Fizzies Candy Drink Tablets, Lemonade, 12 Count (Pack of 6)

I was actually quite disappointed with this product. I have fond memories of my brother and I, as children, making and imbibing Fizzies soft drinks. I mentioned it to my husband and, sure enough, he had fond memories of the product as well. Seems as though every baby boomer recalls Fizzies and has something to say about it - usually good. Well, I guess this is one of those cases where a memory is best left to just that. What is that old adage - "you can never go home.....etc.I was thrilled when the Fizzies arrived - imagining this delightful, good-tasting drink from my (very distant) past. What's more Fizzies is calorie-free - I can drink as much as I would like. Yeah! Well, then, - plop .... fizz, fizz (it does DOES fizz, just as I recall) and then I took a sip. Yikes! This stuff is absolutely awful - nothing like I recall. Did we really drink this stuff? It tastes like baking soda in water only worse because it has a dreadful after taste from the sweetener, as well. I had all I could do not to spit it out into the sink. Somehow, I do not recall Fizzies tasting anything like this. This just can't be the drink we relished as children - either that or our tastes have morphed considerably. Most likely they changed the recipe and formulation when the whole saccharine issue caused it to go out of existence the first time. I can't recall whether or not it was calorie-free back then. Such issues were simply not relevant to young children. As for now, I am thinking that perhaps it can be used in lieu of a baking soda rinse - recommended by some dentists for people with gum disease.If you enjoyed Fizzies as a youngster, my recommendation to you would be to leave Fizzies to dwell in your mind as an memory. I don't think you will like its current incarnation. My box (yes box - they sell it only in bulk) is now in AZ where I will be working again come Fall. Were that not the case, I would happily send the box or a sample there of to any one who requests it. For all I know, you may love Fizzies and think it is the greatest thing since pimento loaf (with sliced bread). Somehow, though, I do not think such will be the case. I am fairly easy to please when it comes to food and beverage - I like just about everything in that domain but I certainly do NOT like Fizzies. I would strongly recommend that you find Fizzies locally and buy a SMALL box of it before ordering it on Amazon where only the larger quantities are for sale.

Nothing like the zotz of the 70's and 80's! Very saccharine sweet and nothing like the "originals." WAY OVERPRICED AS WELL!

"Just like the old days" or the old days as I remember them. I loved Fizzies in the 50s and 60s. I used two of these new lemon-flavored Fizzies tablets to make a 16-ounce drink, and it tasted just as I remembered.

Its got kind of a bad after taste like aspartame. But it is fun to watch dissolve, and is small and easy to slip in your pocket, purse, and wallet to make plane water taste lemony.

These taste great in water. Just like I remember when I was younger when the original fizzies were out. So good

Not what we had back in the 60's. All I could taste was the artificial sweetener, ick!

We forgot to use these for our sparkling punch but have been using them off and on this past year….They really izz nicely and cause you to have great bubbles in your drinks…would recommend….

Not the same as the original but close. I enjoyed reliving the memories.
