Customer Reviews

Marcus Vance: “Opening a bag of the Classic Pixy Stix instantly took me back to my middle school days, standing by the neighborhood candy shop. The paper straws still have that authentic, nostalgic feel, and tearing the top off to get that immediate punch of sour cherry and grape powder was just as satisfying as I remembered. The powder dissolves almost instantly on your tongue, giving you that perfect sweet-to-tart ratio that modern candies just can’t seem to replicate.”

Elena Rostova: “I bought a bundle of the Giant Pixy Stix for my son’s 10th birthday party, and they were the absolute star of the show. The kids loved the novelty of the massive 15-inch plastic tubes, and it kept them entertained much longer than the standard paper ones ever could. I snuck a taste of the Maui Punch flavor myself and was pleasantly surprised by how vibrant and sharp the blue raspberry taste still is, though you definitely need a glass of water nearby after tackling one of these giants!”

David Cho: “As a huge fan of tangy sweets, I recently tracked down some of the exotic flavor varieties, specifically the Cucumber Watermelon and Pineapple. It is a completely refreshed take on a childhood staple; the subtle crispness of the cucumber balances the intense sweetness of the watermelon beautifully, while the pineapple has a great tropical kick. It’s an awesome evolution for the brand, and the powder texture remains perfectly fine and fast-melting without ever getting clumpy.”
