| - Looking for a few more stocking stuffers for my husband, I naturally searched for candy stores on Yelp. Knowing he likes his unusual sodas as well as candy, I drove the 20 miles to Rocket Fizz. Staffed by an older man with a big personality and a (too) young boy, the store was clean, well-organized, and meticulously faced. I asked for and got some good suggestions on sodas (the mix-&-match 6 pack for $9.99 is a good deal). As far as the candy goes, there were more grocery store staples than I would have expected, and some of the more unusual candy from foreign countries was out-of-date. Way out-of-date. Like Feb 2011. In the end, I did find a few things I knew he'd like, and when I got home, he said he had seen these guys at the AZ State Fair- they had had a booth in the Expo building, and he was looking forward to breaking into the sodas, even the Kitty Piddle and Corn flavors.
