Once upon a time in the '50s -'60s there was a popular drink tablet that fizzed when placed in water.  FIZZIES® were invented by the Emerson Drug Company. 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. 

"Wouldn't it be grand if we could drop a tablet in a glass of water and have an instant soda pop?" After long hard work, they finally figured out how to combine the right combinations of fruit flavoring, sweetener, citric acid and sodium bicarbonate (a substance that is much like baking soda) into a magical tablet that when dropped into water, turned water into an instant sparkling, effervescent fruit drink!

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 1968 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 mid-1990s containing NutriSweet, a substitute 200 times sweeter than sugar.  A new company purchased the formula and reintroduced them to the market in 1995. It was short lived because the company went out of business and all of the inventory was gone by late 2001.

And now, in 2006 Fizzies are available again.  The fun, effervescent drink tablet made popular in the 50’s & 60’s has returned! Whether you're a genuine kid or simply a kid at heart, now you can enjoy the crisp, refreshing drink that everybody loves to make!

It happened back in '63, I was 5 and my Big sister was 13. We were enjoying our Root Beer Fizzies "straight"... no water. She licked the tablet and it foamed wonderfully, she told me to lick mine and swallow it... I did (remember I was 5) the tablet became lodged in my throat foaming away, scarring my sister and Mother to death. They hung me upside down and slapped my back like a drum. Everything turned out fine but to this day anytime someone mentions Fizzies I laugh til I cry. I still love 'em. ~ Ed from Georgia
