walshie 2,804 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 It's driving me nuts. What were those sweets called that looked like a yellow stick of dynamite that was a tube of sherbet with a liquorice straw going into the top of it.? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They're not even in the same league !! Liquorice all the way ! 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blackbriar 8,568 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 https://www.flickr.com/photos/brizzlebornandbred/5110941023 I just read that - how can you sell a sherbet fountain in a plastic tube ??? After the demise of Opal Fruits and Marathon why can't they just leave things alone ?? And whatever happened to Spangles ?? For crying out loud - and they wonder why everything's gone to 5hit!! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
