Does ANYONE know where you can get the sherbet filled fruits??? I used to get these in Norway when I lived there and have never found them since!

Please someone tell me you know somewhere that sells these???

Do you mean ones like sherbert lemons? I am sure I have had sherbet lemons from supermarkets etc - just in the bags for about a pound with all the other sweets. I remember as a kid you could get different varieties --mmmm sherbet strawberrries, but i haven't seen these for a long time. Sorry if this wasn't what you meant!#

Edit: Just read post above - i think i was on the wrong track - sorry!!

No they are plastic fruits with a tiny screw top lid which are filled with a very sour sherbet powder... if you look then they're in the wooden box linked to above.

we got a few of the sherbert filled plastic fruits in a goodie bag from poundland or the 99p store can't remember which. There was 2 or 3 in the bag with other sweets.....popping candy......plastic straws filled with sherbert (flipping nuisance to get into)...and lollipops
