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".

No, it will not make a geyser. It works with Mentos and DIET soda and will shoot up to 8 or ten feet.

What happens when you put Mentos in a can of soda?

there is a large amount of fruit acid in mentos , so when you react it with another acid they will combine and cause a reaction: if you put a mentos in a can of soda it will erupt, explode, ect. like an explosive volcano due to the fact of the acid. Above answer is completely wrong, there are tiny nucleation sites on the mentos where the CO2 of the soda's carbonation turns to real gas and fizzes up through the tiny opening. as a result of all the bubbles, the soda literally is pushed up and out of the bottle into a soda geyser.


What is in soda that makes a soda geyser?

You need a diet coke , a straw and some mentos .First, open the diet coke. Then ,put the straw inside .After that , put a mentos inside quickly and run away because it will flash on you if you are at the place. It is very exciting because it will flash very high if put a lot of mentos inside . Why does it happen? Just because the diet coke won't have alot of sugar and if it touch some sweet things suddenly , it will be a diet coke geyser.
