Only online as far as I know.
We bought Space Dust (virtually the same) when it came out.
The cat accidentally licked it.
Amazing reaction!

About a year ago I went to a very nice restaurant and had a Creme Brulee with popping candy in it. Amazing.

I am sure it was an urban myth but I can remember a friend telling me to stay away from popping candy as a child because he had read somewhere that somebody had their stomach explode having mixed popping candy with coke!

You can get it from http://www.aquarterof.co.uk/magic-co...st-p-1160.html

I was reminiscing earlier in the year and bought a box load of stuff. Dip Dabs, Sherbert Fountains, Parma Violets, Spearmint Gums, Mojos and Pop Rocks!

Is this the same as popping candy? If so you should check out the range of Roald Dahl cakes at Tesco's. I bought some to take to work on my birthday and some of the cupcakes have popping candy on. Everyone in the office was like kids all day, was great.

Also check out this site, fab for retro sweets http://www.bagofsweets.com/sweet.mor...ype=SweetThumb

Fizz Whizz is still available, in a small variety of flavours. Personally I stock Sparks popping candy soley because of customer demand.
