Rocket Fizz - Soda Pop and Candy Shop — Attraction in Kalamazoo

I am a 49.5 year old woman with a sixteen year old son named Thor, I have stars tattooed on both of my cheekbones, any time I see a swing set I HAVE to give it a whirl, and I will hop happily through any sidewalk hopscotch grid I see scribbled on the ground to this day. Age has nothing to do with having fun and seeing wonder wherever and whenever one can, in my eyes. So, wandering into this fantastic emporium that is the perfect tribute to childhood joys really made an ordinary Tuesday brighter. Everywhere you look there is candy-the literal kind, as well as colorful eye candy in the form of nostalgic toys, gag gifts, so much more. My husband and I knew we would impulsively spend our month's grocery budget on Pop Rocks and anything BUT practical things, so we happily spent five on a few fun little bits and bobs and left. What we left with in the brown paper bag made us happier than the high-tech TV we spent a hundred times more on...and to me, that is the magic and the entire point of this store. We can forget it is the little things that can bring the color back to our rainbows. Anyone have two cups on a string I can borrow? I need to make a...

If you've ever wanted to try ranch, dill pickle, or buttered popcorn soda -this is the place for you. They have an insane variety of crazy pops and retro candies with a soft backdrop of 80's metal/hairband music. My husband was in love. However, prices are steep. Each soda is $2.29 (combo packs knock a little off) and the candy is unmarked which led to a bit of a surprise at the register -we spent $25 on 8 sodas, gum balls, a blowpop, a Charleston chew, and Zotz. If you have a keen eye, you can get many of the beverages and candies for half the price elsewhere. Hefty prices aside, it really is a cool little store.

Note: because the sodas are specialty, you can only return your empty deposits back...
