Rocket Fizz is a good old fashion candy and soda chain that is located all over the country. I just learned that there was a location near me, so I had to head there right away to get a chocolate bar from my childhood. When I walked in my mouth hit the floor and I just looked around and said wow. I've been into Nostalgia candy places before, but none like this.
First off there not just a old-fashioned candy shop, they have some novelties and they boast 500 flavors of soda. Now I didn't count them, but they are all over the store and I'm willing to bet that's accurate. They have three cold merchandising displays that have several flavors in there if you wanted to get one and try it cold right away. Then they also have 103 different types of taffy. They have a small bag bag that if you fill to the top is 6.99, or a larger bag that is 8.99.They also have maybe 10 to 12 individual piece old-fashioned candies that you could intermingle if you wanted. Unfortunately I didn't ask how much they were just per piece, but most people that I saw came in just fill their bag with all different kinds of taffy and weren't going to stop at just one piece.
As you looked around you see candies from different places in the world, some things that you may have seen in your life, or depending on your age maybe your parents or grandparents have seen. Everything in there brought back such good memories of when I was a kid and just made me feel super happy. If you stop in here unless you know exactly what you're getting, you can expect to walk around and look at everything 10 times before seeing it all. You will spend at least a half an hour and it will be a great half an hour.
During my time here with my friends, we saw about 15 people come in and every single one of them had a big smile on their face when they came in and when they left. If you want a little taste of the past, or want to share with your kids or younger people in your life something from your childhood I definitely recommend coming in. The sodas are $2.29 each or you can get a six pack for a discount also. They have weird flavors like grass, dirt, hot buffalo wings, or if you're just looking for 25 different types of root beer, or actual ginger beer, or just cola from different places they have it. There are also some old timey toys that made me smile and think about things I had when I was a kid.
