Hi I was brought up in Ruskington (near Sleaford, Lincolnshire) and I remember buying Kayli (by the quarter) and getting a lolly to eat it with but wasn't fussy if we didn't have one as we'd use our finger to dip into it, but I think Kayli was the multi-coloured sherbet and really fizzy - I can also remember buying sherbet with the liquorice in a long yellow tube with the liquorice sticking out the top like a firework and can also remember you were supposed to suck it through the hole in the liquorice but never could!! That was in the late '60's!!
