eLi5 What’s the science behind what makes popping candy, pop?
In: 22
Popping candy was the result of an attempt to make instant soda. The idea was to have CO2 trapped inside sugar pellets.
They thought you might be able to pour the candy into water it would dissolve and act as the syrup and the trapped CO2 might make the sugar water bubbly.
It didnt work, but they did find just putting the candies straight into your mouth made for a pretty interesting sensation as the candy dissolves and releases the trapped bubbles.
