If you’re looking for a sweet treat with a throwback vibe, then it’s time to visit Rocket Fizz Soda Pop and Candy Shop in Duluth! This one-stop shop for sweet cravings offers over 150 soda flavors and candies of all shapes and sizes. We did a vintage soda and candy taste test with a few DiG team members and trust us, these nostalgic treats are sure to satisfy everyone’s cravings! 

Bazooka Bubble Gum Soda: 
I remember snacking on Bazooka bubble gum as a child while singing that silly song that pairs with the candy. This soda flavor smelled just like a piece of bubble gum! It had a light, fruity taste that was not as strong as a traditional bubble gum flavor. It was surprising and refreshing! 

Death Valley Sarsaparilla: 
If you are a root beer fan, then this is definitely your beverage! Sarsaparilla gained popularity in the United States around the 19th century and is made from the tropical Smilax plant that has been used throughout history to treat arthritis, psoriasis and syphilis. Similar to root beer, it has a sweet vanilla, as well as a bitter, “earthy” taste! 

Candies of the 1950s Mystery Bag: 
In this mystery bag, we found a couple of familiar candies, such as Bazooka Bubble Gum and the classic caramel Sugar Babies. However, there were also a few we had never seen or heard of before. One favorite was a peanut butter bar topped with flakey coconut called Zagnut, which had a crunchy consistency similar to a Butterfinger. Another unfamiliar candy was a chewy, fruity sweet named Chuckles. This one gave me a chuckle because of its similarity to Dots, one of my favorites! 

If you have a sweet tooth then be sure to make a Rocket Fizz stop when you’re in Duluth. It’s the perfect place to travel back in time and feel like the ultimate kid in a candy shop!
