Maybe a foot. Sodas don't have fins and they have no balance, so they'll go up a little ways, flop over, go back to earth and shoot off horizontally.
As to how far it'll go horizontally, it depends on how full the soda was, how large the bottle was and how many Mentos you put in.
it is usual 5 ft
It can go at least 25 to 36 feet in the air if you shake up well
I guess millions of miles away!
Diet Coke usually works best, but depending on the number of Mentos you use, it varies! Using a small Coke bottle won't erupt more than five feet high, but a 2-liter style bottle (if you use an entire roll of Mentos) Can reach about 30 feet in the air.
I think more soda is better.
HMAS Air Sprite ended in 1976.
is u mad at me
HMAS Air Sprite was created on 1960-06-15.
when the Mentos hits the surface of the coke, the compressed carbon dioxide forms bubble on the surface of the Mentos. and it is released into the air and pushes the coke out with it. the Mentos can be mint or fruit (I have tested both)
Noothing is smooth, everything has little "potholes", although they are minisclue and not visible. Mentos have a lot of these little holes in them, where air can get trapped. When dropping a mento into a soda, the air bubbles release, this causes some bubbles to form and exit the bottle. The roughness of the candy also reacts with the gas in the soda, forming more bubbles that are trying to get the the surface. These bubbles form the "geyser".
Cola or Coke is the best, preferably Coca- Cola. But that doesn't mean that the others don't do the same thing. They all shoot up into the air. But because of the chemical make up in the coke and the mentos that seems to work best.
That is an air embolism. If you shoot air into the bloodstream it can cause death. If you shoot it into a muscle it can cause an abcess.
you would have to jump then shoot because if you shot when your on the ground there is no point to jump so jump and then shoot because when your in the air your closer to the basket Depends on ref... but just try to go high first for more cheers!
