History

Zotz was first introduced by the Italian company G.B. Ambrosoli in 1968. The candy quickly gained popularity due to its unique fizzing sensation, which was a novelty at the time. The candy was later introduced to the United States market, where it continues to be a popular choice among consumers.

Product Description

Zotz is a hard candy that contains a fizzy, sour center. The candy is available in a variety of flavors, including apple, cherry, watermelon, and blue raspberry. The unique fizzing sensation is caused by a combination of baking soda and citric acid, which react together when they come into contact with saliva.

Manufacturing Process

The manufacturing process of Zotz involves creating a hard candy shell and then filling it with a mixture of baking soda and citric acid. The candy is then sealed to prevent the reaction from occurring until the candy is consumed.

Popularity
