I swear you all know it… But I haven’t seen it for past 15 years.. Maybe it went out of market or the local stores just stopped to purchase it..

And my nostalgic candy was..During my childhood days, I was always curious about it. And it was my dear soulmate, who reminded me of the candy after long 15 years. Actually she bought a packet from the nearby margin free market..

I think you all know about this magically crackling candy and the joy it brought on our childhood days.

Popping candy was first made Dr.William Mitchell, the renowned food chemist of General food corporation, USA.

Popping candy was actually an accidental discovery. William Mitchell was in a research to develop instant mixes to create carbonated drinks and he carbonated the sugar contained flavoured mixture. The instant mix was a failure, but he had a new vision for the commercial use of the mixture. He developed it in to a candy and patented the product in 1961.

Popping candy were commercially prepared and offered to public from 1975 by the General food corporation though it was withdrawn in 1983 due to reduced shelf life and lack of success in market. Since then other manufacturers also bought the rights and continued it’s production later in early 2000s.
