Pop Rocks History Pop Rocks were developed in 1956 by General Foods research scientist William A. Mitchell (pictured below) and introduced to the market in 1975 at .15 cents per pack.
In 2008, Dr. Marvin J. Rudolph, who led the group assigned to bring Pop Rocks out of the laboratory and into the manufacturing plant, wrote a history of Pop Rocks development. The book, titled Pop Rocks: The Inside Story of America's Revolutionary Candy, was based on interviews with food technologists, engineers, marketing managers, and members of Billy Mitchell's family, along with the author's experience.
