pop the loot - john
A coworker of mine often eats Lunchables on the go. I can’t figure out if she loves the hipness of embracing an old-school food the same way people are into old-school sneakers, or she just likes the simplicity of the crackers, meat, cheese combination and the lack of effort it takes to assemble all of these food groups into one plastic package. I think it is the later. Anyway- she doesn’t dig the dessert part of the Lunchable and so I often end up with the rejected treat. The candy—Loot Poppin’—is an amazing concoction of Nestle Crunch and Pop Rocks. Neither Nestle nor Pop Rocks are involved in the creation of this wonder product. Instead it would appear as if Loot Poppin’ were created by a group of kid adventurer/scientists called the Lunchable Brigade. You can see their faces on each exciting candy.
The Lunchable Brigade has some backing from the Kraft Corporation, who when asked if Loot Poppin' can be bought in bulk without buying a complete Lunchable have quite the response:
“It's quite a compliment to know you enjoy our products so much that you took the time to get in touch with us. You're not the first person to ask if the components that make up our delicious products are sold separately. While we have considered doing just that, we really believe our efforts should remain concentrated on bringing you the entire product, not its components.”
(thanks Will for your hard hitting quest for consumer satisfaction)
I will have to turn to the black-market now for my pop-rocks chocolate fix in mass quantities.
Fun Fact!!!!
In order to maintain the poppin insanity I like chugging a bottle of water right after I take a big bite. The added moisture flowing thru the mouth really stimulates the poppin’ chemicals to their maturity and consequently sends your taste buds on a roller coaster.
Here are some MP3s I think the Loot Poppin’ creators -the Lunchable Brigade- would enjoy:
Thunderbirds are Now! :.. And the chocolate mustache 
After stealing SXSW for me, Thunderbirds Are Now! have me listening to their album Justamustache on repeat in the car. The irreverence, energy, and melody on the record make me remember how cool it was to see a guy play the keyboard with puppets on his hands as a finale to a parking lot show.
cLOUDDEAD : pop song
I have been in a good anticon records mood lately. New record store around the corner has an Anticon vinyl section that is hurting my wallet…and saw Why? open for Islands where the 2 person percussion blew my mind. cLOUDDEAD’s album “ten” was some of my first exposure to the whole anticon sound (or whatever)
Fear of Pop: Fear of Pop 
Before the Ben Folds Five final album The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner came out, Ben Folds put out a solo album under the moniker Fear of Pop .The album had appearances from William Shatner and a whole bunch of bizarre drumbeats and odd sounds. Ben Folds would love Loot Poppins. It is a fact.
Pop the Glock- Uffie
The vocal effects on Uffie’s voice in this song are so soothing. This is the most relaxing song about guns that I have ever heard.
I do not condone the act of going to the store Lunchable isle, opening up a box, and eating the Loot Poppin’ but I also can’t blame you if you do.
