Let’s reveal Pop Rocks® real mystery!

Let´s reveal the real “mystery” — what is going on inside those little crystals?
It’s carbon dioxide gas trapped in the candy. When the candy melts in your mouth, the gas bubbles are released, creating the popping sensation. Each crystal contains about 600 psi (pounds per square inch) of pressure!
The science is safe — much less gas than in a typical soda can.
The effect is both audible and tactile — a mini fireworks show for your taste buds.
