Sherbert!

Have a bit of fun by dropping a Bon Bon Fizz Bomb.

Massive sherbert bon bons with outer powdery sherbert coatings.Yellow,red,blue..The internal of the bon bon sphere is half filled with water.Upon a calculated projection "impact" The bon bon Fizz Bomb explodes . The water mix is propelled through the sphere's tight perforations spreading enormous amounts of goopy-slimey sherbert powder which is now a liquified sticky goo, imobilsing your foes in a sugary Ffzzzzzz..!

(abit like paintball really)

Anyone remember "Zots" candy? Similar effect when ingested.

Sort of in the original "Fizzies" family of fine foods, I am sure. (When I was 6 my brother convinced me that when you placed one on your tongue and closed your mouth the popping and fizzling you felt, actually was brain cells being zapped.)

My younger brother ate an entire packet of the Zots Power Pellets in one mouthful, which was followed quickly by foam erupting violently from his nose and mouth.. I don't think they are on the market anymore. (later: yes, they still are, just not the power pellets)

the enemy forces must eat their way to freedom. by the time they escape, they are too obese to be a military threat. they join jenny craig, lose the weight while gaining self-esteem and discipline, and happily join their local productive work force. world peace ensues. croissant for achieving nirvana through sherbert!

<confused> These Zots, are they the same as the sherbert spaceships i used to shoplift from the local corner shop as a kid when being brought up hammered with morals whilst living in the U.K ? <confused>

I remember eating a sherbie and then taking a swig of beer without realising the consequences of my actions. it was disaster.

Cultural disconnect: What does "Sherbet" mean on your side of the pond? Over here it is typically fruit juice frozen into an ice cream like consistency.
-- Galbinus_Caeli, Jul 01 2007


What we mean by 'sherbet' in the UK is a fizzy powder (usually cream soda- or fruit-flavoured) used in some sweets (candies), that according to Wiki, "would be somewhat comparable to the powder in Pixy Stix or Lik-M-Aid/Fun Dip, though having the fizzy quality of Pop Rocks effervescing candy."

This idea reminds me of a news story I read a while ago (I'll look for a link), about an unfortunate child who microwaved a bon-bon. The boiled-sugar outside wasn't too hot, but the inside was super-hot, and it exploded with painful consequences.

[skinflap]'s version sounds fun though. [+]
