What are Fizzies?

Imagine that you could throw a sparkling tablet into a glass of water and turn it into an immediate soda. For a generation growing up in the late 1950s and 1960s, this idea was a reality called Fizzies. They were small candies that got angry as they fell into a glass of cold water. Although they were sold primarily to children, the tablets were also popular among adults as alternatives without sugar to traditional soft drinks.

In the 1950s, Emerson Drugřiná had a significant part of the sparkling pain market from pain with a product called Bromo-Seltzer. Chemists working for Emerson experimented with the addition of fruit flavors to tablets and in 1957 released the first Fizzies series. Original tablets came in several different fruit flavors, such as orange and grapes, along with traditional soda tastes such as root beer. Fizzies were usually sold in packages by eight, although some retailers sold them individually as penny candies.

Fizzies became very popular in the 1960s, partly because of the popular marketing campaign and premiums such as paper hats. The parents enjoyed an aspect of sugar without sugar and the children enjoyed watching the process when the tablets dissolved in the water. Some adventure customers even walked around the water completely and placed the tablets directly on their languages ​​and pretended the days of other carbonated confectionery.

Unfortunately, for millions of Fizzies fans, the last package in 1969 collided from the line. Chemists in Emerson Drug Company used a form of artificial sweetener called Cyclamates. Cyclamates were the only sweeteners capable of creating a stable link with other chemicals used to produce sparkling. Animal tests during the sixties created a connection between cycling and certain cancer, which led to a permanent ban in the United States in 1969. The retailers were povoLeno to sell its remaining supplies until 1970.

Fizzies seemed to become just another meal, but the public interest did not die completely. The Emerson Drug Company could not find a substitute sweetener, but at one point the new owners of the Warner-Lamebert Pharmaceuticals offered an unsweetened version. Consumers were asked to add sugar and ice. At the age of 90, an attempt was made to resurrection of the original Fizzies using an aspartame of an artificial sweetener. Apparently the product was not the same as the original, which caused the manufacturers to stop production after several years.

Recently, online vintage candies promote a reformulated version of Fizzies sweetened with sukralosis. Sukralosis is a natural derivative of regular sugar that is used for a number of culinary purposes. In this new formulation, seven flavors are currently offered along with the original amount of other vitamin C. The originals are in which form, but at least the new generation can experience the miracles of water monitoring, turning into soda pop.
