[h=3]When I was young I remember Fizzies, I thought they were the coolest candy fizzing water flavoring. They were very addicting. Anyone else remember these.
I may even start carrying these in my store for hunting season and survival items.[/h][h=3][/h][h=3]The History of FIZZIES...[/h]FIZZIES were first created in 1956 by Emerson Drug Company (creators of Bromo-Seltzer), in Baltimore, Maryland. The scientists working at Emerson wondered if a fun, fruit flavored drink could be developed and after some long hours, they finally figured it out! Emerson Drug sold FIZZIES regionally and in 1956, Emerson Drug merged with Warner-Lambert Pharmaceutical Company of Morris Plains, New Jersey. Warner-Lambert Pharmaceutical went national with the FIZZIES brand in 1962 and had great success!
In 1968, the FDA banned the artificial sweetener used to make FIZZIES, called cyclamates. Cyclamates were an essential part of making Fizzies tablets, and the scientist didn't know how to reformulate. Retailers sold their remaining stock until 1970 but then FIZZIES disappeared from shelves. In 1995, a new owner of the FIZZIES trademark contacted an effervescent specialist at Amerilab Technologies in Minnesota to reformulate and manufacture FIZZIES using aspartame. FIZZIES were back on the market, but their re-emergence was short-lived. The company that owned the trademark unfortunately went out of business in 1996, and FIZZIES disappeared again.
