Do Pop Rocks and Coke really make your stomach explode?

The Legend: Mickey from the Life cereal commercials hates everything, except Pop Rocks. He gorges himself with the candy (He’s rich from doing the commercials and spends all his money on Pop Rocks) and washes it down with a soda. The chemical reaction in his stomach causes an eruption and he explodes.

Besides the fact that “Little Mikey” (aka John Gilchrist) is still alive… I watched this episode of MythBusters where they actually tested this myth, plus dozens of people on YouTube testing it out for themselves… and the answer was no, actually it just gives you a good case of gas.

Introduced in 1975, Pop Rocks would, as the name suggests, pop in the mouth of anyone who ate them. This popping sensation is caused by highly compressed carbon dioxide bubbles in the candy. The belief in the spread of the rumor is that the carbonation in the candy, when mixed inside the human stomach with a carbonated beverage, would create a lethal reaction where carbon dioxide would be released at such a rapid rate that the stomach would explode, presumably killing the person who ate the candy and drank the soda. It is entirely unknown why Little Mikey was the target of the myth,[8] though some believe that it is because the actor who played Mikey did not appear in any commercials after the legend began to spread.

The only way that Mythbusters was able to get a stomach to explode was with a few lbs of baking soda + coke.
