	Had an discussion with one of our carers.She is about 22 and seriously addicted to DipDabs. When they were not available she was forced to resort to sherbet fountains which she ate by dipping the liquorice in the sherbet. Surely the correct etiquet in these matters is to bite the end off the liquorice and suk the sherbet up the tube. Not having been brought up properly,she didn't know the liquorice was a tube.

Member Since: June 2005 Posts: 8,791 Send Message	There's a "Sweetie" shop about 30 minutes drive from me, with lots of UK sweets. I got some jelly babies there a couple of weeks ago. What have they done to jelly babies? They looked the same, with the white powdery sugar (as a child I thought it was baby powder lol), but they weren't soft. They weren't like gummi sweets, just different from babies I've had. Maybe they were stale. I always get the boy jelly babies, you get just that wee bit more :-D
