ZotZ (candy) facts for kids
ZotZ is a fun candy that's known for its exciting fizzy, sour center! It's a type of hard candy made in Italy by a company called G.B. Ambrosoli. When you pop a ZotZ in your mouth, you'll notice a mild sour taste, and then a cool fizzing sensation. This fizz comes from a special powder inside called sherbet.
ZotZ Flavors
ZotZ candies come in many yummy flavors. You can find them in apple, cherry, watermelon, blue raspberry, strawberry, grape, and orange. These candies are still made today and you can often find them in stores!
What Makes ZotZ Fizzy?
The fizzy, sour kick in ZotZ candy comes from a few special ingredients. These include things like malic acid and tartaric acid, which give it that sour taste. The fizzing happens because of sodium bicarbonate, which is also known as baking soda. When it mixes with your saliva, it creates tiny bubbles, making the candy fizz!
Remember, different flavors might have slightly different ingredients, especially when it comes to the colors. It's always a good idea to check the wrapper if you want to know exactly what's inside your candy.
