   A friend of mine and I actually risked our own lives to test the Pop Rocks/Soda theory…I’m glad to report that aside from some excessive fizzing and popping, we did indeed survive.

   You know, even if they don’t blow up your stomach, I’m thinking that pop rocks and soda are probably not the best snack combination….

   I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the perversely addictive “Mythbusters”, a Discovery Channel show where two SFX geeks test Urban Legends. Pop Rocks, Coke, and Mikey is so strong in our national psyche, it even made the pilot:

   I can’t believe that’s real! Doesn’t everybody know that’s a myth?!? (Not to mention that it’s just incredibly stupid.)

   I’m ashamed for never having even heard of it. Now I will have to try it, just to be sure.

   Forget about the urban myth aspect.. what’s with the lady in this panel?? “Oh drat.. it looks like my stomach exploded.. oh well”. You’d think she’d look a bit more worried or something. ;)

   She’s too busy enjoying the sweet, sweet taste of Pop Rocks to notice…
