Valerie Phillips: Nostalgia may taste better than Fizzies do
9 comments | Read story
Remembering the Fizzies was bad enough, but you HAD to go and bring up the aluminum tumblers!!!
I'm gonna have nighmares...
One of my wife's has fond memories is of sleeping over at her grandma's house and always getting Kool-Aid in aluminum tumblers.
The original Fresca with cyclamates was delicious!
about the size of rice crispies, had a hard candy coating, and when
you put it in your mouth it popped and kind of exploded (probably the same chemical reaction as Fizzies.) I remember my older kids putting these little candies in my baby's mouth (circa 1976) and they thought it was really funny how they popped. I don't remember what the little one's reaction was. According to Wikipedia, "Around 1983, General Foods stopped selling the candy. Some incorrectly believed that this was because of an urban legend that mixing Pop Rocks with carbonated soda could result in a person's stomach exploding."
