Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson eats more than two pounds of cod per day for his insane diet, and unsurprisingly, candy is never a factor.

During an appearance on Jimmy Fallon's "The Tonight Show" on Thursday, Johnson told Fallon that he hasn't even eaten a piece of candy since 1989. It was a Twizzler, and he was at the movie theater.

Knowing this, Fallon of course tempted Johnson to "make a little history" and eat candy for the first time in 27 years.

"Well, look, I mean we're here. Big movie comes out tomorrow," Johnson said. "I think we bust out the Twizzlers."

Instead, Fallon attempted to lure Johnson with a giant gummy worm, a Nerd Rope, and Ring Pops before ultimately convincing The Rock to eat Pop Rocks and hold up a microphone so the crackling could be heard.

"So that's what candy tastes like! Wow, it's amazing," Johnson said.
