If you eat Pop Rocks and drink soda together, the rocks will explode and burst your stomach.
Pop Rocks are candy made with pressurized carbon dioxide that releases when dissolved in moisture. The amount of gas produced is tiny, less than a carbonated beverage. The 1970s myth led to FDA investigation which found no danger. Pop Rocks have been safely consumed for decades with no documented stomach ruptures.
