Pop Rocks Candy

Pop Rocks candy has been a sweet treat favorite for as long as they have been around. The Pop Rocks candy was first offered to the public in 1975. As a carbonated candy, it is made of sugar, lactose (milk sugar), corn syrup, and flavoring. Poprocks candy were developed in 1956 by General Foods research scientist William A. Mitchell and sold at only 15 cents a pack back in 1975. Tiny air pockets of carbonation (CO2) are released when melted in your mouth and has a mild "crackling" sensation and "popping" noise.

 

The original flavors of Pop Rocks candy were Orange, Cherry and Grape. There is actually an Urban Legend surrounding Poprocks candy that says if you mix the confection with carbonated drinks would cause the stomach to explode. While this is entirely false, some people still stay clear from the innovative and unique confection. Pop Rocks candy was actually banned for a while because of this lie, but are not back in full force for your enjoyment!

Both kids and adults love the popping sensation that Poprocks candy has in your mouth. When you put the Pop Rocks candy in your mouth, it melts (just like hard candy) and releases the bubbles with a loud POP!
