How do you make a Mentos bomb?

Answer 1

Take a bottle of soda (any kind will do). Open the cap. Then, make sure you have a mint Mentos packet. The mint Mentos works best because of the reaction. Then, drop the desired amount of Mentos between 1 and 5 into the bottle. Stand back!

It will explode. You may see the Mentos shoot out. Be careful though. If you use more than 5 Mentos, the bottle might explode. 5 Mentos already can topple the soda bottle and create a break at the mouth of the bottle.

Answer 2

The candy (Mentos) does not explode, nor is there a chemical reaction. What the candy fragments are doing is releasing the LARGE quantity of carbon dioxide gas that is dissolved in the soda and gives it its "fizz."

This particular candy forms thousands of pits on the outside of the candy. This creates "nucleation points" for the carbon dioxide gas that is dissolved in the soda. Each particle of the candy creates a gas pocket (fizz) that rapidly rises to the top, disturbing even more gas molecules on the way up. This chain reaction strips as much as 80% of the carbon dioxide from the drink, and this rapidly rising gas also pushes the liquid soda upward and out of the bottle with great force. This is usually not enough pressure to burst the plastic bottle.

Answer 3

A Mentos geyser requires a few simple components. One needs a bottle of Diet Coke, six Mentos mints, an index card, and paper. Roll the paper around the mints and set on the index card. Position the mints over the mouth of the bottle and yank the card out of the way for the mints to slide inside.

Answer 4

Get a 2 liter bottle of diet coke get some mentos and drop about for mentos in the coke

Answer 5

you get a large bottle of coke drink at least half of it the but in the mentos on a strap of some sort on the edge of the cap and then shack it up

Answer 6

nickel equals one dollar You could buy coke for a nickel
