Pop Rocks

A bit of bubbly

Pop Rocks are back! These tiny pebbles of carbonated candy create an oral sensation that makes you feel like Godzilla with a mouthful of power lines. If you're in desperate need of escaping adulthood, indulge in a quick 35-cent fix of pure childlike inanity at the counter of your neighborhood convenience store. Available in grape, strawberry, and "original flavor," which tastes something like bubble gum.
