Wizz Fizz facts for kids
Wizz Fizz is a super fun Australian candy! It's a type of fizzy powder called sherbet. An Australian company called Fyna Foods makes it.
You can usually find Wizz Fizz in small paper packets, each holding about 12.5 grams of the fine powder. It's often sold in corner stores and supermarkets. One cool thing about Wizz Fizz is that it comes with a tiny plastic shovel inside! This little shovel helps you eat the sherbet right from the packet without making a mess.
The Story of Wizz Fizz
Wizz Fizz has been around for a long time! When it first came out, from 1966 to 1996, the packets had famous Disney characters on them.
Later, from 2002 to 2007, the Disney characters were replaced with new, quirky characters like "Screaming Mimi" and "Weird Wally." Then, in 2011, Wizz Fizz got a fresh new look with a cool planet theme and new characters to match.
Wizz Fizz is a very popular candy that many people still love today. Fyna Foods makes more than 16 million packets of Wizz Fizz every year at their factory in Melbourne, Australia!
