Pop Rocks and Coke . . . .

[Qwalla 132]

Thanks for the giggles. Yes I am older and I knew about poprocks and their many uses. I think they are a bit over rated. You silly ladies!!

A few years ago--just before my WLS, John and I went to A.C. for a week. The first night there, we took a walk along the boardwalk and wondered into the huge candy store there.

Taking up one entire section of the store was an "adult" section dedicated entirely to "The Legend of PopRocks". There were videos, posters, instructional books, and thousands upon thousands of packs of PopRocks.

At the end of the week, we had lost very little money at the tables, but won countless riches from that candy store! We even won "PopRocks, I survived the Legend" T-shirts.

It's nice to see folks are still taking the time ----just to have fun.

From a man's perspective, crushed ice or course chopped frozen fruit is a wonderful close 2nd to pop rocks. When it is my wife's turn she concurs. Now I need to find a healthy caramel sauce for her. Or perhaps yogurt. I bet my crystal light lemonade ice cubes would be amazballs while on liquids. Or maybe... Oh, sorry, forgot that you were still here. Time to wake up my sweetie!

@Highfunctioningfatman OMG! This is why I love it here! There are healthy alternatives for everything, even pop rocks! We've got tons of frozen fruit prepped for smoothies. Hubby is going to be so happy when he gets back from his run this morning. Smuckers makes a sugar-free caramel sauce. I'm pretty sure they sell it on Amazon.

I'm still pre op so Greek yogurt and frozen strawberries was quite nice!

Umm, major fails on my part on this topic:

Mint tooth paste before moving South -- VERY bad idea (both sexes). It was a night of horror we refer to as "The Pepsident Insodent"

Pop Rocks (Both sexes)

Trying to use hard chocolate shell recipe on male (http://allrecipes.com/recipe/244438/instant-chocolate-hard-shell/) (Turns out it only works on things that are 40 degrees or colder).

And never use anything like Ben Gay down there.

That is all.

This is the first I'm hearing ever that the manufacturer's intended use for pop rocks is known to anyone but three of us in my town.

LMBO- just had to google the whole pop rocks thing. Guess I am sheltered too. Learn something new everyday!

I am in maintenance- so maybe I can spare the carbs and give it a try.

Now my google search has a naughty search history.LOL

That's what the Chrome "Incognito" tab is for!

"That is all?" Does this mean your explorations are done?

I love the chocolate shell idea. The promising experiment flopped, but at least the reason is cute enough that it's its own reward.

Anything minty or with similar burning capacity -- external use only and only in places that will remain external. The same applies to Tiger Balm, which has its charms.

One caveat, Pirate. Just as you're to say nothing to the 24-year old about surgery, you're to say nothing to her about your sexual capers. It's the rare person who truly wants to know that the parental figures are doing.

Indeed. I have no interest in her private life except to know generally she is happy and healthy, nor would I hope she have any interest in mine.

"That is all?" Does this mean your explorations are done?" Umm, no, these are just the most interesting FAILS todate.
