Sometimes it’s the simple joys in life that bring the most fun to everybody. Who ever thought that Pop Rocks candy could make an 82 year old grandma as happy as this? Perhaps her ROCKy mountain thrills come from the feel of the fizzy pops on her tongue or maybe it’s the sweet buzz she got from the combination of sugar, corn sugar, and lactose (milk sugar). Either way, her heart-warming smiles and giggles are an unexpected delight to all in the room – to say nothing of the 1,388,910 hits this video has received so far.
Pop Rocks candy dates back to the 1970s pop culture and it’s hard to believe that anyone as old as this lady never had the pleasure of enjoying this nostalgic treat! It’s a good thing nobody warned Grandma of the disproven urban tales that cautioned about exploding belly’s and accidental deaths caused from eating the bubbly bits. They were sheer bunk, no doubt spread by pessimists and other grumpy sorts!
And though we know there are better and safer ways to make people smile, you have to admit that the innocent charm of this granny was too hard to pass up!
Our elders can not only be fun – but can often fill us in about our heritage and traditions. How do your elders contribute to your life today?
