Yes, Diet Coke can create a rapid release of gas and foam when combined with mint candies, such as Mentos. The rough surface of the mint provides nucleation sites for carbon dioxide bubbles to form quickly, leading to an explosive reaction. This phenomenon occurs regardless of whether the soda is regular or diet, due to the carbonation in the drink. Caution should be exercised if attempting this experiment, as the reaction can be quite vigorous.
I believe mint Mentos, and diet coke (or a beverage with aspartame). Mythbusters claim that table salt works very well too!
Which mint makes the coke explode the biggest?
but
No, there's lime and cherry and both together but no mint.
Yes, More So Diet Coke and Mento's
Diet Coke and mint Mentos
a two liter bottle of Diet Coke 2 rolls of Mentos mints 1 piece of 8x10 inch paper, like construction paper tape
Diet cola explodes (or at least fountains) when mints are added because the mint provides a surface for bubbles of carbon dioxide to exit solution in the cola all at once. The result is a large amount of gas produced in a relatively short space of time, creating the explosion/fountain effect.
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)
You get a 2 litres of coke (Diet Coke works the best) and leave the cap off in an large, open area and put three~four of mentos (mint ones are better than fruit flavoured ones) in and then it will make a coke geyser.
you will want to use mint mentos because it has the best reaction to the soda
No it will not explode.
