ZotZ

To understand the history of ZotZ candy, you have to travel way back in time. During the Cold War, the world had an obsession with all things outer space. What’s more, UFO sightings were at an all-time high and people had an innate fascination with rocket ships. The Zotz! 1962 movie was also hugely popular around the world. The plot followed a man mysteriously gaining magical powers from the god of an ancient civilization. It’s no wonder that it was at this time that explosive, mystical treats also became a massive trend. The zeitgeist was all about science-fiction, magic, and superpowers. We wanted them and we wanted them bad! In 1968, these fizzy, Italian snacks first hit shelves in the United States. The tangy ZotZ flavors have been a hit all over the country ever since!

If you’ve never had the pleasure of tasting ZotZ candy for yourself, the experience is hard to describe. While the treats look seemingly innocent to an untrained eye, they hide a secret deep inside them. From the moment you pop one of these into your mouth, you have a completely new taste sensation. The fizzy candy does just what it says on the tin. It whizzes, fizzes, and bubbles up in seconds! It’s weird, wonderful.. and you won’t be able to get enough of it. Do you like the sound of that?
