You can find them in apple, cherry, watermelon, blue raspberry, strawberry, grape and orange. They made their way to US store shelves in 1968 and have been a great hit ever since! Where flavors do Zotz come in? ZotZ were originally manufactured in Italy by G.B.Ambrosoli SPA in Ronago Italy. Zotz – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s) When did Zotz Candy come out? Read -> Ricolino Duvalin – A 2-in-1 Mexican Candy with Delicious Flavors They are a bit nostalgic, so for most adults over the age of 40 they will bring back some childhood memories. We can’t say this enough…kids love them! And adults of all ages really enjoy them too. The result is a fun and delightful experience! The mild sour flavor of the ingredients produces a fizzing sensation. The sour powder is made of malic and tartaric acids that are mixed with sodium bicarbonate. But…when you get into the center you get a fizzy, tart explosion!Īfter you suck on them for a bit, the outer shell starts to dissolve the sour powder inside hits your tastebuds and mixes with your saliva. So the initial taste is like a typical fruit flavored hard candy. ZotZ are a unique candy – they are a hard candy with a fizzy, sour center. So it was a fun prank! What do Zotz Taste Like? In the 70’s people often gave them to someone as a prank because sour candies were new and the person you were giving one too had no idea what they were about to experience. With two ZZs in FIZZ and two ZZs in ZOTZ, the name stuck, and the first order of ZOTZ candy was shipped in July 1970. Soon, all the neighborhood kids were pestering him for more of “that funny fizzy candy!”Īt the time, Frank was in the habit of saying, “Don’t give me the Zotz,” if he thought someone was pulling his leg. He gave the box of candy to his children. In 1970, Frank Landrey returned from Europe with some Italian candies he had received as a gift. Zotz – An Italian Candy That Went Global.The candy itself doesn’t taste extraordinarily good, but the fizz component elevates Zotz to an OM. I loved giving these to my friends, not telling them what Zotz are, and watching their surprised but pleased reactions to the fizz. It’s a pretty awesome mouthfeel experience. Unlike the Jones Soda Candy, the Zotz fizz is really in your face (or on your tongue, I guess) and leaves you foaming in the mouth. The fizz is supposed to be sour, but I found it not so much sour as “burns your throat”. Zotz are all very smooth in taste and texture and contain an ample amount of fizz. The apple Zotz was better than the Jones Soda Candy due to its creaminess and its awesome fizz factor. The apple was a smooth and creamy green apple taste that was a dead ringer for the Jones Soda Candy that I tried a while back. I’m not a huge fan of red candies, so that may have been part of it. I can’t put my finger on why no cough drop cherry taste issues or anything like that. Unlike the watermelon, it wasn’t exactly pleasantly different. Like the watermelon, the cherry was different from the usual Jolly Rancher hard candy-style flavor. ![]() Interestingly enough, as you can see from the picture, it was more pink than red. The cherry Zotz was darker than the watermelon, both in color and in taste.
