    I remember these from my childhood, absolutely loved them, and liked the refresher bar that came out almost as much. Havent had any for a few years now and i would love to have some again, and go back to the days of fun and worry-free times. They’re just great sweets that surely no one can dislike.

    My kids love it when I have a Refresher because when I hit the sherbet inside my face takes on a mind of its own and I can’t help pulling the most ridiculous faces which makes them laugh which in turn makes me laugh!

    When we were kids every single time we come out of the swimming baths we use to buy these… when they were a lot bigger, well seemed a lot bigger :) … we used to have competitions to see who could get the most into their mouths, I used to win hands down everytime, I suppose a combination of loving these along with having a big mouth helps :) xx

    Refreshers are like good old wine. Perfect while they last and will keep you smile every time you think about them later on. They will bring back great memories.

    Oooh I loved refreshers! I also loved fruit salad and black jacks. I can remember being able to get 4 sweets for a penny instead of paying a fortune for each single sweet. Ah the good old days…but I think that over the years I’ve paid tenfold for the ability to get cheap sweets …my dentist bills are astronomical! :-)

    I loved Refreshers as a kid and ate lots of them. I’m in my 40’s now and my kids love them also. I often give them to my kids as a treat for good behaviour. :-)

    I love refreshers. I love the way my eyes go all funny when the sherbert escapes onto your tongue. My day and my son also love them. I think my addiction to them might be hereditary.

  20. Another thing I’ve noticed is for many people, a bad credit score is the results of circumstances further than their control. By way of example they may be actually saddled having an illness and because of this they have high bills for collections. It could be due to a occupation loss or inability to do the job. Sometimes divorce proceedings can truly send the funds in the undesired direction. Many thanks for sharing your thinking on this blog.
