Volcano Rocks was once a candy produced in the United States by The Willy Wonka Candy Company throughout the 1970s and the 1980s. They were solid pieces of sugar candy resembling multi-colored rocks like the colorful gravel found at the bottom of many fish bowls. The container they were packaged in was the same as the original Tart 'n' Tinys and Nerds candies, which were made by the same company. It had a top that had a tear-out panel and then a sliding hard paper lid which revealed the opening. Volcano Rocks are no longer available and information on the original candy is scarce and often misleads some to believe Pop Rocks are a viable substitute.

Famous quotes containing the words volcano and/or rocks:
“We are like travellers using the cinders of a volcano to roast their eggs. Whilst we see that it always stands ready to clothe what we would say, we cannot avoid the question whether the characters are not significant of themselves.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“A part, a large part, of travelling is an engagement of the ego v. the world.... The world is hydra headed, as old as the rocks and as changing as the sea, enmeshed inextricably in its ways. The ego wants to arrive at places safely and on time.”
—Sybille Bedford (b. 1911)
