Pop Rocks are a type of carbonated candy that create a unique popping sensation when they dissolve in your mouth. Invented in the 1950s by chemist William A. Mitchell, these candies are made by adding carbon dioxide gas to a sugar mixture, which is then cooled and shattered into small pieces. When you eat Pop Rocks, the pressure inside the candy is released, causing the gas to escape and create tiny popping sounds. They come in various flavors, such as cherry, grape, and watermelon, making them a fun and exciting treat for both kids and adults.
