A real breakthrough among candies was made by the fizzy candy. It’s interesting to learn about the secrets of the manufacturer, and also to break down the formula for the success of sweets point by point.
The key to taste
So, the highlight of the candy is its extraordinary taste, which is achieved with the help of a special filling. It, in turn, consists of powder, which is ordinary baking soda. The soda and citric acid, which are part of the candy, combine in the mouth, and the chemical reaction occurs. The soda is simply extinguished. Due to this, bubbles and hissing appear. But most doctors say that excessive consumption of such candies containing soda can negatively affect the condition of the gastric mucosa. Popsicle candy has a particularly negative effect on people with low acidity gastric juice.
but on the other hand
It is very undesirable to overdo it and eat a huge portion at a time, as these delicious sweets can harm your health. Fizzy drink, which contains only carbohydrates, is also not suitable for people on a diet and adherence to healthy eating. In the ratio of proteins/fats/carbohydrates, only the latter are present, and in huge quantities. The calorie content of candies is too high due to the high sugar content, and chemical flavors and dyes can cause allergies. Therefore, the composition of the sweet is not as harmless as it seems at first glance.
And this is not a complete list of undesirable consequences that may arise after consuming fizzy drinks. Lollipops have a particularly aggressive effect on the gastrointestinal tract of children. Besides, high content sugar is harmful, because it can contribute to the development of obesity and diabetes mellitus. Parents should monitor not only the amount of candy eaten, but also the “correctness” of actions. After all, mischievous people often try to inhale the powder from the pop, and this is fraught with an unpleasant burning sensation in the nasal cavity, sneezing and slight burns of the mucous membrane. The pop candy itself can become sharp and injure your gums or tongue. Sweets provoke the development of caries; the acid in sweets affects the strength of the enamel. And with frequent use, it can set your teeth on edge, after which it will be unpleasant to eat other foods. If at the moment of aftertaste you feel a burning sensation in the stomach, heartburn and other unpleasant sensations, then you should avoid this type of lollipop.
Popularity of the candy
But, despite all the disadvantages and prohibitions, the fizzy drink has conquered the sweet tooth. First of all, because of its originality, its dissimilarity to other typical candies like lollipop or barberry. And this is a real triumph for confectioners!
The fizzy candy evokes only positive emotions in children and their parents. It lifts your spirits, allows you to relax and take your mind off problems, making the world brighter for a few moments. All these are the effects of your favorite sweets.
Alternative options
Many people have a logical question: where to find these candies? Pop (the manufacturer of these lollipops is located in Ukraine) is not sold in Russia. Wholesale quantities are produced by the Roshen factory. Its branch is located in Lipetsk, but this type of candy is not made there. Therefore, the only correct solution will be an individual order through friends or using Internet resources. Most often they are sold already packaged in 200 grams. This is quite enough to feast on the family and also treat friends and acquaintances. Moreover, the candies themselves are small, bright, convenient, oval in shape, they can easily fit into a purse and will not get lost in it. TM "Roshen" offers three rich flavors in its standard assortment: orange, lemonade and citro. Well-known Russian manufacturers do not yet produce such candies, but everything is in the future.
If you can’t buy candy, then you should look for candies that look like pop. You can’t make them at home, you can only prepare a drink called “fizzy drink”, which consists of soda and citric acid, which allows you to imitate the taste of the filling. But in any case, this option will not replace candy. And among the little-known analogues there are the following Russian types: “Once upon a time” with flavors of lime, cola, orange, Buzzulez, “Shipelka”, “Soda”. You can purchase them in online stores.
Of course, not everyone has tried such candies, but those who remember their taste certainly experience a slight nostalgia for childhood.
We went to FixPrice to buy household goods and couldn’t pass by the racks of candy.
There were chocolate and fruit houses, but no one ate them - they were already fed up with them. But I love caramels!
There are quite a lot of them at FixPrice, but not all good quality. We came across them once with some kind of gasoline taste, we don’t take them anymore. But there are other, normal candies.
First we took the proven candies, and then we saw this packaging with the name “Fizzy”, familiar from childhood, even the design of the letters was almost the same. And of course we decided to buy and try - this or that
Price: 55 rubles
Place of purchase: FixPrice
Weight: 180 grams
Flavors: orange, lime, cola
So, here are our sweets. Wrapped in a rustling candy wrapper, the caramel itself is triangular in shape with a sizzling filling.
Flavors
Orange
Cola
The taste is also quite noticeable, but a little less than orange. There were the least of them in the package. The taste also disappears after the hissing.
