Pop Rocks turn 50
Yes, those creepy little pebbles of carbon dioxide have been around, in various forms, for 50 years, according to a
recent press
release from Pop Rocks, Inc. I was never a big fan of the seltzer-in-your-skull feeling that Pop Rocks provided,
but I found some of the history in the release pretty interesting. Apparently they were originally developed by a
General Foods chemist in an attempt to create instant carbonation for soft drinks. PopRocksCandy.com has more history and background on several
rumors involving CO2 candy and exploding kids. To celebrate the anniversary, Pop Rocks, Inc. is re-releasing the candy
in retro packaging like the one you see here.NCBA gives the sundae a meaty makeover

inda odd to top a chocolate sundae with a cherry tomato isn't it? Allow me to explain. What you're looking at is
not a soda fountain creation. It's the latest entry in the National Cattlemen's Beef Association's Beeflexible campaign: the Steak Sundae. The Philly "Mignon" is among the other
Beeflexible ads that have run in the food service trade magazines.
A sundae composed of cubed steak, layered with mashed potatoes and gravy, topped with a dash of Pop Rocks is waaay beyond flexible. That's because it's designed to appeal to kids. That's all well and good by me, but I'd sooner encourage a child to eat beef by offering them a forkful of steak tartare.
