• Pop Rocks And Soda Rumor

    From MIKE POWELL@1:2320/195 to METAL on Thu Jan 22 08:32:00 2026
    Some of you may have been on the Internet long enough to hear about a rumor where if you eat pop rocks and drink soda at the same time your stomache woul explode. But that's been proven not true lol. To test this, some people put p rocks and soda into a balloon, and the balloon barely even expanded.

    I don't remember that one. I do remember that if you had pop rocks in
    your mouth and drank the soda it gave a very uncomfortable feeling, but no explosion.

    I cannot remember why they did away with pop rocks. I think they were a
    choking hazard but cannot remember for sure.

    They're still around at those retro candy shops.