Lime
I didn’t feel this taste at all, no lime. Just sweet caramel and that’s all, it’s good that it sizzles, thank you for that. But as luck would have it, there are most of them in the package!
About hissing
And this is where I broke down. Because of my inattentiveness, I was expecting the same kind of fizzy drink as the Roshen brand, because on the packaging there was a picture of a candy filled with powder. But no, there is very little of it here. And the saddest thing is that the manufacturer warned about this in advance, but I didn’t pay attention.
It’s a pity that everything is not as good as expected, but the caramel is not bad, and in the absence of “the one” it will do. Well, why did they stop selling them in Russia???
From the manufacturer "Bogatyr" there are also other flavors- lemonade, lemonade, tarragon. Maybe I'll try them someday.
There is a poem about caramel on the packaging.
Where did the fizzy drinks go?
Despite the fact that the question was asked a year ago, these sweets are still available today. They disappear because they are harmful to health. Russia is big and not everyone reacts at the same time. In one region there is a complaint (after all, this is a natural chemical and the least harmful is the destruction of teeth and stomach) and the ban process is underway. Then it is forgotten (paid for) and the noise subsides. We still have it in our village. Apparently the peripherals are not important to anyone, or they are tons purchased by the local administration. And they won’t miss a penny. My advice to you is to rejoice in their disappearance.
Who said that Fizzy's sweets disappeared somewhere?
They were and are still sold in stores.
The fizzy drink has not yet disappeared from the shelves of various confectionery stores and supermarkets. Yes, there were times when the sweets got lost somewhere among the thousands of different assortments, but they became popular again. These candies are very often bought by lovers of something unusual, tasty and fizzy. Today there are three different types Popochka sweets, namely: citro and my favorite - orange.
So I haven’t noticed yet that they stopped producing the Popchka candies, because these candies today are as popular as Barberry.
Pops are very, very harmful candies. They consist entirely of chemicals, but children love them very much. Such fizzy drinks are simply prohibited from sale. However, they can be seen on shelves in small quantities. Apparently they take them well and the bans do not help.
I buy sweets only occasionally. I stopped consuming sugar and for me any sweetness is like... well, not like a drug, maybe like a joy for a child) Although I rarely allow myself them. I see these kind of candies, with the inscription Fizzy and the corresponding contents, only occasionally among the mountains of various candies. Maybe they were replaced with something? In general, I see it, but very rarely. Since I buy candy no more than once every month or two. But if you want to find them, you probably need to look closely, and finally ask the sellers: are they in stock, and how often. Go to other stores. They may be in other places. For example, in markets, in stalls with a similar assortment, on street stalls and in other places. You need to go around, look and ask around. And I think you will definitely find them. I remember when I was young I loved them very much.
I haven't seen them for a long time either.
Although I am not a fan of such sweets, after reading the question, I noticed that they were not available.
Maybe not all stores stock this product.
Or maybe the reason is that these candies are from the Ukrainian company Roshen and they have not passed Rospotrebnadzor.
I heard that some sweets were banned in Russia due to the content of some harmful substances.
Perhaps Fizzle was one of them.
I have no doubt that these confectionery products, like many others, should not be given to children.
There are so many chemical components in these sweets that not every adult body will accept them without harm to health.
I often see these fizzy drinks on sale in Moscow in small shops and markets by weight. I used to love them and buy them often. The demand for them has not disappeared, so I think they will be on sale for a long time.
Popsicle candies have not gone away; they are sold just like all other sweets in stores, but children are still not recommended to eat them because they can cause irritation of the digestive tract, and then gastritis.
Yes, these funny candies have not gone anywhere
In grocery stores, you can often find fizzy candies like this near the checkout counter.
They are not that expensive, so you can easily buy them
The only thing is that they are located at one cash register (and there are, for example, ten of them)
So go ahead and look and you will definitely find it.
I don’t know why you don’t have them for sale in your city. We sell them in confectionery stores and stalls, both by weight and by the piece. Just look more closely, it is possible that they are not in Magnit and Pyaterochka, but you will definitely find them on the market.
The world-famous fizz candy has not disappeared anywhere, it’s just that now they can’t be found on sale anywhere, for example, I live in the Ukraine in the city of Poltava and here these candies are sold only in some stores.
Not long ago, sweets lovers were faced with the fact that some of their favorite candies disappeared from the shelves. For example, “Fizzy”, familiar to everyone since childhood. The reason for this was a ban on the products of the largest confectionery company, Roshen, which is located in Ukraine. At the moment, some of the products of this confectionery factory can still be found in Russian stores. Why are they sold despite the ban? And what was the reason for it?
