A real breakthrough among the candies was made by pop candy. It is interesting to learn about the secrets of the manufacturer, as well as to analyze the formula for success of sweets "point by point".
The key to taste
So, the highlight of the candy is its extraordinary taste, which is achieved with the help of a special filling. It, in turn, consists of a powder, which is ordinary baking soda. Soda and citric acid, which are part of the lollipops, combine in the mouth, and a neutralization chemical reaction occurs. Soda is simply quenched. Due to this, bubbles and hiss appear. But most doctors say that excessive consumption of such sweets containing soda can adversely affect the state of the gastric mucosa. Especially negatively pop candy affects people with low acidity of gastric juice.
but on the other hand
To overdo it and eat a huge portion at a time is very undesirable, as these delicious sweets can harm your health. The pop, which contains only carbohydrates, is also not suitable for people who follow a diet and adhere to a healthy diet. In the ratio of proteins / fats / carbohydrates, only the latter are present, and in huge quantities. The calorie content of the candies is too high due to the high sugar content, and chemical flavors and dyes can cause allergies. Therefore, the composition of the sweet is not as harmless as it seems at first glance.
And this is not a complete list of undesirable consequences that may occur after consuming pops. The lollipop affects children’s gastrointestinal tract especially aggressively. In addition, a high sugar content is harmful, because it can contribute to the development of obesity and diabetes. Parents should monitor not only the amount of sweets they eat, but also the “correctness” of actions. Indeed, mischievous people often try to inhale powder from pops, and this is fraught with an unpleasant burning sensation in the nasal cavity, sneezing and light burns of the mucous membrane. The pop candy itself can become sharp and hurt the gum or tongue. Sweets provoke the development of caries, the acid in the composition of sweets affects the strength of enamel. And with frequent use, a "nagging" can occur, after which it will be unpleasant to eat other foods. If at the moment of aftertaste you felt a burning sensation in the stomach, heartburn and other unpleasant sensations, then this type of candy should be discarded.
Candy popularity
But, despite all the cons and prohibitions, pop conquered the sweet tooth. First of all, due to its eccentricity, dissimilarity to other typical candies like chupa-chupsa or barberry. And this is a real triumph of confectioners!
Candy pop only evokes positive emotions in children and their parents. It lifts the mood, allows you to relax and distract from problems, making the world brighter for a few moments. All these are the effects of your favorite sweets.
Alternatives
Many people have a logical question: where to find these sweets? Pop (the manufacturer of these candies is located in Ukraine) is not sold in Russia. Wholesale batches are produced by the Roshen factory. Its branch is located in Lipetsk, but they don’t make this type of candy there. Therefore, the only right decision will be an individual order through acquaintances or using Internet resources. Most often they are sold in packaged form at 200 grams. This is quite enough to feast on the family and still treat friends and acquaintances. Moreover, the sweets themselves are small, bright, comfortable, oval in shape, they can easily fit in your handbag and not get lost in it. Roshen TM offers in the standard assortment three rich flavors: orange, lemonade and citro. Well-known Russian manufacturers do not produce such sweets yet, but all in perspective.
If there is no opportunity to buy candy, then you should look for candies that look like pop. They cannot be made at home, you can only make a drink called "pop", which consists of soda and citric acid, which allows you to imitate the taste of the filling. But this option in any case does not replace candy. And among little-known analogues there are such Russian types: “Once upon a time” with tastes of lime, cola, orange, Buzzulez, “Shipelka”, “Soda”. You can buy them in online stores.
Of course, not everyone tried such sweets, but those who remember their taste will certainly have a slight nostalgia for childhood.
