Sherbet Dip Dab x10 Packs

Product Information

In the Harry Potter series, the character Albus Dumbledore has a particular fondness for sherbet lemons; their name is the passphrase for access to his office. Well, the good news is, sherbet is mostly made of sugar – perhaps not such good news if you’re looking for a healthy snack, but we all need a bit of an energy boost now and then. The word "sherbet" is from Turkish şerbet, which is from Persian شربت, which in turn comes from " sharbat", Arabic شَرْبَة sharbah, a drink, from "shariba" to drink.

Sherbet has been used in parts of both the UK and Australia as slang for an alcoholic drink, especially beer.

A few of us may even have been guilty of tipping the whole packet in our mouths, and then enjoying the sweetness of the lolly after. Perfect as part of your retro sweet collection, display along with flying saucers, rainbow drops, drumstick lollies and other popular retro sweets. The satisfying ‘ptchh’ of the packet tearing open, and that ruby red lolly waiting inside, this was an amazing treat for anyone who liked their sweets with a bit of a tingle to them.

Three flavours of sherbert – orange sparkle, tangy raspberry, and zingy lemon – was too much choice for our brains to comprehend.A sachet full of fluffy white zingy sherbet with that unmistakable red, juicy, strawberry flavour lolly stuck in the middle. For anyone who didn’t get to enjoy these when they were young, Dip Dabs are a packet of white sherbet, with a bright red lolly in the packet. Have to say, it would be so much better if the stick was made of plastic rather than whatever it is made out of, it goes all fuzzy and horrible when you've been sucking on the lolly for ages.

Fizzy and acidic, these are wonderful for those who want a change from the more traditional chocolate or chewy sweets. I imagined that a few seconds later the fountain would fly into the sky with a frightening WHEEEEEEEEEE, like a banshee, and then there would be a BANG loud enough to make all the dogs in the street start barking. There were reports of children standing frozen in the street for hours on end because their brains couldn't decide what flavour of sherbert to eat next.They consist of a 23g packet of "lemon flavour sherbet dip with a strawberry flavour lolly" sealed into the bag.

I thought you were supposed to light the liquorice stick, as if it were a fuse, and then run away quick.

I referred to the powder that you dip your lolly into as sherbert and was told, in a "teacher at school type way" that there's no R in sherbet! That wonderful tingly feeling comes from mixing an acid and an alkaline (usually bicarbonate of soda), and when the two get wet, they fizz together. You could lick the lolly and dip it in the sherbet repeatedly, or – if you were a bit more impatient – scoop up mounds of satisfying sherbet using the lolly like a spoon. No matter when you got your first taste of Dip Dabs, they probably made a pretty big impression on you, and their popularity hasn’t faded yet.Put the peelings on a baking sheet and bake for 15–20 minutes in the preheated oven until dried out and golden-brown. This isn’t a very fun way to end this blog post, but then again, I do have a milluple dip, so I don’t care. For anyone who was a British kid around the 1970s or 1980s, the phrase Dip Dab will bring back some seriously zingy memories of that amazing fizzing sherbet, dancing like sparks on your tongue and the roof of your mouth. Sherbet is a fizzy, sweet powder, usually eaten by dipping a lollipop or liquorice, using a small spoon, or licking it from a finger.
