Marilyn Monroe was born on June 1, 1926 — and at Rocket Fizz Alexandria, we’re celebrating with the candy that defined her era.
The 1950s were a golden age for American candy. This was the decade that gave us the Twist, [product name], [product name], and the kind of corner store sweetness that people have been chasing ever since. We carry all of it — and if you grew up sneaking candy from your parents’ stash or just love the nostalgia of a simpler time, this is your stop.
Here’s what you’ll find in our 1950s collection right now:
- 1950s Decade Candy Box! Perfect for milestone birthdays and parties
- Candy necklaces that make “candy a girl’s best friend”
- Classic cane sugar soft drinks, including RC cola, Mexican Coke and Squirt!
- Tin lunch boxes featuring music legends like Elvis!
Marilyn Monroe was glamorous, iconic, and larger than life. The candy of her era was simple, sweet, and unforgettable. Sounds like a pretty good combination to us.
Come celebrate with us at Rocket Fizz Alexandria, located at 1721 Centre Plaza in Alexandria, VA. We’re open 10-8pm Monday-Saturday and 11-6 on Sundays. Follow us on Instagram @Rocketfizz_Alexandria for new arrivals and in-store fun.
