Pop Rocks are the world's #1 popping candy! Chemist William A. Mitchell, who worked for General Foods for 35 years stumbled upon the candy by chance. He was actually working on an instant soft drink when he accidentally mixed the first Pop Rocks prototype! They were first patented in 1956 but didn't make it onto shelves until almost two decades later though. Good things take time!

Fun Fact: In the 70's a story circled that eating Pop Rocks in combination with Coke would cause enough gas to explode your stomach, leading to widespread panic over the treat. These rumours were so persistent that General Foods set up a hot line and media blitz to set the record straight. You can watch the Mythbusters dudes debunk this in their very first episode, where they combined six packs of Pop Rocks and a six pack of soda inside a pig stomach, causing a fair amount of fizz, but nowhere near the gas needed to cause a medical issue.
