Sometime in the 1950s someone thought to themselves "Man", they thought, "this fizzy powder in the middle of my Hoppy Pop is so good. It's great. It's the whole reason I suck on Hoppy Pops. Why can't I just have a whole bag of this fizzy stuff? This fizzy stuff is, in fact, a snack in its own right." And, at that moment, Wizz Fizz was born.
The spoons didn't happen immediately. There was a brief flirtation with licorice stick straws, through which people would suck their Wizz Fizz. Though the idea of imbibing powder through straws has taken off in other industries, the people behind the ‘fizz that makes you wizz' had other ideas. Tiny plastic spoons made Wizz Fizz the perfect date snack. People were feeding one another Australia's iconic sherbet at the drive in.
Sure, certain kids launched scams, wrote letters to Wizz Fizz claiming their bag came with no spoon, attempted to request extra bags of the fizz as compensation. But the real fans know Wizz Fizz always comes with a spoon. Wizz Fizz is something we can rely on; the powdery backbone of all our childhoods.
Unlike the Muppets, Wizz Fizz has rejected Disney, so if you're on the lookout for your old fizzy friend, you won't find Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Pluto or Uncle Scrooge on the packets no more. Now it's Screaming Mimi, Gross Gus, Weird Wally, Mad Myron, Nerdy Neil and Doctor Freak. Six of the best.
