We all know candy gives you a sugar rush - not to mention a sugar crash - but what else can it do? Cool stuff, that's what!

On Friday, September 14th, during our weekly Nailed It Or Failed It segment on WQAD News 8 at 11am, we tested two science experiments using two different kinds of candy - Nerds and Pop Rocks.

First, we used Pop Rocks to make a volcano with two ingredients you probably already have around your house - baking soda and vinegar. Click the video above to see how to do it and most importantly - if it worked!

Second, we used Pop Rocks and Nerds to blow up a balloon. This one is even easier than the first. All you need is a bottle of pop, a balloon, and Nerds or Pop Rocks. We decided to try them both to see which one worked best. Click the video below to find out!
