Sherbet powder — the brightly coloured, slightly sour stuff sold in paper bags by the quarter from old sweet shops. A Black Country / West Midlands word, peak nostalgia for anyone who grew up in the region between the 40s and 80s. Spawned the related 'kaylied' — drunk — because the buzz feels similar.

“A quarter o' kay-li and a sherbet dab, please.”
