Sherbet Fountain [Now in a Plastic Tube]
« on: July 17, 2009, 09:16:24 am »
Just been reading about this (thanks to cinabar). A very good idea I think. I love these sherbet fountains but always hated how the liquorice stuck out the top for people to touch so i would always leave that bit. Unfortunately when i bought one it took me a pair of scissors and about 5 minutes to get the plastic off so what chance does a small child have,

Made me smile to think your were reading my blog! :-)
As for the new packaging - I think they should have just extended the paper to cover the liquorice, and maybe seal it with a twist? They could have moved to recylced paper too.

I agree cinabar. The way they are sealed now with that plastic i imagine kids will be using their teeth to open them and that's not good .
Everyone needs to read cinabars blog. I really enjoyed it.

Decided to have a sherbet dib dab instead today and the strawberry lolly was delish.
