Pixy Stix
Pixy Stix, a beloved powdered candy, has a history dating back to the 1940s, when a company called Sunline Inc. created Fruzola Jr. in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Originally designed as a drink mix, the candy quickly became popular as a sweet treat when children discovered they enjoyed eating it straight from the package. This led to the development of Pixy Stix, which is essentially the same candy in a different form.
Over the years, Pixy Stix has become a favorite among children and adults alike, and it continues to be enjoyed for its sweet and sour flavor profile.
The candy is sold in a unique packaging that resembles a straw, making it easy and fun for consumers to pour the powder directly into their mouths. It has various flavors, including grape, orange, cherry, and Maui punch.
Pixy Stix has a rich history and is part of the broader legacy of candy manufacturing in the St. Louis area. Ferrero Candy Company, a division of Ferrero SpA, now produces the candy. Its enduring appeal and unique form have solidified its place in the world of confectionery, making it a timeless treat for candy lovers of all ages.
