pop rocks, are they like the sweets in that film urban legend where the legend is you can't eat the pop rocks with cola etc. etc?

There the ones Data, and slightly off topic, there was a documentary on National Geo. recently witht these two lads discounting a load of urban myths by proving them scientifically to be false and they did the pop rocks one.

They made an artificial human stomach and filled it with coke and pop rocks and it didnt explode till they gave it about 5 or 6 litres of coke and a gazillion pop rocks. Plus a good shake

What happened when they added hydrochloric acid and stomach enzymes to the mix?

Ruu_Old

Draupnir

Can you still get red liquorice in Dooblin? Not the mocky-ah strawberry/raspberrry/cherry crap, actual liquorice, only slightly sweeter than the black stuff. I haven't seen it down this way in years, used to love that stuff.
