in search of poprocks, in honour of mikey

[An image from the original post was not archived.]

I think I take some things for granted. I never thought that carbonated candy was one of them, but yes, I have thought that most of the world was as priviliged as myself in sharing the fizzing sensation of PopRocks candy.

It was with great concern that I escorted a good friend of mine, who comes from the Melbourne office of Juniper, to food stores and pharmacies in search of the wonderful fizzing candy PopRocks. It appears that you cannot buy such a product in lovely Melbourne, so we looked around SunnyVale California while he is here.

Also, Mikey from the Life Cereal television ads did not die from eating too many pop rocks and then drinking a six pack of coke.

Maybe we will just have to order a case of poprocks to Melbourne...
