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.

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

What happens when you eat pop rocks and drink soda?
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".
Blowing up a balloon with pop rocks?
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?
Is pop rocks exploding on your tongue a chemical reaction?
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.
