Pop Rocks

The original popping candy, patented in the 1960s by some scientists from General Foods and first offered to the public in 1976.  These days it’s made by a Spanish company called Zeta Espacial.

There’s a book called “Pop Rocks: The Inside Story of America’s Revolutionary Candy” about the people who worked to get the sweet from the lab to the public.  You can still buy it on Amazon but for the money you could get A LOT of Pop Rocks.  Just saying.
