Sour Skittles will not cause an explosion like Mentos do with soda. The reaction that creates the explosive fizz is specifically due to the rough surface of Mentos candy interacting with Carbonated Beverages, leading to rapid gas release. Sour Skittles, while they may have a tangy coating, do not have the same physical properties to trigger such a reaction. Therefore, they will not explode in the same way.
No, mentos (mint not flavored mentos)make root beer "explode" not skittles.
The reaction between Sour Skittles and Diet Coke is due to the presence of citric acid in the Sour Skittles. Citric acid is a weak organic acid commonly used as a flavoring agent in sour candies. When the Sour Skittles are dropped into Diet Coke, which contains carbon dioxide gas, the citric acid reacts with the carbon dioxide to produce carbon dioxide bubbles. This reaction creates a fizzy, bubbling effect, causing the Sour Skittles to "explode" or fizz when placed in the Diet Coke.
Its Probobly Because Skittles have a shell on the outside but that's Just a theory.
original skittles is fruit flavour but sour is sour powder added to it and on top as well
POP I suppose??
Because of the carbon dioxide in the Mentos :)
Strawberry
stop with the mentos and get some pie instead.
Skittles, Sour Skittles (double!), Snickers, and suckers (lollipops)
Dropping Mentos into soda will cause it to explode.
Mentos!!
