The popular effervescent drink tablets that were a hit in the 1950's -early '70's has returned as a healthier, great-tasting and most importantly, fun beverage that kids love to make and those young at heart will enjoy once again. Packed with Vitamin C, the new FIZZIES Drink Tablets contain all the magic of making your own fruity, fizzy drink by simply dropping a FIZZIES tablet into a cool glass of water and watching it fizz before you enjoy drinking it.

They appeal to parents, grandparents and kids alike who enjoy the do-it-yourself fun of having a FIZZIES drink. FIZZIES are made by the Twin Cities-based company, Amerilab Technologies Inc., the nation's leader in the development, manufacturing and packaging of effervescent tablets.

From HERE (http://www.fizzies.com/thenandnownew.html):

Today FIZZIES® are the drink kids love to make and those young at heart will enjoy once again! In 2005, Amerilab Technologies purchased the Fizzies trademark and began manufacturing Fizzies as their own product. The tablets are now sweetened with sucralose (Splenda), and not only taste great, but are low in calories and have 100% Vitamin C in each tablet. New this Spring is our two new flavors Cherry Cola and Grape which are the two most requested FIZZIES flavors. These effervescent tablets (sold in 12ct boxes) dissolve quickly in 8oz of water and fit into the top of any water bottle. The sweet confectionary scent is quite captivating and the taste is remarkable coming from a flavored tablet. The much anticipated return of Cherry Cola and Grape FIZZIES are sure to be a hit with all generations of FIZZIES fans.

I remember them back in the late 50's,they tasted just like soda's ,when they became popular the Coca Cola co. bought them out and done away with it. I'm not sure if is the original formula but I know they were better then sodas.

Norm,I'm not sure if they even used or had Saccharine in the 50's.

From the same link as above:

Then, in 1968, the FDA came out and banned the the artificial sweeteners used to make Fizzies, called cyclamates. Cyclamates were an essential part of making Fizzies tablets, and the scientist didn't know how to reformulate.

Good find,I remember Cyclamates

I especially liked the Root Beer. :seasix: Thanks for the update. Sometimes you are looking at that bottle of water and wished you could add something to it. Now you can have a couple of flavors in your pocket.

I remember those from 100 years ago when I was a kid! :dance:

We were crazy about them.Those tablets were about the size of an Alka-seltzer and fizzed just as much.

Remember having a dare/contest with your friends to see who could put a whole Fizzie in their mouth and just hold it there the longest? Man, the things we thought up to do before video games were invented.
