Mentos dropped into diet sodas will cause the CO2 to come out of solution very quickly. It is believed that the irregular surface of the candy provides an ideal location for bubbles to form and accelerates the process many times the normal speed, causing the geyser of soda to spew out of the top. Just about any Diet Soda will work and it goes about 10 feet!
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.
Well, it doesn't! Both regular and diet explode after dropping mentos in it! It's simply; both have carbonation!
yes and even better than regular soda I believe diet coke is the best
Dropping Mentos into soda will cause it to explode.
Because they react
Dr.Pepper
They explode because of the baking soda and vinegar mixed in and when there together BOOM.
because when mentos is added with car bon dioxide it becomes a chemical reaction and soda has carbon dioxide BUT THE MOST SODA THAT WILL GO 20 FEET WILL BE DIET COKE
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.
Yes, Mentos does indeed explode but not in all fizzy drink it work best in deit coke because of the ingredients in it
No, the Mentos do not explode. There is however a physical reaction that causes a geyser to spray from an open or perforated bottle when Mentos are added to Diet Coke.Answer:Yes, although not as well as the box it comes in says (in my experience) Put 10 in a 2L soda bottle and it's about 6-10 feet, least in my experience (2 under identicle conditions)You might be interested in seeing the mythbusters test also
Acid in vinegar reacts with sodium monohydrogencarbonate (baking soda) which is present in mentos.
