I strongly believe diet coke has a stronger reaction to mentos!
If you put a mentos in the diet coke and put it on the microwave, it will cause a chemical reaction causing your microwave to explode.
If you combine Mentos and Diet Coke, you could get a big boom. The coke will react with the mentos, making a chemical reaction together and create the giant explosion.
Diet Coke's aspartame contributes to the reaction, but any carbonated liquid will produce some effect.
Diet Coke
Diet Coke and Mentos produce the largest spectacle.
a two liter bottle of Diet Coke 2 rolls of Mentos mints 1 piece of 8x10 inch paper, like construction paper tape
mentos
Because the chemicals in diet coke react with the chemicals in the mentos, Normal coke has the same chemicals that mentos has, that is why you need to have a positive and negative to react, Normal coke and mentos is positive and positive.
