Fizzies Candy Drink Tablets, Cherry (Pack of 6)

I love fizzies. No calorie, no caffeine. A great way to get extra fluids when you do not like to drink plain water. Got my granddaughter hooked on fizzies. Had to promise her that I would get her her own boxes for her birthday, which I did, and she is only 3. So another generation gets to enjoy these retro candy type drink tablets. And her mother (my daughter) doesn't mind she has them, since there is no sugar or caffeine in them to get her sugared or caffeined up.

These were definitely better when I was 10 and there wasn't any competition in the drink market. The fizz doesn't last very long, and it takes two tablets to make a strong enough beverage. I got these for my son-in-law who is in Afghanistan serving his country. I thought it would make a nice change from plain water. I'm still sending them to him, but with reservations.

I ordered several flavors of fizzies after being surprised they even still exist. It was just a nostalgia rush. And I like that they're no-sugar. They taste about as good as Cool Aid which isn't that good but I somehow enjoy them anyway. They're a quick easy/lazy sugarless drink and if you add them to plain tea it's actually pretty good.

Has a very artificial, yuchy, plastic taste. It's got 70g of salt per tablet...very unhealthy. Someone has coopted the Fizzies name; this is not the product we drank while growing up, this is someone defrauding us old timers using our nostalgia. Please don't let your kids drinks this junk.

... are just that. I remember Fizzies from when I was a kid. All I remember was that my mom would get me the red ones, which I liked best. Maybe those were strawberry, but I ordered cherry, as that is the only red one I could find.Your kids may like them. But as an adult, they've lost their magic for me.

Sadly I ended up discarding the unused tablets. Very weak flavor, I had to use 2 or 3 tablets for a glass of water. Also artificially 'sweetened' so be prepared to add some more sweetener of your choice. Not what they used to be, which is sad and strange considering the original recipe was a winner for decades! But sadly, someone had to try and improve it and in the process destroyed a classic. Save your money, and treasured memories. Pass this one up.

I grew up with FIzzzies. Still tastes the same as far as I remember. Hopefully I can get to try some of the other flavors. My grandchildren have fun with them. LOL Good Product!!

Well they arrived and we tried them. They were OK but they sure tasted better when we were little kids. But I sure am glad they are still available.
