Jimmy Fallon Got The Rock To Try Candy For The First Time Since 1989

Over the last 25 years, The Rock has been a college football player, WWE wrestler, and professional actor, which are three jobs that require you to keep your body in tip-top shape.

Dwayne Johnson certainly is a physical specimen, but even he has to have his moments of weakness when it comes to food … right? Apparently not, at least not with candy.

See, as The Rock revealed on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on Thursday night (along with going back to senior prom), he hasn’t touched any kind of candy in 27 years. In fact, he knows exactly where he was when he last had it (a movie theatre) and what he had (Twizzlers).

Looking to make some history, Fallon convinced Rocky to try out some sugary treats on his show for the first time since the third Indiana Jones movie was released and he was still seven years away from making his debut in the squared circle.

The candy of choice this time around? That would be Pop Rocks, which is certainly not what I would have gone with if I was eating my only candy in nearly three decades, but I digress.

The Rock seemed to like it well enough, but something tells me he’s not going to be incorporating any additional sweets to his diet any time soon.
