In the ever-evolving world of confections, certain candies stand the test of time, evoking cherished memories with every bite. One such nostalgic treat is Lotsa Fizz—a candy that has delighted taste buds for decades with its unique fizzy surprise. At YEG Exotic, Edmonton's go-to destination for rare and international treats, we are thrilled to bring this classic candy back to the forefront for both long-time fans and new enthusiasts.
A Blast from the Past: The Legacy of Lotsa Fizz
Lotsa Fizz, sometimes simply known as “Fizz,” is a distinctive candy that combines a hard outer shell with a fizzy powder centre. This combination creates an effervescent sensation, making each piece a delightful experience. Traditionally, Lotsa Fizz candies are individually wrapped and often come in a connected strip, reminiscent of classic candy packaging from the past.
The original flavours—cherry, grape, and orange—have been joined by newer additions like green apple and blue raspberry, offering a spectrum of fruity tastes to explore. Each bite is an explosion of flavour, followed by a fizzy kick that keeps candy lovers coming back for more.
The Science Behind the Fizz
The magic of Lotsa Fizz lies in its effervescent core. The fizzy sensation is achieved through a combination of tartaric acid and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). When these ingredients come into contact with moisture—such as saliva—they react to produce carbon dioxide gas, resulting in that signature fizzing effect that tickles the tongue and adds an element of surprise to the candy-eating experience.
This same fun science is what makes fizz candies so unique and exciting compared to traditional hard sweets. The surprise factor is half the fun, making Lotsa Fizz a perfect treat for kids and adults alike.
