The Classic Sherbet Fountain from Bassetts

I used to love these when I was young and they are still available. Never quite understood how you could suck the sherbet through the liquorice stick as it just got clogged up on the first suck. Besides that impractical point, it does have quite a few chemicals and preservatives in, but that is normal on most commercially produced sweets, ironically a mandatory requirement on food health and safety!

Thumbs up on this one, but only from a nostalgic note.
