It might work. The dissolved CO2 tends to be released much more readily from Diet Coke, when it gets warmer, or is shaken, or when a catalyst such as a Mentos is added. You may not get a fast enough rate of release from regular coke.
Mentos do dissolve but they realease Co2 which creates pressure in excess with the Co2 in diet coke (the thing that makes the bubbly feeling in your mouth is Co2) Which is why the stuff overflows and explodes.
caffeine, potassium benzoate, aspartame, and CO2 gas contained in the Diet Coke, in combination with the gelatin and gum Arabic ingredients of the Mentos, all contribute to the jet effect
Diet Coke is darker.
If you mean Diet Coke, no. It has no sugar.
diet coke has acid in it just less than coke diet coke does not have sugar either which coke and coke zero has
The surface of a Mentos is not smooth; it has microscopic pits, or nucleation sites, on it. These pits cause the CO2 in Diet Coke to come out of solution very quickly at the bottom of the bottle. The result is rapids release of the CO2 and foam in an explosion. This is actually the physical change that occurs. Due to the addition of caffeine, potassium benzoate, and aspartame with the CO2 in the Diet Coke, the reaction is much greater--this would be the chemical change.The Mythbusters did an entire show devoted to discovering why this happens. See the related link below.
diet coke doesn't have any calories so that means that there is no sugar in it which gives it the diet taste, so coke has sugar. so dose coke zero!
Diet Coke
diet coke
diet coke the ingredients they put in with the diet coke reacts faster then regular coke.
because it has carbonation which also means "fizz". the mentos has a co2 molecule that changes into gas.
