Charles Davis Sep 5, 2011:
Sour candy powder Apparently kids are snorting it these days. Some of them can even blow "smoke" rings with it out of their noses:
http://candyprofessor.com/2010/05/05/smoking-smarties/

One question from a non-American: is sour candy powder effervescent, like sherbet and Sidral? If so, snorting it must be quite stimulating.

Mexican Sidral Monet, an apple-flavoured fizzy drink, is a different thing altogether.
Stephen D Sep 5, 2011:
This is Sidral... http://www.sidral.net/SIDRAL2005/productos/index.htm

As far as I can tell from the pictures on their website they're exactly the same as our "fizzy dips", sour straws, etc.
philgoddard Sep 5, 2011:
Thanks, Wikipedia! Asker, could we have the sentence containing this word, please?
Stephen D Sep 5, 2011:
Sherbet? Sherbet in the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth countries is a fizzy powder, containing sugar and flavouring, and an edible acidic and base. The acid may be tartaric, citric or malic acid, and the base may be sodium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, or a mixture of these and/or other similar carbonates[citation needed]. To this is added a large amount of sugar to mask the unappetising flavour of the reactive powders, and fruit or cream soda flavouring.
The acid-carbonate reaction occurs upon presence of moisture (juice/saliva). Sherbet used to be stirred into various beverages to make effervescing drinks, in a similar way to making lemonade from lemonade powders, before canned carbonated drinks became ubiquitous. Sherbet is now used to mean this powder sold as a sweet. (In the United States, it would be somewhat comparable to the powder in Pixy Stix or Fun Dip, though having the fizzy quality of effervescing candy, such as Pop Rocks.)

sour candy powder

In America "sherbet" is a frozen dessert made primarily of fruit juice and sugar, but also containing milk or egg-white or gelatine. Whereas the sour powder sold in the UK as sherbet is similar to the powder in Fun Dips and Pixy Sticks in the US.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixy_Stix

Sour candy powder has quite a few results in Google and explains exactly what the product is.

You could always say "fun dip" powder, if you wanted to associate it to a brand. It seems Pucker Powder might also be a similar product in the US:

Pucker Powder will astonish the most critical of all owners with the amount of product that sells thru these machines. Your location will do well if you get people between the ages of 4 to 21, however don’t be surprised to see many adults filling tubes as it takes them back to their youth of eating *Pixy Stix® and *Lik-M-Aid® Fun Dip®.

neutral Stephen D : That's what I thought too, but I've seen that "sherbet" means something else in the US. It's a dessert in the US, sherbet is it's name in the UK.

disagree Joel Schaefer : Hack asked for the US term. Sherbet in the US is a frozen dessert, like ice cream but with only a small amount of milkfat.

neutral philgoddard : Not disagreeing, just wanted to say that sherbet is the US equivalent of sorbet.

efervescent salts (Seltzer?)

these are salts with sodium bicarbonate, tartaric axid and some sort of flavoring. En Mexico tambien se les llamaba por la marca Sales de uva Picot.

soda (drink) powder

I remember translating it this way some years ago...

I used "soda drink powder" first and then referred to it as "soda powder" further down in the document.

pop rocks, space dust, etc.

Now widely used as a generic name for similar products, Pop Rocks is a carbonated candy with ingredients including sugar, lactose (milk sugar), corn syrup, and flavoring. It differs from typical hard candy in that it creates a fizzy reaction when it dissolves in one's mouth.
