Major snackage

These used to come in liquorice tubes filled with proper sherbet. I couldn't find those on the shelf so I asked the two assistants available. I said, "they look EXACTLY like this only in liquorice flavour," After much ooing and ahing the young girl stared at the shelf like a Henry Moore and said, " Is this it?" holding up a Sherbet Fountain. A SHERBET FOUNTAIN! For shame.

After my detailed description and emphatic and enthusiastic deliberations on the product, it made me think how Col. Nicholson (Alec Guinness) felt when they blew his bridge up on the River Kwai.

Sweeties are a SERIOUS business, especially on Fridays :)
