✗ The myth everyone repeats
If you eat Pop Rocks and drink soda together, the rocks will explode and burst your stomach.
✓ What is actually true
Pop Rocks are candy made with pressurized carbon dioxide that releases when dissolved in moisture. The amount of gas produced is tiny, less than a carbonated beverage. The 1970s myth led to FDA investigation which found no danger. Pop Rocks have been safely consumed for decades with no documented stomach ruptures.
