Me? I’m still here. It foams a lot. It makes your soda taste sweeter. And it does give you a burping sensation. I also felt pressure in my stomach for hours afterward but I guess never enough to make me burp again. I only drank that one 12 oz can so I guess not enough CO2. But the real fun, having little rocks explode in your mouth, is gone.

Although it did give me a great idea. Pop Rocks + Root Beer + Vanilla Ice Cream. That must be really foamy. I think I’ll go for blueberry.

Although with only 9 packets left, out of the 48 I ordered my sister’s gift will be seriously lacking. But since she lives on another island so I will have time to reorder before she gets here.

Dairy Queen introduced a blizzard with pop rocks in it a couple of summers ago. IMO, that is the best way to eat Pop Rocks. It was called grape explosion. Vanilla ice cream, grape koolaid, grape pop rocks all mixed together. A wonderful oral sensation.
