Mentos are made by Perfetti Van Melle, an Italian company. The company has factories in America, and Europe.
What happens when you drop a Mentos in water or milk?
When you drop Mentos into Diet Coke, the bottle will become a geyser, shooting soda up to 20 feet high. This happens because the Mentos' surface catches the small carbon dioxide bubbles and connects them into much larger ones. When the bubbles break off the candy's surface, they burst and cause the soda to shoot out of the bottle.
Why does coke and Mentos make a volcano?
Because the carbon dioxide produced (coke is a carbonated beverage) fizzes up and explodes due to the surface area of the mentos. Remember all reactions, apart from nuclear reactions, occur on surfaces. For the same reason, vinegar and baking soda react likewise. There is very vigorous bubbling looking like an explosion due to the rapid evolution of carbon dioxide.
How much time takes to die from drink coke with Mentos?
No, you would simply feel strain in your stomach, and possibly throw up. If you hel it in, it would sooner be forced into the next organs than rupture you.
Mentos do dissolve but they realease Co2 which creates pressure in excess with the Co2 in diet coke (the thing that makes the bubbly feeling in your mouth is Co2) Which is why the stuff overflows and explodes.
How much Mentos come in a packet?
A roll of Mentos averages around 90¢, depending on where you live and where it comes from (they will cost more from vending machines than from checkout lanes, for example). One way or another, they usually sell for about the same price as a candy bar.
How much sodium do Mentos have?
Not too much, actually, and reasonable for people on a low sodium diet. Some packs have around 30mg per 100, others as low as 5, and others much higher.
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)

How high will Coca-Cola explode with Mentos?
Diet Coke usually works best, but depending on the number of Mentos you use, it varies!
Using a small Coke bottle won't erupt more than five feet high, but a 2-liter style bottle (if you use an entire roll of Mentos) Can reach about 30 feet in the air.
Why do you get a bigger eruption with diet coke and mentos?
It doesn't. However, most geyser-makers prefer diet soda over regular because the sugar substitute is not sticky (sugar, of course, is very sticky) and therefore does not make as much of a mess for the ones standing nearby or cleaning up after! out during the explosion.
Answer:when i tried to see if coke or Pepsi max would Not necessarily The reason for the geyser is not a chemical reactionause the diet soda doesn't have nearly as sticky residue if not cleaned up properly.Because it has less sugar.
What Mentos make soda explode?
The soda is packed with loads of bubbles that want to get out of the liquid. To do so they need to form bubbles around something like a spec of dirt or a tiny dent in the bottle. That's why you see bubbles forming from the same places in glasses of soda.
A mentos has a very rough surface (on a microscopic scale) so when you put it in all the millions of bubbles suddenly form on the mint creating loads of gas which has to go somewhere. So it blasts out the top of the drinks bottle. It works with any rough surfaced material like chalk, not just mentos.
Why does Mentos make the coke react?
Mentos fizz because of the nucleation sites on the surface of the Mentos. These are basically microscopic holes and when it comes into contact with the coke all of the dissolved carbon dioxide condenses and form bubbles that wear away layers of the mentos where more nucleation sites are accessible by the carbon dioxide. This is why the reaction is not repeatable with the same coke or a flat coke.
How high does sprite with Mentos go?
It can go at least 25 to 36 feet in the air if you shake up well
What happen when you add Mentos to coffee?
I tried Coffee with Mentos, the Coffee becomes a little minty. No reactions similar to Coke and Mentos, but personally I didn't like the after taste of the combination.
How high does sprite shoot up in the air if you put Mentos in it?
Maybe a foot. Sodas don't have fins and they have no balance, so they'll go up a little ways, flop over, go back to earth and shoot off horizontally.
As to how far it'll go horizontally, it depends on how full the soda was, how large the bottle was and how many Mentos you put in.
Do diet sodas explode with Mentos?
yes and even better than regular soda I believe diet coke is the best
Why do Mentos fizz up in soda?
Because at a microscopic level, the shell of Mentos is very uneven, and the carbonated bubbles in the soda are immediately attracted to them. This results in a disruption of the surface tension of the soda, which causes all the carbon dioxide to escape the liquid at once. For a better explanation, see the Related Link below.
What is the chemical reaction to soda and Mentos?
The way that this works is that when the mentos enter the soda they sink to the bottom and starts the reaction. The reaction has started when the bubbles start reaching the top and they can't mix with oxygen.
Does root beer work better in a Mentos explosion?
because the ingridient that works in coke is in root beer and it reacts to the mentos o ya!
Why does coca cola explode when Mentos are dropped into it?
Basically, you are witnessing the Surface Effect. Carbon Dioxide forms bubbles. Diet Coke has more carbon dioxide than other regular sodas. The surface of the "mento" is jagged and filled with nooks and crannies. The Carbon Dioxide finds all of these holes and fills them with bubbles. Since the Mentos are heavy, they drop to the bottom of the bottle, forming bubbles all the way down. This is what causes the fast and furious explosion out of the top of the Diet Coke bottle.
