Sharp falls in sweet production? (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
acid drops
'sweet production?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'sharp falls' is the wordplay.
'sharp' becomes 'acid' (as in sharp-tasting).
'falls' becomes 'drops' ('drop' can be a synonym of 'fall').
'acid'+'drops'='ACID DROPS'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for acid drops that I've seen is " Boiled sweets".)
I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
