Fizzies update
Well, I posted a couple of weeks ago about Fizzies, an updated version of an effervescent fruit drink that was all the rage during my childhood. (One correction to that earlier post — I said that the last revival of Fizzies was five years ago; it was actually longer than that, with the company stopping production about 2000 or 2001.)
The latest company to produce the product does not sell retail quantities on-line, but they do refer you to retailers or online merchants. A friend of mine who runs a gift shop in Monteagle is looking at carrying the product, and I’ll certainly buy some from her if she does, but I couldn’t wait and ended up ordering some from Old Time Candy. This company, which I’d seen profiled on Food Network in the past, is a mail order house specializing in candy with nostalgia appeal — candies which might have been all the rage when you were a child, and which are still in production somewhere, but which are hard to find wherever you are these days. They can put together nostalgia-related gift packs and party favor bags, and have appropriate nostalgia booklets for various decades.
It’s a fun site just to noodle around — I had completely forgotten about Zotz, for example.
