Hi - I bought some sherbet fountains - something I haven't done in years, and find that the 'straws' have been replaced with solid liquorice sticks!
Does anyone know where they still have the origional ones?

Is mango peel edible?

rice cakes and oat cakes

Well I havent had one in over 30 years but they were hollow last time I did, you bit off either end then used it like a straw, didn't work that well though.

Gosh! It only seems like yesterday.
