This week I wanted to do a taste test of Retro British Sweets! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Do you have a favourite classic British sweet that wasn't included? Let me know! If it's black liquorice flavour, please don't let me know. I can't stand to eat another thing that's black liquorice.
I bought the box of British sweets from Amazon - you can find it here: amzn.to/2Sirdiw

Hey! I'm Alanna - a twenty-something documenting my life as a Canadian living in England.
I share the ups and downs of an expat living abroad and what it's really like living in the UK. It's not always easy, but there's been so many wonderful experiences, too. I post a KZfaq video every Tuesday and an additional video every Saturday on my Patreon account. I also livestream every Wednesday and Sunday at 6:30pm GMT on Twitch.

The correct way to eat a Sherbet Fountain is to: *Step 1.* Open it up and immediately throw away the licorice (or give it to the weird kid that likes it). *Step 2.* Slowly tip the sherbet into your mouth, when no sherbet comes out, tip tube up further and give it a good tap. *Step 3.* When the avalanche of sherbet hits the back of your throat, uncontrollably cough, covering all the surrounding area in a dusting of white powder. For bonus points, close your mouth when you cough, sending some of the sherbet up your nose, causing your nose to sting for several minutes.

You're ideally supposed to use the licorice stick in the sherbet fountain as a straw, it's hollow and if you powder the sherbet you can suck up the sherbet through it; this sweetens the licorice and rounds out the flavor. But the licorice stick often gets blocked.

Why is it that so many people dislike Black Liquorice? As an older Brit that was all you could get when I was young other than 'Shoelaces' which were Red Liquorice. Years ago the liquorice in the Sherbet Fountain was hollow. You bit the end off and sucked the Sherbet through the liquorice! Unfortunately if you sucked to hard you choked! The liquorice got blocked fairly quickly so we would eat the liquorice then tip the Sherbet straight into our mouths and eat it, cue much, much more choking!!! Happy days! Black Jacks, awesome. Oh, and Haribo is a German sweet company. They tried to get here in 1940, but had to wait a few more years before they succeeded! lol Now in my sixties I've never heard of half of those 'retro' sweets!

The idea of a sherbet fountain is that you suck the sherbet powder out of the packet through the liquorice stick, which is supposed to be hollow... and usually isn't. Moreover, the sherbet is usually not as powdery as it needs to be to actually come up through the tube anyway, so when you buy a sherbet fountain, you can reasonably expect to be disappointed.... but once in a blue moon it works the way it's meant to and you're so surprised that it feels like a real achievement and that really cheers you up. Whether it actually tastes nice is, of course, a moot point. It's a bit like golf... you stroll on to the first tee with hope in your heart and the almost certain knowledge that your hope is going to be unfulfilled; but just occasionally, once in a blue moon, it is. And that makes all the disappointments pale into insignificance. Re-reading this ludicrous rant, I should let you know that I've been in the pub most of the evening: But still, there's a kernel of some sort of truth in it somewhere; just don't ask me quite where it really is.

Also, the correct way to eat a sherbet fountain is to throw the disgusting bit away and just pour the sweet goodness into your mouth. Not too much at a time though or your head might explode. You don't come to enjoy black liquorice with age- I'm ancient and can't abide the muck.

It was not sweet or soft and came in little thin sticks, black and hard. They were about the size of a pencil but thinner. The taste was bitter so I think there was no sugar at all in these.

Unfortunately most of those "classics" aren't even Classics, they are post 2010...Hannahs?...Harribo??? lol wine gums from UK are Maynards ;) The sherbet fountain, nobody ate the liquorice...we threw that at our siblings :D What you need is a Wham Bar, Coltsfoot rock, Parma Violets, UFO, ect. Oh but I bet you liked the Curly wurly :D

I used to love the chewy bugs with a goo filling. They discontinued them though. Best thing is the Randoms but it's not the same.

Hiya. My grandparents passed too soon for me to remember them but, God!, I remember those sweet filled glass bowls on ALL my aunts' front room coffee tables! And, yes, you had to prise them apart or open with a crow bar. Lol. All the best to you.

"Toxic Waste" sweets recommended for the sensitive pallet! Entertaining as always.

Black Jacks are awesome and unlike many of the things you tried truly are retro Haribos for example were unheard of until fairly recently

Any other brits out there never heard of Hannah’s white mice? I know the pick n mix mice but not that. Must be made up.

You should try one of the old fashioned sweetshops they have aound, where they have lots of old sweets in huge jars.

Ok im old. I love blackcurrant liquorice and black jacks, not keen on just black liquorice at all. But Its so good of you to eat those sweets for your public as you dont normally eat many sweets (hahaha I have seen one or two of your other videos where you might have sampled a "few"). Great video again, keep them coming

Really enjoyed this one Allana and I was half expecting you to pull out the old 'Victory V' lozenges which I would have enjoyed your reaction to, but sadly they weren't there :-( You should try and find some for a future vid, along with some Horlicks pastels if they can still be found. We have an old fashioned style sweet shop in Leicester (which I can't remember the name of!) which still have all the sweets in big jars like the shops did when I was a kid. I bet they could put together a fantastic selection for you. Let me know if you want me to find out more details about the shop for you and I will get their details when I'm next in town. Anyway, enough waffling - great vid, keep smiling :-)

Jazzies (jazzles are just jazzies which you can get anywhere - we called them hundreds and thousands), mint cracknel, toffos, peanut brittle, flying saucers, rhubarb & custard, bon-bons, sherbet lemons, chewits, treets, fruit pastilles, bar six, opal fruits, spangles - somehow I still have most of my own teeth! I would vote for toffos as my favourite - the mint one.

There were some rhubarb & custard hard sweets in the box - definitely never seen that taste-combination in Canada before!

I'm getting flashbacks to my school days, Where I was fueled by sweets like sherbert fountains and lemon drops. Luckily I still have all my own teeth after such punishment. I don't think I could handle the sugar rush nowadays. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

We also have the Sherbert dip dab in the UK, it's much better than the one you tried if you hate liquorice. I have no idea what the obsession with black liquorice is either and I am from the UK.
