44 JULY 31-AUGUST 6, 2019 Best of Fayetteville Best Candy/Sweet Shop Rocket Fizz Soda Pop & Candy Shop 1916 Skibo Rd. 910-867-6032 or www.rocketfizzfayetteville.com The concept of the classic candy store of old hasn't faded into the pages of his- tory. It's alive and well, and enjoying a renaissance un- der the national branding of the Rocket Fizz chain. Fayetteville's Rocket Fizz is located in the Marketfair Shopping Center, adjacent to Planet Fitness. The local franchise is owned by Kyle and Anne Sims and Ineke Morris-Verschuur. At their store, you'll see such enticing items as toys, novel- ties, gags, candies, nostalgic movie posters, vintage rock concert posters and more than 400 varieties of soda pop. The soda flavors are as varied as green apple jalapeño, black licorice, s'mores, banana nut, ranch dressing, cucum- ber, Martian poop, and bacon. Not a soda fan? Try eating it via Dr. Pepper cot- ton candy. Or try the Bob Ross Positive Energy Drink for a quick pick-me-up. The focus is simple. Rocket Fizz wants to offer the kind of fun and tasty treats popular in years past, while also mixing in some quirky, modern flare. You can even purchase a gift basket that will include an array of candy, gifts and soda that's certain to stand out. If your fond memories of things like wax lips, bubble gum cigars, bendable action figures, Sugar Babies and salt water taffy need refreshing, pay a visit to Rocket Fizz.
