Coke and Pop Rocks

For your benefit we have done this experiment twice: once by eating the pop rocks and coke, and once by mixing them in a glass and videotaping it. This way, you can see what horrible things are happening inside my body, even as I write this.

We shall first examine the results from in the glass.

We started off by filling the glass with one full packet of Pop Rocks. Pink seemed appropriate.

Next, we take a look at what happens when you (or in this case me) consume this kind of concoction.

We started off by filling my mouth with one full packet of Pop Rocks. Blue was all we had left.

Putting a whole bag of Pop Rocks in your mouth is not really my idea of fun… No wait a minute, it is. Instantly my mouth was transformed from your average household mouth into a party of popping and fizzing.

After adding a little of the brown bubbly goodness into the mix I soon discovered that my biggest problem might be the amount of fizz trying to escape from my mouth. Let’s just say the party got out of hand.

Now, I do have to be honest that I was keeping it in my mouth for the benefit of the photos, but eventually I did have to swallow. Well, swallow what didn’t already shoot out of my mouth when I tried to close it. Whenever I tried to close my mouth my cheeks would inflate, thus spewing what appeared to be green foam out of my mouth. This did make it difficult to swallow but eventually I managed.

Thinking the worst was behind me, or at least safely inside me, I started to relax. Then, I felt the rumblings of a ball of gas in my stomach that kept getting bigger and bigger. In fact, it’s still there and it’s not feeling too hot right now. My stomach that is; I’m sure the gas is fine.

So now I wait. I’m either off to the hospital, going to burp myself senseless, or just drop dead. I’ll let you know tomorrow.

Day 2 part 1 (the first 12 hours)

I'm not dead if that means anything. I'm pretty sure at this point that I'm not going to die as a result of the Pop Rocks and Coke mix. I did feel really bloated for a while after, but nothing the occasional belch couldn't deal with. It's only been about 12 hours since I did it and they say that it takes about 24 hours for your system to clear out, so let's see how I do.

Day 2 part 2 (the 24-hour mark)

Well, it’s not really the 24-hour mark; I was watching a movie and I lost track of the time, sorry. No matter, I’m feeling fine and the gas has subsided. It appears that lady death has decided to pass me by. This time. So ends the horrible rumour that coke and pop rocks are a deadly combination.
