An Israeli Candy Bar for People Who Want Chocolate With a Pop
Housing Complex reporter Ruth Samuelson received a care package from her friend, former Washingtonian Erin Zimmer, who's now a New York-based blogger for Serious Eats. The package included an Israeli chocolate bar made with Pop Rocks, which is apparently the preferred snackage of all Brithrighters.
I never understood the Pop Rocks craze. It was all about sensation—and nothing about flavor. It always felt like I had a sleet storm in my mouth. Why anyone would want to put these popping bastards into a candy bar is beyond me. If there's anything that'll ruin good chocolate, it's the sensation of eating it with a sleet storm in your mouth.
I'm just glad these bars aren't available stateside.

I tell you sir, the candy bars don't taste anything like the American candy. You should give em a try! And then maybe you'll be singing a different tune...

I tried 'em. It wasn't for me, I'm afraid. That fizzy exploding feeling lasted on my tongue well after the chocolate was gone.

Aw, well. We can't all be perfect

Trust the improvisational and far-reaching genius of the Israeli mind to bring the universal dream of Pop Rocks-enhanced oral sex one step closer to its inevitable glorious fulfillment by incorporating the one necessary element for willingness on the part of the woman--chocolate!
At last we can see the ceaseless struggle for world peace begin to bear fruit. It is now merely a matter of time.

I lived overseas and grew up w/ pop rocks. I loved them. Even after I heard stories that they were found to choke people I still ate them. I was terrified I would keel over dead though. I'd like to taste this chocolate bar. It would probably be like a crunch bar on steroids.

My husband brought a bar home and didn't tell me about the pop rocks. What a surprise!! The chocolate isn't bad either. I loved the chocolate enough to try to search for it on the Internet.

Does anyone know where you can get these? I have been searching and can't find them anywhere.
Thanks!

I really liked the combination. I always did enjoy Pop rocks as a kid. The chocolate just makes it better.
