What is popping candy made of?
Popping candy is made from a mixture of molten sugar that is exposed to carbon dioxide gas (CO₂) under pressurised conditions. Tiny CO₂ bubbles become trapped in the candy pieces when the sugar mixture cools & hardens. When the candy becomes wet, the gas escapes causing the candy to shatter as the pressure is released.
What happens when you eat Pop Rocks and Coke?
The carbon dioxide within the Pop Rocks is released, which causes the fizzling sounds the candy is known for. While neither you nor your stomach will explode when you digest Pop Rocks and soda, the excess amount of gas in your stomach will need to be released. So be prepared to burp…a lot!
Why does popping candy hurt?
Those small fragments are filled with tiny bubbles of carbon dioxide.
