Mentos (candy)

That is a physical reaction called effervescence. The carbon dioxide is super-saturated in the coke and the surface of a mentos provides nuclei upon which the bubbles can form. You can see a more controlled formation of bubbles on nuclei if you fill a glass with coke and carefully scratch the inside of the glass with the corner of a triangular file. Where the glass is scratched, bubbles will form. It will be easier to see if you use a colorless carbonated beverage or plain carbonated water.

The reason Coke and Mentos explode in a frothy fountain of bubbles is due to the process called nucleation. Nucleation is the phenomenon where a dissolved gas in a liquid is able to come out of solution by forming in a crack, crevice, hole, or any small irregularity in the container. The stream of bubbles that can bee seen bubbling to the surface of a glass of champaign is a perfect example; the dissolved gas in the champaign comes out of solution by forming in small irregularities at the bottom of the glass of champaign. Mentos are full of extremely small holes on their surface, giving dissolved gas a place to form and turn into bubbles. When the Mento is dropped into the Coke, millions of bubbles of CO2 form instantaneously on the Mento's surface through nucleation. Thus, much of the dissolved CO2 in the Coke comes out of solution instantaneously and bubbles up to the surface, creating the wonderful fountain of soda that everyone loves!

Put the mentos in the Diet Pepsi and shake it up really good then quickly take the cap of and back up.

the dimply surface in the mentos cause a polar attraction between the water molecules

The ingredients of Mentos are sugar, hydrogenated coconut oil, dextrin, gum Arabic, glucose syrup, sugar. This almost has the same ingredients as mint Mentos except that it has corn starch and other artificial flavor.

It's simple. Just take a 2-liter of coke (Diet Coke works better) and stick as many mentos in it as you want. (one will still work)

well it depnd od what kind of mentos you want or what size of mentos you want

no because it will basically explode the bottle (i tried it once - nasty clean up...)

YES it will come out your nose YES it will come out your nose

less

yes

His name is lost to the sands of time, but you KNOW there was marijuana involved.

quantity of diet coke, number of mentos, diameter of hole, amount of CO2, different types of Mentos. that's not all possible, but that's quite a few.

You will burp a lot. The sugar in the Mento causes the carbon dioxide in the soda to be released quickly. No, it will not make you explode- but you will sound very rude for a while.

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

Pretty much anything with sugar in it tends to make cola fizz up to some extent.

Try some indigestion tablets, I think they react pretty...uhm...favourably. :P

Goes without saying, but be careful with this sort of thing. Pressurised objects become extremely dangerous, even when using seemingly harmless, household ingredients. And it only needs to go wrong once to be very regrettable.

The outside of mint mentos is covered with sugar, water, and whale sperm.

well you will have to check on line to find that answer i have been searching and i never found the answer so you can you common sense to answer that question

Ae Khamsouk is a man who invented the soda explosion

you get a stomach ache nothing major

No, all mentos are chewy and are not solid but liguids trust me i am a docter and i know what i am talking about
