Talk:Pop Rocks

message: Wasn't there an episode of Macgyver where he mixed Pop Rocks, Soda and Dry Ice to create a smoke screen distraction. Ahh Macgyver. — Preceding unsigned comment added by  66.54.209.66 (talk • contribs) 19:39, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably, but what purpose would the soda and pop rocks serve? Does the carbonation make the dry ice "smoke" fill up the space more rapidly? or produce extra "smoke"? Firejuggler86 (talk) 09:18, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

message: I believe that this brand has actually been bought and sold by various food companies in it's history.  I'm pretty sure that it was owned by Rich Products for a while.  ike9898 23:09, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

message: The article claims that the compound was patented in 1956, however the patent found in the citation was filed in 1980.
It might also be worth mentioning US Patent 4271206A Gasified candy having a predetermined shape which was filed in 1979 and granted in 1981, which seems to be another invention that made Pop Rocks happen. --Ted Mielczarek (talk) 14:03, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

message: I added a popular culture reference for Pop Rocks in That '70s Show. The reference has nothing to do with the myth of creating an explosive - is is about the use of Pop Rocks for sexual pleasure. The reference was subsequently deleted because it may be construed as "trivia". Popular culture references are not trivia. This reference also does not provide just another example of the urban myth - it references a totally different subject. I am re-adding the popular culture reference - please feel free to discuss this with me.

message: www.poprockscandy.com is not an "official website" in the sense one would generally take that to mean - it is run by a distributor, not the manufacturer or trademark holder. Assuming that poprockscandy.com is accurate about the trademark information, www.pop-rocks.com appears to be the website of the (U.S. ?) distributor, and www.zetaespacial.com would be the website of the manufacturer.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.143.72.7 (talk) 01:07, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Should this be made into an article on popping candy instead of Pop Rocks? I'm sure I used to buy a different brand and to me it seems more sensible to have a general name instead of the brand. Think cola verses coca cola. Smartse (talk) 16:14, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

message: The reference at Snopes.com is full of popups (every click results in two more) and I'm removing its link status until this changes. 207.81.112.36 (talk) 10:40, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  pop rocks 

message: The article implies (at least within the "Background and history" section) that Pop Rocks (under that title) ceased existance in 1983/'85. However I'm relatively sure I remember having eaten them (when I was younger) from a package labeled 'Pop Rocks' and I was born in 1988. Also it appears as though you can still buy them under that name. See  and . Perhaps someone would be able to provide information within "Background and history" as to who owns or manufactures "Pop Rocks" now?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.65.109.10 (talk) 07:47, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I see this issue seems to have gone unresolved. I agree: the article does seem to suggest that Pop Rocks don't exist anymore, but they definitely do. I eat them every now and then even now. Spock of Vulcan (talk) 21:10, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
