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)
Dropping Mentos into soda will cause it to explode.

The myth is that Mentos plus soda equals an explosion. The truth is the the soda bubbles up and erupts like a volcano, but does not actually explode.
What you want to do is put mentos mints in a soda bottle and if it doesnt explode then shake it
because a chemical reaction happens to make it explode
They explode because of the baking soda and vinegar mixed in and when there together BOOM.
Yes, Mentos does indeed explode but not in all fizzy drink it work best in deit coke because of the ingredients in it
Acid in vinegar reacts with sodium monohydrogencarbonate (baking soda) which is present in mentos.
There are chemicals in the soda called Potassium Benzoate and aspartame that react with other chemicals in Mentos like the gelatin and Arabic gum.
Well, it doesn't! Both regular and diet explode after dropping mentos in it! It's simply; both have carbonation!
You can but i heard your stomach could explode but its not impossable
When you put mentos candy into diet coke it explodes. Or if you shake a soda bottle before opening it, it will explode as well.
