Barratt Sherbet Fountain – The Original Retro Sweet with a Fizzy Twist

The Barratt Sherbet Fountain is more than just a sweet — it's a time machine in a tube. Launched in 1925 and beloved for nearly a century, this fizzy icon pairs tangy white sherbet with a bold black liquorice dipping stick to create a classic British treat that’s both playful and satisfyingly nostalgic. Now updated in a modern, resealable plastic tube, it delivers the same mouth-tingling joy with longer-lasting freshness and less mess.

What’s Inside the Sherbet Fountain?

This is no ordinary sherbet. The Barratt Sherbet Fountain contains a carefully blended mix of natural ingredients: sugar, citric acid, tartaric acid, cornflour, sodium bicarbonate, and natural flavourings like aniseed oil. The liquorice dipping stick is made with wheat flour, treacle, liquorice extract, plain caramel, and a dash of good old-fashioned British ingenuity.

A Retro Classic Reimagined

While the cardboard packaging may be gone, the spirit of the retro Sherbet Fountain lives on. The updated design helps keep the sherbet dry and fizzing for longer, and the liquorice stick is now safely tucked inside the tube — perfect if you're one of those who likes to savour it over time rather than devour it in one go.
