Good evening to all of you out there, and all the ships at sea.

I have big news folks! Elite is making a chocolate bar with pop rocks(tm) inside. That is right, chocolate that pops and fizzes inside of your mouth and head!  What abomination is this? I hear you ask, well folks, it is yet another thing we can blame on science! Yes science, whenever we find blasphemy you can be sure that that ugly little word science is lurking somewhere behind the scenes.

First a little background on pop rocks(tm) and why I have to ad that little trademark symbol lest I be sued for using those words. How do they get those magical evil little candies to pop inside your head. Wel folks, it seems that you take simple sugar and water and boil it up, and you reduce it and thiscken it. at this point you can let it cool and harden and you would get little sugar candies, the wholesome kind, the kind that the sweet candyman gave to the children at shul. They may be bad for your teeth, but they are wonderful for your heart. But could evil science leave well enough alone? We ll know the answer to that one.
Before the sugar had time to cool down, Science decided to blow carbon dioxide through the almost congealed sugar syrup. They blaste the carbon dioxide into the sugar at 600 psi! that is a lot of pounds no matter how many inches we are talking about. As the sugar cooled and crystalized, the carbon dioxide became trapped in the candies. When you put those little peices of sugar into your mouth, they slowly melt, releasing those high pressure bits of carbon dioxide, which makes a pop on the inside of your mouth, and inside of your brain pan. This process is actualy patented, which is why I have to put a little (tm) every time I say pop rocks(tm) otherwise I would be in violation of trade agreements. 

Now Elite decided to mix this stuff into chocolate!  Hence creating the biggest candy sensation since Mr. Belsky fell off his ladder and his chocolate bar landed into Mrs. Peterson's tub of peanut butter!

I am so glad to be able to bring this stuff to ya!

  1. Awesome.

    And no, if you wash PopRocks down with soda, your head WON'T explode. Another myth debunked, although it doesn't stop me from passing it along to the next generation...
