Sherbert Flying Saucers!
Discussion
Anyone know anything about these??? My kids got some for Christmas from the on-line sweet shop "A Quarter of" - but they are terrible - fruit flavour sherbert (not the really fizzy type), tough rice paper, multi/bi-coloured - nothing like the "originals"! YUK!
I know the pukka ones are still available - somneone at work brought a massive tub in recently and they were ACE (I think they got them at some shop called Cosco or something?..or maybe Makro?)- so question is - does anyone remember the brand name of the proper ones???

The ones on a quarter of are the original ones.I know the pukka ones are still available - somneone at work brought a massive tub in recently and they were ACE (I think they got them at some shop called Cosco or something?..or maybe Makro?)- so question is - does anyone remember the brand name of the proper ones???
You just got older and thought they were better.

.........They are artificially bright in colour......some "saucers" are made of two different coloured "discs"..and the sherbert is "fruity"! If I hadnt tasted the REAL ones recently I might have agreed with you!...the proper ones are still available (in fact I remember that Tesco used to sell them in sachets as well!) ...it's tracking them down thats the trick!

These recent imposters are the very poor substitute..........looks like I am going to have to do a trawl of the wholesalers until I can find the ones that one of my guys brought into work recently (we all agreed that these were the ONES!)
Off to Costco!

Costco definitely sell the large tubs of the ones you are after, some of the guys from work do a Costco run every so often and usually bring me back a tub or two...
Arrr that could be the answer I was looking for too!A friend bought me a big tub of flying saucers for my birthday... they didnt hang around long
However - she also bought me a big tub of candy floss
That went in the bin!Found this link if its any help:
