Nothing

Many sweets bring back memories of child hood and Bassetts Sherbert Fountain is one of my top ones. Funnily enough, I am not a lover of liqourice and I usually just have one or two bites of the liqourice stick inside this tube and then throw it away.

The real treat is the sherbert and this particular kind, whilst sharp on the tongue is sweet as well and tastes the best of any kind of sherbert I have ever tried. It is very fine and well compacted inside the tube, so you get more than you realise when you start to eat it.

I tend to tip up the tube into my mouth and eat it that way, but you do have to give it a litte tap or squeeze sometimes to make the sherbert come down the tube. Not something to be eaten on public transport as I am sure you can imagine!

I tend to buy mine in the local corner shop as big supermarkets don't seem to stock them anymore, or not that I have seen. They are around the 20p to 30p mark here and they are something that I indulge in about once a month.

They are sweets and I think sherbert has a lot of sugar in it so it's not healthy and it's not for dieting but it is delicous and as an occasional treat it is absolutely fine. Just remember, don't breath in sharply over the tube or you will have a coughing fit that brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it!

Summary: RECOMMENDED xx
