more mentos shake up the soda prior mush up mentos
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.
there is a large amount of fruit acid in mentos , so when you react it with another acid they will combine and cause a reaction: if you put a mentos in a can of soda it will erupt, explode, ect. like an explosive volcano due to the fact of the acid. Above answer is completely wrong, there are tiny nucleation sites on the mentos where the CO2 of the soda's carbonation turns to real gas and fizzes up through the tiny opening. as a result of all the bubbles, the soda literally is pushed up and out of the bottle into a soda geyser.
Pepsi = not soda Neither is Sprite. They're pop!
Because they react
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
Diet Coke and mint Mentos
gasses
From my personal experience, coca-cola has had the most amount of fizz.
it doesnt matter they are carbonated... caffeine has nothing to do with it.
The reaction between Mentos and soda is primarily a physical reaction rather than a chemical one, resulting in an exothermic process. When Mentos are added to soda, the rapid release of carbon dioxide gas creates a vigorous eruption, releasing energy in the form of heat. This is due to the nucleation sites on the surface of the Mentos facilitating the rapid escape of dissolved gas from the liquid.
it is fizzy more than the rest