Conflict between Rospotrebnadzor and Roshen
One of the most discussed topics of 2013 was the statement of Rospotrebnadzor to stop supplying products from a Ukrainian confectionery factory to Russia. This happened due to the fact that after checking for compliance with quality standards Inadmissible substances were found in the sweets of this company.
Despite the statement by Roshen representatives that the company always strictly monitors compliance with all necessary standards, in 2014 the Tverskoy Court of Moscow confiscated all cash at the Russian branch of the confectionery, which led to a temporary suspension of work.
In April 2015, due to the demand of the Basmanny Court to collect a multimillion-dollar debt from the company, the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation seized all the property of the main branch of Roshen in Russia, which is located in Lipetsk.
At the moment, the Lipetsk factory has completely ceased its activities and has no plans to resume it. As a result, most of the company’s products in Russia, which were supplied throughout the country from Lipetsk, are now not produced.
This video will talk about the difficulties faced by the branch of the Roshen factory in Lipetsk:
Why were fizzy drinks banned?
After an inspection by Rospotrebnadzor, many candies produced by Roshen were prohibited from being imported into Russia. Among them are “Fizzy” caramels, beloved by many children and adults., which got their name for the special edible powder inside that explodes loudly on the tongue.
This delicacy was very popular among Russian consumers, but it turned out that it contained prohibited additives. Thus, a particularly dangerous substance for humans was found in pops and chocolate sweets - benzopyrene .
Unscrupulous manufacturers add this substance to enhance the smell. Despite the fact that benzopyrene can sometimes be found in the air, even in small quantities it is dangerous to human health.
Its effects include:
- mutagenic effect;
- the occurrence of malignant tumors;
Benzopyrene is a substance of the first degree of danger, but it can often be found in Everyday life. Where else can this dangerous compound be found:
- exhausts from cars and other vehicles;
- contaminated air;
- tobacco and cigarette smoke;
- hot and cold smoked products;
- cereal crops.
Thus, it was the content of benzopyrene, as well as non-compliance with many other quality standards, that was the reason for the ban on the sale of “Fizzy” candies.
Sweets available for purchase
Despite the conflict between the factory and Rospotrebnadzor, the majority of Russian citizens can still find on the shelves, albeit not in such quantities, some of their especially favorite delicacies. Why are they being sold despite the ban? Is this really a violation of the law?
No, it turns out that he is under sanctions Russian control Only factories located directly on the territory of Russia, as well as candies brought into the country from Ukraine, were included in the quality control. At the same time, Roshen has a large number of confectionery production throughout the CIS, to which this decision does not apply.
Therefore, most of the candies produced by the Russian factory from Lipetsk are no longer sold. But at the same time, they still continue to be supplied by enterprises located in Lithuania, Hungary, Kazakhstan and other neighboring countries.
Lipetsk factory
What is happening now in the now closed factory in Lipetsk? Has production really stopped completely?
In September 2018, information circulated in the media that some citizens Russian Federation, living on the territory of the Crimean peninsula, purchased sweets produced on this enterprise, despite the fact that they are already for a long time must be out of reach of consumers. In this regard, a scandal arose, the main topic of which was the question: “Has the factory in Lipetsk really stopped working?”
In order to refute all doubts, journalists from Ukraine were invited to the Russian factory and filmed a full-fledged report on its current state, which was later published on one of the country’s main TV channels.
The report clearly showed production sites that are now closed, the absence of workers, and the complete lack of production.
Thus, no matter what rumors say, work at the largest confectionery enterprise “Roshen” in Russia has been completely stopped, production has been mothballed.
Other Roshen products
Undoubtedly, “Sizzling” has become the most widespread among all caramel sweets, and for a long time they were one of the most favorite sweets among the residents of Russia. However, in addition to them, this confectionery factory.
Several other delicacies are also crowd favorites:
- “Kislinka” - candies with a bright and sour fruity taste;
- “Mad shoulder” - marmalades, covered with granulated sugar;
- various types of fruit candies: “Happy Fruit Mix”, “Bim Bom”, “Juice Mix”;
- Classic soft caramel "Capri".
Thus, Roshen products have occupied a significant place in the Russian market for a long time. Many of their sweets have become an integral part of the diet of the country's citizens. For example, “Fizzy” or “Kislinka” is a kind of symbol of childhood for many young people. And although, due to non-compliance with the requirements, the main supplier of sweets - the Lipetsk branch of Roshen - was completely closed, these sweets can still be seen in stores, as they are brought from neighboring countries where factories were not banned.
