5. I'm too much too much of a "lady" to tell.
No I'm not.
You can use them for *ahem* intimate enhancement purposes.

4. If The Simpsons has taught me anything...
It's that Pop Rocks and a can of soda can be used to make an impromptu grenade, useful in escaping a violent mob of candy convention attendees.

6. Well, that's one good use.
Very MacGyver-esque. Not quite what I was thinking of, but I'm starting to believe I should have them on hand for numerous useful purposes.

That's a classic urban legend (and untrue).

13. That's just a myth to worry and titillate the parents of teens
I can't imagine the paroxysms of laughter I would go into if I ever heard the crinkling of a pop rocks bag at that moment in time.

16. Myth? What myth?
I have discussed the aforeUNmentioned hypothetical application for them at length with my female friends. Certain individuals professed a deep conviction for their effectiveness. Unconventional uses for Mardi Gras beads also entered into the conversation, but the Pop Rock thing is of particular appeal to me.
:D

18. Well it's outside my experience, anyway
For better or worse. B-)

One can never look at their "taste the explosion" slogan the same way.

It's funny--the one wrapper we males must deal with I find easy to open
But I -cannot- open an Altoids tin easily--I am always on the verge of spraying Altoids all over the place after forcing the lid off. I must have breath mint performance anxiety. :cry:

31. Are they also "enhancing" if...
Men eat them instead?

We need more empirical research on this topic.

DU men, WE NEED DATA!

(Lab results in the morning. If I can get ahold of some Pop Rocks, that is...)

32. Yes! Men cay utilize them in similar fashion, in fact I think that should
be requisite! I may have to develop a scientific theory requiring testing of this assertion, though...

lots and lots and LOTS of data points to be valid.

38. My research indicates that any flavor will suffice, however...
Edited on Tue May-09-06 02:37 PM by Jazz2006
one might choose to avoid certain colors, for aesthetic reasons.

While my research indicates that the effectiveness of the PopRocks is not influenced by the flavor, certain colors may be off-putting to some.

For instance, some things are just not meant to be BLUE. :P

And include pictures to corroborate your research.

On edit: the effort-to-effect ratio was very, very low. Your mileage may vary.
