General Foods Pop Rocks Candy

This amazing candy was introduced by General Foods in 1975 and eventually turned out to be part of an urban legend as well as a cool candy and something to disturb your parents with. As the popular myth went, if you ate these and drank a soda as well, the combination would cause a blowout in your stomach, causing major internal damage. This is totally untrue, but made for a good selling point with me when I heard about it, and the fact that alarmed parents flooded the company with phone calls when their kids ate them was enough to make these an instant classic. These are like eating something that wants to fight back when it hits your tongue, and who doesn't like interactive candy? These are still available today if you look around, and you owe it to yourself to try these at least once in your lifetime. See ya, and be sure to check back to see more Cool Old Junk...
