How to Make Fizzies Drinks
Fizzies drink tablets, created in the 1950s, allowed kids to make their own soda by dropping an effervescent tablet into a glass of water. After the Food and Drug Administration banned some artificial sweeteners, Fizzies' formula changed and eventually disappeared from the market. Fizzies drink tablets are now back in the candy aisle and once again you can make your own soda. Does this Spark an idea?
