One spirited evening comparing pressurized carbon-dioxide vesiculation in gasified candy with vesicular textures in volcanic rock, featuring the famous side-by-side scoria demonstration. The tasting lab runs under the Confectionery Specimen Handling and Allergen Standard, and the reference collection will be guarded.
What to expect
One evening, three talks, one demonstration, and a tasting lab with a sign-in sheet. Attendees leave able to explain vesicular texture to anyone, whether or not anyone asked. Review the Pop Rocks sheet beforehand; the speakers will assume fluency.
