Pop Rocks

Pop Rocks, one of the most popular candies on the market, pops and sizzles in the mouth, leaving a slight tingling sensation. This is due to the tiny high-pressure bubbles that become trapped inside the candy during processing. The candy dissolves in the mouth, releasing carbon dioxide from the tiny bubbles; hence the popping and sizzling.

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.

Why do you put pop rocks in your mouth before giving head?

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.

Where can you but pop rocks in Vancouver?

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

Why do pop rocks pop?

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.

How are pop rocks made?

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".

Blowing up a balloon with pop rocks?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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

Why do pop rocks and coke explode when put together?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

1st opinion:No, they fizz and pop. Very little CO2 gas is released. Try this: pour a bag of Pop Rocks into a balloon, firt the opening of the balloon over a bottle of Coke, tip the ballon up to dump in the Pop Rocks, and watch as the balloon inflates a little. 2nd opinion:They definitely do not explode your stomach if that is what you're asking. Perhaps if it gets to a certain point, For example a 6 pack of cokes and a bunch of pop rocks your stomach may not be able to handle all of the gas its holding, i would definitely say not to try a lot at the same time if you ever decide to.

What is the chemical reaction of pop rocks and coke?

The pop rocks fizz and sizzle and give out CO2 just like they do in your mouth. They do not kill you as the popular myth says.

Is pop rocks exploding on your tongue a chemical reaction?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, it is not a chemical reaction. Pop rocks simply melt in your mouth and release trapped CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) out into your mouth, and this release is what causes you to hear a pop, much as in popping a balloon.

A chemical reaction requires a substance to chemically change. Since the pop rock simply melts, it can always be cooled and would re-solidify.

If this were to be a chemical reaction, the enzymes in your mouth, or the water, would have to change the pop rock candy in a way that the atoms of the molecules that make it up would re-arrange to form CO2, leaving behind a totally different substance in your mouth after. Note that this change would not be easily reversible - another tell-tale method of detecting a chemical reaction.
