Mentos react with Ginger Ale due to the rough surface of the candies, which facilitates rapid carbon dioxide gas release from the soda. When the Mentos are dropped into the ginger ale, they disrupt the liquid’s surface tension and provide many nucleation sites for the gas bubbles to form. This leads to a rapid eruption of foam as the gas escapes, creating an impressive geyser effect. The reaction is particularly dramatic with diet sodas, as they contain less sugar, which allows for a more vigorous release of gas.
