Happy Valentine’s Day!

Candy Favorites features WWII Tuskegee Airmen

Retro candy is making a comeback, in a big way.  Immensely popular with the Baby Boomer generation, retro candies are big sellers for candy stores.  Shopping for retro candy is made easy by the proliferation of online retailers – here at Fizzies headquarters, we are unceasingly grateful for our wonderful online retail stores!

One such online store is www.CandyFavorites.com. Among their prolific candy offerings, Fizzies is a mainstay. And retro candies aren’t their only bestsellers – candy with historical themes are also popular. CandyFavorites, which started out in Western Pennsylvania in 1927 as McKeesport Candy Company, is one of the oldest wholesale candy companies in the nation.    This month, they are honoring WWII veterans Tuskegee Airmen with five different handmade and collectible milk chocolate bars called Tuskegee Gold.  A large number of these WWII veterans grew up in Western Pennsylvania, and CandyFavorites looks to honor these men in conjunction with the recently released Lucasfilm, Red Tails.

According to their recent press release, CandyFavorites states, “as part of the offering, CandyFavorites.com will donate part of the proceeds from each sale to the Daniel B. Matthews Historical Society of Sewickley. The historical society was founded in 1967 to create a permanent memorial to all of the pilots who came from Western Pennsylvania. Portrayed with honor in the film Red Tails, the Tuskegee Airmen were also awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 2007. The candy gift set pays tribute to these brave and successful pilots from the Second World War.”

Look for this special and collectible candy set at CandyFavorites.com, and while you’re there, pick up some Fizzies – America’s Original Candy Beverage.

Falling for Fizzies

Fizzies fans can celebrate the 2011 Fall season by settling in with a cup of the new Fizzies Hot Flavors: Hot Cocoa and Hot Apple Cider.  Warm and delicious, these two new Fizzies flavors are sure to warm you up!

For many, the coming of autumn means kids are back in school, and the haphazard schedules of summer are fading back to routine.  The evenings are shorter, and the air is beginning to cool, hinting at the winter to come.

Landscapes too, are in a time of transition.  In most areas of the country, leaves are beginning to turn dazzling shades of crimson, yellow, and orange.  Nature’s last show of the year has begun.  Visit the US Forest Sevice’s website, or call their Fall Colors Hotline at 800-354-4595 for the latest information on where to see the most brilliant displays.

Pumpkin patches everywhere will soon be abundant with their fall bounty.  Harvest time has begun in many apple orchards, where families pick the season’s best right from the tree.  Bring some Fizzies Apple Cider or Hot Cocoa along in a thermos, or look for Fizzies Hot Flavors at your local apple orchards and corn mazes.

This is the perfect time of year to sit back and relax in the evenings, perhaps with Fizzies Hot Apple Cider or Hot Cocoa in your mug.  Happy Fall, everyone!

AMERILAB TECHNOLOGIES ANNOUNCES 1,000 DAYS WITH NO LOST TIME

Minnesota Based Manufacturer of Effervescent Tablets Reaches New Safety Milestone
Plymouth, MN, August 24, 2011- Amerilab Technologies, a leading producer and developer of effervescent tablets, is proud to celebrate 1,000 days of production without an OSHA recordable safety incident resulting in lost time from work. The celebration will take place at their facility on Wednesday, September 7, 2011.
This milestone, which now spans nearly 3 years, brings the Amerilab Technologies OSHA recordable incident rate down to less than 2.0, well below the industry standard of 4.5. This accomplishment was due in part to the rigorous safety training programs aided by employee involvement.
According to Dave Kinney, Amerilab Technologies Health and Safety Environmental Manager, “Amerilab Technologies works hard to instill a safety-minded culture in its employees that is as effective at work as it is at home, which keeps our team actively seeking for safer ways of doing things.”
Actively involved from concept to implementation, employees have worked collaboratively to create a safe and efficient workplace environment. The culture of safety fostered at Amerilab Technologies is one that puts equal importance on the quality of the final product, as well as the process in which it was produced.
