Carbonated candy is a type of confectionery that fizzes and pops when it comes into contact with moisture, typically saliva. This unique sensation is created by the presence of carbon dioxide gas, which is trapped in the candy during its production. When the candy dissolves in the mouth, the gas is released, creating a bubbly effect. These candies often come in various flavors and shapes, appealing to both children and adults. Popular examples include Pop Rocks and other similar products that provide a fun and interactive eating experience. Carbonated candy is enjoyed for its surprising texture and taste.
