Guest philp Posted September 12, 2006 CID Share Posted September 12, 2006 Is this the first time you've seen that? I've seen the one where a TV news crew is interviewing a guy who explains how it works. Whole tube of Mentos in the 2 liter is pretty cool! BTW, they use diet because it's easier to clean up. No sugar. Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/15471-1-2-litre-of-diet-coke-and-4-mentos/#findComment-172301 Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotmilk Posted September 13, 2006 CID Share Posted September 13, 2006 That's crazy. I've done Diet Coke and Mentos before, but only one bottle at a time. Does that work with other sodas?

tommie gorman Posted September 13, 2006 CID Share Posted September 13, 2006 Here is another 552 vid's if anyone is interested. http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=Diet+coke+and+mentos Googles new video section. I was trying to see if I could find the one with the girl with the Big Hoots doing it. I am suprised they don't just use carbonated water.

Voltageman Posted September 13, 2006 CID Share Posted September 13, 2006 Any carbonated beverage will work with the mentos. The more carbonated, the better. It happens because of tons of little dimples(like a golf ball, but much smaller), all along the outside of the mentos. The dimples collect C02 and force it out of the soda very quickly, therefore, you get the soda flying out of the bottle. The more mentos you use, the faster the CO2 will be force out. I forget the exact term for it. Anything with small enough depressions on it will do the same thing. It actually has nothing to do with the chemical composition of the mentos. Another fun thing to do... Take some sulfur(from a chemistry set), and some aluminum foil. Place sulfur in the aluminum foil, fold up the foil, and place in a pile of leaves...Wait a few minutes, and have something to put the fire out...

tommie gorman Posted September 14, 2006 CID Share Posted September 14, 2006 Vinegar and baking soda will pressurize also. Makes a cool volcano.
