They're
Back: Fizzies®
Yes, those disc-shaped little bombs of flavorful fizz are back!
Long before colas and other soft drinks made it into our house,
we kids had Fizzies®. Sure, we also
had Kool-Aid®, which was tasty (especially
the red flavors!), but Fizzies® had
the bubbles and were a blast to make! You just opened up the little
envelope and plopped one or two into cold water and fruity flavor
bubbled to the surface
I just heard the news and visited the Fizzies®
website to see for myself. The website includes all sorts
of ‘60s era trivia and memories under it’s “Remember
When” section as well as info on the history of the drink
and “Fizzies® 101,” instructions
on how to use them (well, it’s pretty simple)
Made by Minnesota-based Amerilab Technologies, the new product
contains sorbitol instead of sugar, and Vitamin C has been added
so they are “healthier” than the originals, but I’m
interested to find out if they taste as good as I remember.
Looks like the product is due out at the end of May and there
were no stores carrying the product listed on their site. However,
they do direct you to a great candy website, Sweet
Nostalgia, where the product should soon be available to the
public online.
So, plop,plop, fizz, fizz, folks!
