Why would there be a strong chemical reaction when coca cola and mint are mixed together?

It is a physical reaction, not chemical when MENTOS are placed in carbonated soda. The ingredients in the candies cause the dissolved carbon dioxide in the soda to be all released at one time. The result is intense foaming- but no chemical reaction.

∙ 9y agoIts probably not a chemical reaction at all.
I am assuming you are referring to the vigorous bubbling when they are mixed. This is purely a physical reaction where something (i.e. mint) added to a carbonated beverage (i.e. coca cola) provides nucleation centers that encourage rapid formation of carbon dioxide gas bubbles from the dissolved carbon dioxide in the beverage.
