Fizzics
Does anyone have experience with Fizzics? I've seen them posted in a few beer groups, and I'm intrigued, but I don't know if it's worth it. Do you have to add microfoam? Does it add microfoam to the beer automatically?

Fun! I just googled it. They’re out of bankruptcy and maybe doing a great product. That said, I read about the importance of pouring any can or bottle of beer into a wide-mouth glass. I don’t know how true that is and it does make me think that maybe all carbo drinks need to be poured into a glass before consumption. I often drink Jarritos and MX Coke sodas plus LaCroix out of bottles and cans so maybe they’ll be better if poured.

There are also some beers that I think are meant to be consumed straight from the bottle. Corona is one.

Piels Real Draft used to be sold (Im sure the brand is now defunct) in a wide mouth bottle that was designed to make glasses unnecessary.

The product name brings back bad memories.
There was a product called Fizzies when I was a kid. It was a tablet that would flavor and carbonate a glass of water. Apparently they were too expensive for my mothers taste so I only had them at other kids houses.
When I had a stomach ache as a kid, my father would inevitably ask me if I needed a physic. I think that was code for enema or laxative. I tried to keep my stomach aches secret because of that. He thought it was funny. I thought it sounded scary.
