All the fun and flavor of the original Fizzies is back. Once upon a time in the '50s -'60s there was a popular drink tablet that fizzed when placed in water. The idea derived from scientists working with chemical formulas similar to "Bromo Seltzer" and wondering if a fun, fruit flavored drink could be developed the same way.
Fizzies were made in grape, cherry, orange, punch, berry, lemon-lime, and root beer flavors and 8 tablets cost 19 cents. Unfortunately Fizzies contained the sugar substitute cyclamate. In the FDA banned the use of cyclamates citing research showing that cyclamates caused cancer in laboratory animals and the company went out of business.
They returned in the mids containing NutriSweet, a substitute times sweeter than sugar. A new company purchased the formula and reintroduced them to the market in Fizzies not only taste good they are good for you too, much better to drink on a hot summer day than a can of pop. Impress your friends by dropping a drink tablet into cold water and watching them fizz before their very eyes and get a great tasting drink on top of it. Fizzies tablets are available in many delicious flavors to choose from including Blue Raspberry,Root Beer,Cherry and Lemonade.
This was after it was found that they caused certain kinds of cancer in laboratory testing animals. The drink tablets made a resurgence onto the market in the mids when Premiere Innovations Inc. This resurgence, however, did not carry enough weight to see them make a full rise to their former glory, and they slowly started to fade in popularity once more. The original Fizzies tablets were made by adding the artificial sweeteners cyclamates and saccharin to medicinal effervescent tablets that the Emerson Drug Company was producing in the s.
After Fizzie s became a product on their own, marketed as a soft-drink and a candy product, the fruit flavoring was added to give Fizzies their array of eight different fizzy flavors. Scientists working on the effervescent drug concept in the Emerson labs discovered that artificial sweeteners could be added to the tablets in order to hide their bitter, chemical, sodium citrate taste.
Once it was discovered that children loved the artificially sweetened flavor, more artificial fruit flavoring was added, and so the concept of Fizzies was born: a fruit-flavored, effervescent soda-pop drink derived from a medicinal tablet but with no medicinal value whatsoever — just pure, fizzy, soda-pop fun!
Fizzies were originally made for children after it was discovered that children loved their taste and flavor after artificial sweeteners had been added to Seltzer type effervescent medications. However, after the concept of a sweet fizzy tablet took off amongst children, the concept of the soda-pop Fizzies tablet was born and soon swept across America as a fizzy-drink product of their own in the early s.
Although originally made-for and inspired by children, Fizzies soon became a family favorite and were enjoyed in eight different flavors.
