 In
the 1950s, chemists at Emerson Drug Company (the creators of Bromo-Seltzer) worked to create a
fun drink tablet
that when added to water, would create instant soda pop.
Once perfected, they named their invention Fizzies®
and introduced it in 1957.
It was a hit all over the United States.
With one little tablet and a glass of water, Fizzies released its magical fizz,
creating a perfectly sweet, effervescent drink.
 Interestingly,
the marketing was directed at adults as well as children. One 1959
magazine ad asked, "Sugar taboo? Here's the drink for you!"
The
formula for the product changed with the times and as various artificial
sweeteners were banned by the FDA - It had been sweetened with cyclamates,
sucaryl, and saccharine. At one point, while the brand was owned by
Warner-Lambert Pharmaceutical Company, it was sold unsweetened with the
instructions calling for the addition of "one tablespoon
 of sugar and ice."
After the introduction of
NutraSweet, the brand was resurrected by Premiere Innovations, Inc. in the
mid-90s but
its availability was short-lived.
Nearly a decade has passed
since it was last sold and now, with a
formulation that is better than ever, Fizzies are available once again to a
new generation
of kids
(and kids at heart).
 If you are looking for an alternative
to soda pop and sugared drinks, try Fizzies. The size and shape make them
convenient for carrying along in pocket, purse, glove box or backpack.
They also are small enough to fit through the mouth of standard water bottles.
They are available in seven popular
flavors — sour apple, lemon-lime, root beer, cherry, orange, blue razz and
fruit punch!
What Are Fizzies?
Fizzies are effervescent tablets that turn ordinary water
into colorful, great-tasting soft drinks that are calorie-free and contain a
daily recommended dose of vitamin C. So they are not just good, they are
good for you too!
Drop one of seven delicious Fizzies tablets into cold water and
watch them fizz before their very eyes.
Drop tablet into
