Sherbet fountains are a retro sweet made by Bassetts. Its a cardboard tube thats red and yellow. Inside you will find it filled with white sherbet. Sticking out the top is a stick of liquorice stick. The aim is to keep dabbing the liquorice into the sherbet. yummy! Sherbet fountains remind me of when I was a child. I always remember eating the liquorice stick first and then have to dab my finger in the tube causing all my hands to be sticky. I recently saw these again in Asda. At the time they were only about 30p and I was really shocked to actually see them again. I had to buy one and see if they were like I remembered. I felt like a ...  Read the complete review

Following on from my SHerbet Dip Dab review, I am now going to review the Sherbet Fountain, a sweet treat which I had yesterday eveningm having not eaten one for several years. The sherbet fountain has been around for a great many years, I remember eating them as a child and my parents used to eat them when they were younger too. It is a simple confectionary item, comprising of a cardboard tube containing a quantity of sherbet and a stick of liquorice. All this is wrapped up in an outer wrapper which is coloured yellow and red, very much in keeping with Barrats other sebet based confectionary, the Dip Dab. Opening the Fountain is a ...  Read the complete review

If you've read my top 10 sweets review then you will know that I love liquorice and also love Sherbet Fountain's. They're one of my favourite sweets and I have been eating them since I was a little kid. I remember when trying to chose what to do with my pocket money these were always high on the list. There are two main types of sherbet sweets where you have something to dip into it. These are: Bassett's Sherbet Fountain and Bassett's Dib Dabs, both made by an excellent sweet company. There is however a difference between the two which is the reason why I prefer the Sherbet Fountains. The Dib Dabs have a pink sweet lolly where as the Fountains come with a ...  Read the complete review

Sherbet fountains.....now we all remember these don't we? I got quite excited when I saw them in my local newsagents the other day, I haven't eaten one for years so of course I just had to buy one and sit in the garden to enjoy it and of course take a trip down memory lane. A yellow cardboard tube filled with fluffy white sherbet and a hollow stick of liquorish about sums up this delicacy, but there really is an art to eating it. Untwist the paper around the top of the tube but not too much because you will spill some of the sherbet and that really wouldn't do, then take a small bite out of the top of the liquorish and suck up the sherbet ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review
