Att: Brown Ajah - a query for you

[Pantsonfire]

So I come to the center of knowledge in the shadow of DM to pursue a query of importance.

 

A friend of my mine whom believes sherbet is carcinogenic has been so bold as to lay a wager on his position. As the keepers of the library I was wondering if the brown Ajah would mind overly much if I asked them to provide me with a definitive answer on the matter. Preferably with a link to resources.

What is sherbet? Sherbet (powder), an effervescent drink or a fizzy powder sweet, chiefly UK or Sherbet, an American term for a frozen dessert like sorbet, but containing a small amount of dairy or something else?

 

*needs to know in order to do the research*

[Basel Gill]

I wonder if those in the UK commonly mispronounce it as "sherbert", much like so many Americans do. Including myself, despite the fact that I know how it should be said on an intellectual level, my mouth insists on saying it the wrong way because that's how I learned it as a kid.

[Pantsonfire]

Sherbert as is the powdery substance that is sweet (sometimes sour). It is a kind of sweet/lolly/candy here.

 

So I the former definition listed by Raena.

 

 

A common brand name for it is 'Wizz-Fizz' if that helps.

Wizz Fizz - so therefore the powder - btw Yum (not that I've had any for years - I want some now)

There seems to be a couple of Australians poking around DM. Glad I'm not the only one lol

The answer is, anything can be lit on fire if you have a pyro, (does that count?)

[Millon]

FIRE!
