Rocket Fizz

Rocket Fizz is hands down, one of the best stores I have ever come across, recently. The setting makes you feel like you have stepped back in time to when five and dime stores were in common, plus the variety of candy and drinks are incredible! I highly recommend this place to future customers.

Great assortment of weird flavored sodas, some nostalgic candies, and an assortment of newer sour candy, toy gags, and salt water taffy. Prices are ok, considering the size and location of the store.

I've gone once or twice since they opened. I find the store to be a nice shop for the Decatur area and it's a quick walk from the train. They have a great variety of sodas and candy within the store, some on the wilder side as far as flavor. I haven't indulged yet but I look forward to doing so in the future.

Largest selection of interesting flavor drinks and salt water Taffy I've seen. Only place I can get maple bacon Taffy and sweet corn soda if I want it. Extremely friendly staff encourage you to stuff your Taffy bag to the point you'd think there was a black hole at the bottom of your bag...and help you find room for more!!! I love this store. Great atmosphere and such a nice selection of goodies!

This was my first time in Rocket Fizz, depsiting having lived near it for something like 2.5 years. And, I have to say, the store is pretty cool! It's a huge space, and the layout of it is very open, which is nice when searching through the endless bottles of soda. There is also a ton of candy for sale, as well as some funky signs and cermanic mugs. But, don't be mistaken, this store is all about the soda! There were flavors like Butter, Bacon which the store clerk said tastes terrible!, Ranch Dressing, and Martian Poop. There were also a lot of fruity flavors and some traditional flavors like Coke, Sprite, and Root Beer. : Rocket Fizz also bottles some of their own flavors such as the Doomsday Lemonade! It would have been cool if they had some international sodas. They had a couple from Germany, but my partner was really hoping for a particular Brazilian one he likes. The candy selection could have been better as well, though if you love Taffy, this place is for you! : Overall, really cool store, and it is one I wish I had discovered sooner.

This is a candy store. Candy stores are frequented almost exclusively by children, accompanied by their parents. Why, then, does this store, which is otherwise a fun place for kids, bedeck its walls with a vast array of adult-themed aka trashy joke signs? Sell them, if you must, but don't display them where the kids are shopping. Yes, I'm old--old enough to have good manners and good taste. The owners of this place have neither. I would not recommend taking children who can read to this store.

I wish I could find what I'm looking for in this store. If you want to walk in and buy random candy an incredibly high price, this is the right place. If you have a specific candy in mind, good luck. Do not shop here if you are looking for a specific type of candy. I'm not kidding. They might have it in stock, but you will have to work for it. There's no sense to the way the inventory is merchandised. Rather than grouping similar products or brands or flavors, lots of the candy seems to be arranged depending on what somebody thought would look neat stacked up or fanned out or constructed into a a tiny bridge...it got old quickly. Then, when I hit the cash register and realized that I was about to drop $20 on old fashioned candy sticks and Zots, I knew that I had been played for a fool. This store isn't cute enough to be inconvenient and expensive. A little customer service never hurt either, but I get it, it's hard to talk to people when you're all potted up at work. It's cool. Thanks for the sticker, that was a nice touch.

Something for everyone! Taffy, nostalgic candies from my childhood and earlier, novelty items and every soda flavor imaginable! No free parking but right behind the building is cheap parking, plus pay-at-the-meter out front.

This is a great place to get unusual candy. They have old favorites as well. There are many different types of sodas. But the best part is the customer service. They are nice and helpful.

Take a walk down memory lane if you frequented a penny candy store in your youth. Lots of nifty bottled drinks including many types of ginger ale my favorite. They are not cheap. Lots of candy faces from yesteryear as well.
