On the Grid : Rocket Fizz
"Do you remember the opening scene from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, where the kids get out of school and head straight to the candy shop? It seems like those kind of authentic candy shops are a thing of the past, but Rocket Fizz on the Marietta Square is here to keep this tradition alive. While the owners may not come out from behind the counter to sing "The Candy Man" and through chocolate out to the kids, this candy shop is here to give the nostalgic feeling we all crave once in a while. When you enter the shop, you're immediately shot back in time to when you were a kid. The walls are covered in posters of all sorts, while the floor is filled with candy, soda and toys from all around the world. From Asia to Australia, you can taste the sweet delicacies experienced from all parts of the globe. The soda pop selection is second to none. Not only do they bottle their own brand of sodas, but they sell brands from all across America. Come taste a unique take on the classic cream soda or dare to have a swig of bacon, ranch dressing or buffalo wing-flavored soda! Rocket Fizz is here to bring a piece of the past to present and show future generations what it means to have a local candy shop in their backyard. No matter how big or small your sweet tooth craving is, Rocket Fizz has your sugar high fix you're looking for." - Green Mellen Media
