📢 SERIES: Yes, you can patent food! ⚖️
💥 Pop Rocks

✍🏻 Who can ever forget the sensation we get from eating Pop Rocks? Pop Rocks is essentially a gassified candy which produces a pronounced popping sensation when it dissolves in our mouths. The concept was first patented by General Foods Corp. in the early ‘80s. For the longest of time, many Americans believed that Pop Rocks can cause a person’s stomach to boil and explode when taken together with a soda. This urban legend had been busted by the Mythbusters in the very first episode of their show. Now you can certainly dump a package of Pop Rocks in your mouth, and enjoy the glorious crackling and fizzing sensation with confidence!
