The Secret Behind The 'Popping' Of Pop Rock Candy

132 Words1 Page

The secret behind the “popping” of pop rocks candy is pressurized carbon dioxide gas. Each of the tiny little candy pebbles contains a small amount of gas. These tiny carbon dioxide bubbles make the popping sound you hear when they burst free from their candy shells. So what causes the balloon to inflate? The carbon dioxide contained in the candy isn't enough to cause even the small amount of inflation you observe in the experiment.That's where the soda comes into play. The soda also contains pressurized carbon dioxide gas. When the pop rocks are dropped into the soda, some carbon dioxide is able to escape from the high fructose corn syrup of the soda and because the carbon dioxide gas has nowhere to go in the bottle, it rises into the balloon.

    Pop Tarts has been successful at building a connection with its consumers due to nostalgia and the different marketing experiences they have put on which has caused consumer commitment to escalate. When it comes to relationship status with Pop Tarts I think if a consumer eats Pop Tarts then they are married to the brand and will not try any other brands but if a consumer doesn’t eat Pop Tarts then they don’t eat any of Pop Tart’s near competitors. This causes consumers to be committed to someone else but that brand isn’t even in the same market category, they are committed to a brand in the Far or Farer

  • Analysis Of The Film Candyman

    1338 Words  | 3 Pages

    Candyman (1992) directed by Bernard Rose tells the story of a graduate student whose research on urban legends becomes reality and consumes and threatens her life. The viewer of this film is not able to reconcile whether Helen Lyle, the graduate student, or Candyman is the perpetrator of the kidnapping of baby Anthony McCoy, the murder of Helen’s friend and fellow graduate student Bernadette Walsh, or the brutal gutting of Helen’s psychiatrist. Is Candyman real or a figment of Helen’s obsessive research and interest in the legend? This uncertainty roots this film in “the fantastic,” a phenomenon discussed by French theorist, Tzvetan Todorov. Todorov declares “the fantastic” to hinge on “the reader’s hesitation.” In other words, when the viewer has “nearly reached the point of believing” but hesitates, that is when a story becomes fantastic (Todorov 31). This paper will discuss hesitation within the film Candyman. The film’s greatest linchpin to “the fantastic” is the indefinability of Candyman’s monstrosity. Rose’s “monster”

  • Analysis Of Eating Popsicle

    Before one can interpret this work, one also has to analyze the meaning of the subject. It’s all too easy to say that the subject of this work is the popsicle, but arguably, the popsicle has no meaning until the human being has experienced it in some way. The true subject of this piece is in fact the experience or act of eating the popsicle. If one is to assume that the popsicle in this piece is being bitten by a human being (in a figurative sense), then that human experience has to be part of the story. People eat popsicles because they are sweet and colorful and because they are cold. They eat popsicles outdoors when it is hot outside, usually in the summer. Sometimes they also eat popsicles after a meal for a special treat. The experience of eating a popsicle is a common one, especially in childhood, but sometimes also in adulthood; almost everyone has unwrapped a popsicle and enjoyed it slowly until it was gone. Much to the person’s disappointment, the popsicle is consumed — but it’s meant to be consumed.
