Pop Rocks faced a wave of sensationalized urban legends and rumors in the '70s and '80s that made some parents worry about its safety, fueling misconceptions. Misinformation spread, leading to fears that the candy could cause stomach ulcers or that it might explode in the stomach. While these were largely unfounded fears, they prompted the company to be cautious about marketing the product. Despite the temporary pullback, Pop Rocks made a comeback in the 1990s! The candy's unique fizzy experience and pop-in-your-mouth excitement for kids continued to charm new generations. Thanks to savvy marketing efforts and nostalgia, Pop Rocks were reintroduced and have remained a beloved treat ever since.
