fizzies
Dissolving drink tablets
Fizzies is informal for fizzy drinks or effervescent tablets that dissolve in water to make a flavored beverage.
The word evokes childhood nostalgia for many Americans who remember Fizzies tablets from the mid-20th century: We used to drop Fizzies in our water at summer camp.
More broadly, fizzies can mean any carbonated drinks: The kids wanted fizzies with their pizza.
