Coca Cola + Mentos = volcanic explosion

page 1 of 1

An interesting research revealed that eating Mentos sweets together with drinking Coke can caused intense stomach ache and possibly, vomiting too . Then, an experiment with these sweets and drink confirmed this theory stunningly like a game.
Just imagine this impact if happened inside the stomach, far from being a comedic cartoon show. How is it possible to explain this process? (sorry, my science knowledge is terrible indeed ^_^')

you can watch this experiment going along at here

Well i think the reaction between the animal gullotine in the mentos sweet and the gasses produced by coca cola mainly carbon dioxide is the reason for this side effect.... well thank god..*mental note to self*... dont ever drink coca-cola while eating mentos ever again X-P

We found with out last year. It was a waste of 1.23 dollars though :(. :P a coke can and an orange mentos

well if you would like to know the mintos have a slightliy ruff surface and the carbon gas git a ttracted to it creating bubles at a really fast reat causing the a violent reaction thats how it occurs it makes quite a state if you do that so if you plan on doing this i sujest you have a mop handy lol

For those who have not seen the videos check out http://eepybird.com/dcm1.html.
Who says scientific research can't be fun. :)

Lol I've heard of this, but I'll never attempt to experiment with it XD Unless I want a storm in my stomach x_x

Heard the video was extremely popular on YouTube... Guess that's where my school's Science Club ppl got their inspiration from. We used Pepsi instead,the results were just as explosive. Not much idea how the reaction occurs.... sorry ^_^'

well, ever tried mixing dry ice with a bottle of coke? you put a small chunk of dry ice in a bottle of 1.5L of coke and close the bottle. shake it well and throw it as high as you can. When it hits the grown, the whole thing explodes like crazy!

That's the most weird thing I've seen in a while, though I shouldnt be surprised because of how much shit they put on the Coke >.<

OMG I've heard of that from my sis! We're even planning on conducting the experiment in a different way XD Shake a bottle of Coke and pop the mentos in LOL It'll probably wont work anyway but then again, its risky ^_^'

you only eat suadero tacos from pantitlan station letter Q is the same...
or i could eat an hamburger from mc donalds with coca :s

i wacht is xperimet in discovey channel, in the show mythbuster,
the experiment can be done with gasified drinks and the mentos, reacion that is caused when being combined is that since the mentos contain small bubbles which they produce carbon monoxide, the experiment also is possible to be obtained with rock salt or products with small bubbles (microscopic), also can be exploded a bottle putting dry ice inside, soon to add water to him and to close it quickly and soon to see from distant spot this is delayed just in case XD. very it is amused to do it, but he is dangerous (this explodes by the carbon dioxide concentration in the bottle which explodes so that no longer it can contain but I oxygenate) that has Merry Christmas

i am chilean the xperiment in spanish are:
El experimento se puede hacer con bebidas gasificadas y los mentos, la reacion que se provoca al combinarse es que ya que los mentos contienen pequeñas burbujas las cuales producen monoxido de carbono, el experimento tambien se puede lograr con sal en roca o productos con burbujas pequeñas (microscopicas), tambien se puede hacer estallar una botella metiendo hielo seco dentro, luego agregarle agua y cerrarla rapidamente y luego ver desde lejos esto se demora por si acaso XD. es muy divertido hacerlo, pero es peligroso (esta explota por la concentracion de dioxido de carbono en la botella la cual explota por que ya no puede contener mas oxigeno) que tengan felices navidades

Its funny how the video says Coke in the title when its actually Pepsi.

Anyways isn't this the same as mixing vinegar and bicarbonate soda?

hey, thX for the warning!

bcoz i drink Sodas almost evryday! >.<
n candies too, sumtimes ^^

Bad habbit to drink pop everyday, it makes people over wieght. try dropping a pennie in coke for a few days, itll dissolve. Great to know we're putting something that can disolve copper in our stomachs isnt it? Cool experiment by the way.

Soft drinks are acid...

Well, carbon dioxide mix with water you yield carbonic acid...

It's pretty weak...but can still damage you if taken too much...

I TESTED IN MY BATHROOM.....I DON'T TELL YOU WHAT MY MOTHER SAID AFTER!

Neh, I tried that experiment in my Chem class... We tried 3 pieces of Mentos and the whole liter of Coke (with a hole in the cap) spewed out in 5 seconds flat!
There was a HUGE explosion of Coke all over the place! >.<

The reaction of the two is quite fast, actually. The more Mentos you eat, the more it's going to become active and explosive.

Works with Pepsi too. XD
