Pop Rocks is a carbonated candy with ingredients including sugar, lactose (milk sugar), corn syrup, and flavoring. It differs from typical hard candy in that it creates a fizzy reaction when it dissolves in one's mouth.
Although still popular, Pop Rocks are regarded nostalgically as an aspect of 1970s pop culture.
