Whatever happened to... Fizz Bombs?
Junior School
I used to go crazy over them when at Junior school (around 1982). The ingredients were probably banned by the EC for being too tasty.

yes!!! They had the texture of a crunchy bar but were fizzy sour. They were sold out of ice cream vans in Watford in the 80's.They are sadly missed

Fizz bombs
Candy about the size of an average lollipop, the shape of a sphere that had been squashed slightly. Light and airy, kind of like cinder toffee, but fruit flavoured with a fizzy coating. I remember them being red but I'm sure there were other flavours.

You used to get orange, lemon, and raspberry ones. Bright yellow, orange and pink. They were round and had a rough sherbety coating on the outside. The raspberry ones are the best not bothered about the others. Used to get them in pick and mixes but not seen for a few years........

Fizz bombs were great, they came in many colours, but the black ones were called "Coals from Newcastle" and I think the white ones might have had an alternative name too, probably something to do with snow?

Fizz bomb
Fizzy round sweet, hard, but goes chewy in mouth,about same diameter as a 10p piece. I think they came in more than one flavour, but I remember the strawberry ones. This would have been late seventies to early eighies. Sold in jars.

Hello
Any idea where I can get a few jars of the old favourite "Fizz Bombs"

I remember my local sweet shop taking down a few jars and telling me that they weren't allowed to sell them any more! That would be around '82-'83.

metal mickeys favorite eh?
are the 'fizz balls' on the website similar to what you'r thinking perhaps?

Sadly Fizz Bombs are no longer made. The company was sold back in 1996 and then the new owners went bust in 2000.
