  • I was in the area and figured hey why not stop at the candy store? When I stepped inside a preteen couple was quite obviously "sampling" a lot of the candy right next to the entrance and there were a few other tweens parading about. Aside from the saltwater taffy section, a lot of the store seems to be designed in a way that makes sense only from an interior designer's point of view. While the center tables of candy look beautifully and meticulously arranged as if it were ready for a photo shoot, there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the organization of the candy which makes it hard if you are searching for a specific item. The selection includes a ton of saltwater taffy, some Nestle candy bars, hard, chewy, gummy candies, novelty candies, and some old school nostalgic selections. There's also fizzy drinks available and Rocket Fizz has their own brand of soda too. There's also a ton of nostalgic tin signs available for purchase hung up on the walls. Is the owner a boozing NRA member? ('Merica!) There seemed to be a disproportionate amount of gun and alcohol related signs which I thought was weird for a candy store. If those signs were at a place like Bass Pro Shops, Bev-Mo or a gun shop, sure I can see those hung up and it would be very fitting. Hey I like booze and target practice almost as much as the next person but it seems out of place right next to your Whirly Pop and chocolate Band-Aids. One stepping into the store with no knowledge of American history might think that the "good 'ol days" consisted of people that vacillated between drinkin' and shootin' things (Might not be too far from the truth). There were also some very cool signs from bands like Motorhead and a fair amount of superhero signs. Overall I did end up finding what I was looking for (A difficult to find nostalgic type hard candy) but only because it was offered in a box right at the counter. I didn't even know there was another section with this type of candy on one of the tables until the cashier went over and brought them over to me. In general I liked the selection at Rocket Fizz but I like the organization of Sweeties a lot better. Sure Sweeties is set up more like a warehouse and their candy layout doesn't look as cool but on a practical level it's so much easier to find and browse through their store.
