The reaction between Diet Soda and Mentos creates a dramatic geyser effect due to the rapid release of carbon dioxide gas. This phenomenon occurs because the surface of Mentos candies provides numerous nucleation sites for gas bubbles to form. Diet soda, which contains artificial sweeteners and fewer calories, generally produces a more impressive eruption compared to regular soda, as it has lower viscosity and allows gas to escape more quickly. In conclusion, the combination of diet soda and Mentos is a fun and visually striking demonstration of physics and chemistry in action.

The classic experiment using Mentos and Diet Coke typically suggests using around 4 to 5 Mentos candies for a dramatic reaction. This amount is generally sufficient to create a significant geyser effect with 600ml of Diet Coke. However, the exact number can vary based on factors like the temperature of the soda and the specific Mentos used. Always conduct the experiment outdoors for safety!
How many Mentos do you add to sprite to make it explode?
You need at least 1. And, it depends what kind of pop you are using.

Right after Diet Coke comes Pepsi, and on and on.
