Popping

Anecdote

While walking back from the shop this morning, I saw a schoolboy empty a packet of popping candy onto the pavement and stamp on it while his friends watched.

I don't know quite what he expected to happen, but suspect that he didn't either and it was an experiment. Unsurprisingly, at least to me, it didn't make discernably more noise than stamping on any collection of small lumps of sugar would.

Boys being boys, he was perhaps hoping they would explode while pondering little on the consequences for his foot if they did.

His friends expressed mild disappointment, then got back to waiting for the bus.
