My parents had come to town and my mom was asking if I knew the name of this candy that had licorice in it. I had somewhat of an idea of what she was talking about but couldn't think of the name. I searched Yelp for old-fashioned candy and Rocket Fizz came up in the search. I remember other Yelpers talking about this place so during the time they were here we made an effort to head over to this side of town!
This is a really fun store! You walk in and its a sugar galore! So many things to choose from. We scanned the shelves for the candy my mom was looking for and didn't see the candy and finally she asked. The woman behind the counter knew the name but they do not carry it which was a bummer.
I did pick up some favorites the Curley Wurley(a reminder of my time spent in England), the Chick o' Stick and a bottle of Dad's Orange Cream Soda which reminded me of the local bar that we ate at as a kid.
My dad was laughing at the signs that they had lined along the walls. They were pretty funny. There was one with 4 Evergreen trees. One had been cut down and the saying said "Who Cut One" We couldn't help but laugh! I may have to send that to him for Christmas!
I'll go back here another time for sure! I can't wait!
