This bar is one that keeps coming back every once in a while, that or I keep finding old boxes of these in various candy shops around the world. Today you would say that this bar isn't really that original, as lots of bars now contain Pop Rock like candy, but when it came out it was cutting edge. In fact when I first tasted this bar, I was convinced that I wouldn't like it at all. It seemed really strange to add Pop Rocks to any kind of chocolate bar, but it worked. Best of all the quality of the chocolate in this bar was pretty good as well. It was like the candy industry saying that it was OK to mix novelty candy with fine milk chocolate.
Today that's become a bit of the norm, and it's all thanks to this legendary bar. So this is more about giving this bar a bit of respect, and credit. Next time you eat a bar that fizzes in your mouth, remember that at one point the folks at Wonka tried it first.
Here's my poem about this fizzy bar:
Of all of the companies in the candy bizz,
Wonka was the first to make chocolate with fizz.
While most chocolates were playing it cool,
Xploder bar came about making a fool.
When chocolate bar companies would make it plain,
The Xploder bar would blow up your brain.
