Fizzy Sweets

What are Fizzy Sweets?

Fizzy sweets are confections coated in a sharp, acidic sugar mixture, usually citric or tartaric acid, that creates a sour sensation on the tongue. Brands like Haribo, Barratt, and Astro offer fizzy sweets in shapes like belts, bottles, and rings, perfect for pick 'n' mix and party bags.

Many fizzy sweets trace back to British retro sweet shops from the 70s, 80s, and 90s, where penny sweets lined the counter in big jars. That nostalgic sour-sweet hit is exactly why classic retro sweets from that era still outsell newer varieties today.
