No, pop rocks are new to me. The nearest thing when I was a kid was the Barret's Sherbert Fountain. You got this tube of fizzy dust (sugar and baking soda I think) and you were supposed to suck it up through a "straw" made of liquorice. The trouble was the straw got bunged up after a suck or two and you had find other ways of getting at your sherbert. I was crazy for those things.
