This resurgence, however, did not carry enough weight to see them make a full rise to their former glory, and they slowly started to fade in popularity once more. The original Fizzies tablets were made by adding the artificial sweeteners cyclamates and saccharin to medicinal effervescent tablets that the Emerson Drug Company was producing in the s.
After Fizzie s became a product on their own, marketed as a soft-drink and a candy product, the fruit flavoring was added to give Fizzies their array of eight different fizzy flavors. Scientists working on the effervescent drug concept in the Emerson labs discovered that artificial sweeteners could be added to the tablets in order to hide their bitter, chemical, sodium citrate taste. Once it was discovered that children loved the artificially sweetened flavor, more artificial fruit flavoring was added, and so the concept of Fizzies was born: a fruit-flavored, effervescent soda-pop drink derived from a medicinal tablet but with no medicinal value whatsoever — just pure, fizzy, soda-pop fun!
Fizzies were originally made for children after it was discovered that children loved their taste and flavor after artificial sweeteners had been added to Seltzer type effervescent medications. However, after the concept of a sweet fizzy tablet took off amongst children, the concept of the soda-pop Fizzies tablet was born and soon swept across America as a fizzy-drink product of their own in the early s.

I remember when I discovered Fizzies and thought I had found the ultimate in candy. It was the early 60's and I was I was amazed how you could just pop a small flavored disk into water and all of a sudden a sweet drink appeared before your eyes. To me it had to be magic. My dad would take me to the store and with my 50 cents allowance I would buy as much as I could to share with my sisters and friends.
We all would giggle with anticipation waiting for the water to turn into a sweet and delicious drink. My dad was sent to Vietnam and I insisted that we send him some Fizzies in his care package, even though my mom was not quite sure about the appropriateness.
