The Legend Of Pop-Rocks

An anonymous submitter takes on an urban legend.
When I was a kid—maybe about 10—I heard the pop rocks will blow up in your stomach when mixed with soda pop. All my friends and people my age at school were talking about it. I was kind of on the edge of believing it and not believing it so I decided to experiment. I asked my Dad for money to go to the store. I bought a bottle of coke and about three packs of pop rocks and then went home to my bedroom.
Just in case it was true, I decided that I should write a note in case my family found me exploded all over the place. I wrote the note about how I had the best life and that I left all my earthly possessions to my baby sister who was two. Then I proceeded to eat the three packages of pop rocks and drink the bottle of coke.
Nothing happened.
I thought maybe I needed to jump up and down. I tried that and it didn't work. I proved to myself that it doesn't really happen. Funny thing was I was fearful that it would.

Great story. Seriously, I thought the same thing about pop rocks and coca cola, so I would only eat a very few pop rocks at a time and pretty much dissolve them, THEN I would take a small sip of coke. It was a big risk on my part, but I survived.
