There are tantalizing clues on the net, but all seem to lead to dead ends. If anyone knows, please let me know. Thanks!

It was discontinued again, as The Rogue mentioned. They re-introduced them a few years ago but they weren't successful. One company bought the remainder of the stock and is selling it, but I don't know the name of the company. There was a similar candy in the 70's or 80's. I think it was called "Pop Rocks" and it was a hard sucking candy with sodium bicarbonate inside so it would start fizzing in your mouth after a while.

Small amounts of carbonation are released causing a mild "exploding" sensation and "sizzling" noise" Link: http://www.poprockscandy.com/history.html Fri Oct 31 11:06:56 -0800 2003 1426803 0 hilldweller 3 1426808 Fizzies are not like pop rocks. Pop rocks are a candy, still being sold, that is large powder granules that actually pop and explode in your mouth. Fizzies are a flavored alka seltzer type wafer you put in water to make instant soda. Fri Oct 31 13:18:24 -0800 2003 1426804 0 The Rogue 4 1426810 I should have somehow said, "similar in novelty appeal because of the fizzing." I found fizzies available for sale at Archie Mcphee: "Fizzies candy is back from the '70s, and tailored to '90s tastes; it's fat-free, sugar-free and enriched with vitamin C. Plus it's fun - drop a Fizzies tablet into 6-8 ounces of cold water and it fizzes like crazy, then dissolves into a brightly colored, syrupy, flat soda. The package suggests you try it in milk, which doesn't sound like such a good idea to us, but you can do whatever you want. You get 4 different flavors in 8 packages with 6 tablets in each" Link: http://www.mcphee.com/amusements/current/M5362tr.html Fri Oct 31 13:56:01 -0800 2003 1426808 0 hilldweller 3 1427258 Pop Rocks are the best ever!!! The pop and fizzle in your mouth, they taste awsome, plus they can be used as an explosive!!

"Fizzies: Made in grape, cherry, orange, punch, berry, lemon-lime, and root beer flavors, Fizzies were a popular drink tablet that fizzed when placed in water. An instant soda pop! In the 50’s and 60’s eight tablets cost only 19 cents! Both the packaging and advertising images created for Fizzies will create an explosion on Junior apparel similar to the excitement created when the Fizzies tablet first hit water."
