Rocket Fizz is a new, refreshingly retro candy store that just opened in the 5th Street Arcades in downtown Cleveland.

You’ll find pop rocks, candy buttons, taffy and candy cigarettes among thousands of other sweets and treats.

“Candy cigarettes — people haven’t seen these in years. We have the candy ones and the bubble gum ones,” said Susan Hale, co-owner of Rocket Fizz.

Susan Hale was so inspired by what she saw on CBS’ Undercover Boss when the Rocket Fizz company was featured back in January, that she decided she had to convince her husband to open a shop in downtown Cleveland.

“I’m a big kid at heart. I have a lot of enthusiasm. Some people tell me I need to calm down. I’m a sweet freak. So it was kind of like, yeah, let’s just do this, and then I can get all of my candy!”

There are more than 200 kinds of pop, featuring flavors you’ve never heard or dreamed of.

“For those wrestler fans, we have Rowdy Roddy bubble gum. For those that like a little Castro, we have Havana Banana. If you are a chocolate freak, we have chocolate soda.”
