Pop Rocks

Pop Rocks won't create actual lightning in your mouth, but the sensation can feel electrifying. When you eat them, the tiny carbon dioxide bubbles in the candy pop and burst, creating a surprising and fizzy feeling. This reaction can mimic the sensation of sparks, making it feel like there's a mini explosion happening, but it's just a fun candy experience!

Oh, dude, no way! Pop rocks won't make a bird explode. Birds have a totally different digestive system than us, so they can handle the fizzy candy. It's like, they might get a little surprise, but they'll be totally fine.

Pop rocks contain carbon dioxide gas, which is released when they come in contact with moisture. When mixed with Coke (a carbonated beverage), the gas bubbles from the Pop Rocks accelerate the release of gas from the Coke, resulting in an effervescent reaction. This causes foaming and fizzing due to the rapid release of gas.

Yes, popping candy like Pop Rocks undergoes a chemical change when it releases carbon dioxide gas upon contact with moisture in the mouth. The reaction between the candy ingredients and saliva causes the popping sensation and sound.

John Gilchrist helped sell Quisp cereal for Quaker Oats in the 1970s.

No, consuming Pop Rocks and Coke together will not make you die. The myth that combining the two will cause your stomach to explode is not true. However, it's always a good idea to consume food and drinks in moderation.

No it wont explode your stomach, it will just make popping sounds. However just don't eat too much at a time because they create a lot of gas when put together and your stomach might not be able to handle all of the pressure inside of it.

it is due to the carbon dioxide reacting with the chemicals in the coke making it foam.

No.

A show on the Discovery Channel "Mythbusters" proved that it will not kill you. also if u Google steveslapnger.com it migth give u ur answer

Pop Rocks are essentially hard candy (like Jolly Ranchers and Livesavers) mixed with an unusual ingredient: carbon dioxide.

In normal hard candies, a sugary syrup is mixed, boiled, then allowed to cool and harden. In Pop Rocks, the boiled syrup is mixed again, this time with pressurized Co2, leaving air bubbles in the finished candy. When you eat Pop Rocks, the sugar dissolves in the heat of your mouth, popping the air bubbles and releasing the Co2 gas. This creates the unique Pop Rocks "fizzing" sensation.

Pop Rocks was created in 1975.

They are sold at many special candy shops, mostly ones that only sell candy. They are not sold at target, or places like that. But the cheapest place to buy them would be a dollar store, like dollar tree. I bought a pack of three for a dollar, vs a local candy store where i bought one pack for $1.10

you can buy them at candy stores...like at the mall

The term "pop" is short for popular music. As long as music has been around there has been popular music. The sound of popular music has changed over the years the same way that fashion has changed over the years.

Actually, carbon dioxide is shot into the soda and that what makes it so fizzy.

can you explain why that happens?-flub flub

the chemicals in the soda interact with the pop rocks and they some times blow up.

nothin bad will happen it will just fizz a little :)

It depends. If you are a baby and you drink a can of coke and eat like 5 packets of poprocks,then yes you will explode. I you are an adult, you will not explode

Here's the basic idea. Hard candy (like a lollypop or a Jolly Rancher) is made from sugar, corn syrup, water and flavoring. You heat the ingredients together and boil the mixture to drive off all of the water. Then you let the temperature rise. What you are left with is a pure sugar syrup at about 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). When it cools, you have hard candy. To make Pop Rocks, the hot sugar mixture is allowed to mix with carbon dioxide gas at about 600 pounds per square inch (psi). The carbon dioxide gas forms tiny, 600-psi bubbles in the candy. Once it cools, you release the pressure and the candy shatters, but the pieces still contain the high-pressure bubbles (look at a piece with a magnifying glass to see the bubbles). When you put the candy in your mouth, it melts (just like hard candy) and releases the bubbles with a loud POP! What you are hearing and feeling is the 600-psi carbon dioxide gas being released from each bubble.

Pop Rocks are made in the beginning just like hard candy. Sugar, high fructose corn syrup, lactose, and water all boiled together. Then they pump 600 psi of CO2 into the liquid. While the liquid cools most of the gas escapes and causes the mixture to shatter into tiny jagged pieces. When the sugar coat is melted the CO2 gas is released causing the "pop".

With a pin

Answer- sit on them, poke them with a dart, bite them, touch them with something hot, if you blow to much air into them they can pop. You could also use a knife or scissors. Anything sharp will do the trick.

Anything of a significantly different temperature will also work

Ingredients: Sugar, Lactose (Milk Sugar), Corn Syrup, Artificial Flavor, Artificial Color (Red No. 3), Processed with Carbon Dioxide.

Nothing

yes when you pour the pop rocks into the soda the carbine dioxide builds up and the air makes it blow up
