I've been to a lot of different Rocket Fizz locations and they are all more alike than different.
And that's a good thing.
I love the diverse selection of candy and novelty items. Rocket Fizz stores have such a fun vibe.
I love that Rocket Fizz carries really obscure old timey candy bars (like Zero Bars, so good served frozen).
And I love their huge selection of Salt Water Taffy. I never actually buy Salt Water Taffy here, but I enjoy what the seemingly endless barrels of the stuff contribute to the aesthetic.
It's the same thing with the facsimile posters that cover the walls of every Rocket Fizz. Super fun to look at while shopping. Don't really need to own any.
Another great thing about Rocket Fizz is that they stock a wide variety of imported candy. You jonesing for a Lion Bar or a coconut filled Bounty Bar, don't even trip. You can get your fix here.
And what's so cool about this particular Rocket Fizz location is they had a lot of versions of familiar candy bars that I had never seen before.
Maybe they have these selections at all Rocket Fizz locations these days. I dunno. But this is the first time I saw a bunch of these versions.
Berry Whip Snickers. Butterscotch Snickers. Strawberry Snickers, Passion Fruit Snickers. So many weird Snickers. I gotta get me a Butterscotch one.
Sea Salt Rocky Road was new to me too. Rocky Road is one of my candy bars, and I bet the Sea Salt version is fantastic.
I might never know. I rarely buy candy at Rocket Fizz because their prices are exorbitant.
For me, Rocket Fizz is a fun place to visit but I mostly buy my candy elsewhere.
The only thing I buy at Rocket Fizz with any regularity is Root Beer. They have a pretty good selection of pure cane sugar Root Beers.
But again, the price per bottle is crazy high. Yeah, you get a little bit of a discount when you buy larger quantities but still, the prices are steep.
Nevertheless, when my Root Beer supply gets too low and I don't feel like making a pilgrimage down to Galco's, I'm super happy Rocket Fizz is there for me.
And every once in a while I'll splurge for one of those overpriced candy bars. Sometimes a Euro candy bar hits just right.
