Fizzies! These were a packet of tablets that you dropped into a glass of water that started to fizz and transformed into a fizzy soda-pop. Made possible by the artifical sweetener sodium cyclamates. When a rat died of cancer after being given twice it's body weight in cyclamates every day for half of it's life, cyclamates was banned as a carcinogen and that was the end of fizzies. I was reminded of fizzies recently when using a relatively new product called Airborne. Airborne is a dietary supplement that is supposed to prevent cold and flu. It actually works faily well, too. It is a tablet that you drop into water and it fizzes just like fizzies and alka-seltzer. While Alka-Seltzer does not remond me of Fizzies, Airborne did. |
