Wizz Fizz is an Australian brand of sherbet produced by Fyna Foods Australia Pty Ltd, first introduced in 1947.^[1]

It is typically sold in 12.5g paper sachets, containing a fine powder and a small plastic shovel to aid consumption.

The brand originated as part of a confection called Happy Pops, a combination of lollipop and sherbet, including packaging which featured cowboy inspired by the television character Hopalong Cassidy. The sherbet component was later marketed separately as Wizz Fizz in 1947.^[1]

Between 1966 and 1986, Wizz Fizz sachets showcased Disney characters such as Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Pluto, and Uncle Scrooge.^[1] In the late 1990s, new characters, including 'Screaming Mimi,' 'Weird Wally,' 'Gross Gus,' 'Nerdy Neil,' 'Mad Myron,' 'Kooky Kaz,' and 'Doctor Freak,' were introduced.^[2] A 2011 relaunch featured a planetary theme with characters called 'Super Star Kids,' which was later succeeded by monster-themed designs.^[1]

During the late 1990's, Fyna Foods Australia Pty Ltd produced over 16 million Wizz Fizz sachets annually at its Melbourne factory.^[3]
