It's time for a cultural candy clash, you see, we have a suite in the uk called sherbet powder, and this is a sherbet fountain. It's one of the many items that you get with sherbet in it and i didn't realize that america has a completely different definition of sure. But you see in america, sherbet is basically sorbet, but with milk, so it's water, milk, sugar and various flavorings frozen and turned into a granular sort of dessert a frozen iced dessert. Here it's nothing like that.

Sherbet is a powder. Let me open this and show you now the packaging this has changed from what it used to be here. Is the white powder spilling out in a very suspicious way? Oh, no! That's that's looking very suspicious! Oh it's going everywhere, but in this tube is a plastic tube. Now is a piece of licorice and this powder.

The powder is a mixture of sugar with agents to stop it, clumping and drying, uh and well clumping and basically absorbing martian air, because it also contains bicarbonate of soda and citric acid and possibly tartaric acid too, and when i taste it, it's super sweet and fizzy. Very fine and sweet: it's very refined powder. Now this isn't how these used to be sold. It used to be a cardboard tube and it used to have this a cardboard sleeve, with the outer, yellow, wrapper and just twisted, and the licorice used to just stick out the tops.

You could actually go into a shop and touch people's licorice. I'm not sure. That's a good thing, but they've changed that this is a new all plastic, ecologically disastrous hygienic version. Now, in the past, the licorice used to be hollow inside, not sure if it still is um, it is not hollow in the side.

That's a shame because you used to be able to suck the sherbet through the licorice, but not any longer. But the idea is you lick your licorice and then you dip it in and the moisture makes it all stick around and then you can stuff it in your garb and then eat lots of sugar with a sugary. Stick, that's good! You also get the sherbet dip dab, which is a lollipop that you also dip in the sugar. So it's basically sugar dipped in sugar all the way here, but this is good.

However, i'm guessing, you must have an equivalent of this fizzy powder in america. If you don't, then here's some recipes for you. I shall put the ingredients off this, incidentally, on in the description down below, so you can look at what's in these i'll. Do the recipes one's called one two three and one is called one one three.

They basically involve getting a teaspoon of citric acid, which is a very super sour dry, fruit, acid, a teaspoon of uh, bicarbonate soda and then in both these recipes. It's three teaspoons of icing sugar. The icing sugar is about 90 97 sugar and three percent corn starch or corn flour to stop it caking, and in this version there is a one scoop of a carbonated soda, two scoops of uh citric acid, making a very sour one and the three scoops of Sugar in this version it's a much less sour version. It's one scoop of carbonated soda, one scoop of citric acid and three scoops of the icing sugar just mix it together and uh.

Let's compare it so i'm going to taste this one, then i'm going to taste the simple, safe one: that's not too acidic very similar to that, and then this is a super acidic one with extra citric acid, oh and it's very acidic, which is not too bad. That's hard choosing between the two of them, but it's something you can decide yourself if you play about this, so all you need is to make this power drop, get lollipop things up, and it's just very simply a dipping candy powder. Let me just keep dipping i'm going to do a comparison again, but the recipes are down below another thing you can do. You can get a glass of water and put two teaspoons of this powder into that glass of water and mix it up, and it will basically turn it into a sweet, fizzy drink.

I used to do that occasionally with the sherbet fountains and, to be honest, it wasn't as good as just eating it direct. It was always a bit disappointing. I'd wasted my shirt, fountain making a drink, but it had to be done only thing. I did it a couple of times right, okay, but that's it.

The cultural difference between the uk and the usa for sweets versus candy. Our sherbet is a powder. Yours is ice.
