Menta Explosion
- Heres why!
Mentos contain sugar, glucose syrup (more sugar), hydrogenated coconut oil, starch, gum arabic, an emulsifier and natural flavor. The gum arabic which makes Mentos chewy, cause the surface tension of the water molecules to break even more easily, releasing more carbon dioxide gas. This effect is enhanced by the fact that, as the candy dissolves, it forms nucleation sites -- tiny pits on the surface of the mint where more carbon dioxide bubbles can form. When all this gas is released, it thrusts the entire contents of the bottle skyward, in an incredible soda blast. Hopefully you've decided to use diet soda or you may be running for the shower!

- BS...
I did this trick - it works great, but the candy doesn't dissolve a bit. I'm betting that it has more to do with the candies displacing liquid and the carbonated water rushing in to fill the voids. I will experiment with marbles and maybe washers or something. Bush haters can try a soda and menthos enema - PLEASE! ;)

BS? Have fun with your marbles and washers. If you don't have enough just tilt your head and shake. Some more should fall out.

i tried this and did not work, 13 mentos and a bottle of coke, can you imagine my disappointment. What went wrong?
By passingby 1147505193 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- 0
- flat or cold
You need a fresh opend bottle at room temp. you have to break the seal right before the trick. also if it was shaken so you get that rush of gass when you open it it will mess it up.

Ok, when I saw consumption junction at the bottom and the word 'explosion' in the title, I was waiting for the bottle to explode and put the guys eye out or something. Pretty cool video I guess, I was just disappointed...

That's awesome - I might try it sometime. Another fun waste of your money is to take a can of soda (not the plastic bottles, but the aluminum cans), shake it up quite a bit, and then throw it as high and far as you can (over a concrete surface) and watch the result as it hits the ground...

Obviously someone who has a scientific interest that goes well beyond your vocabulary limitations of "cool" and horrific syntax construction.

Yea, but can you still eat the Mentos afterwards??
By 1129405593 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- 0
- of course you can still eat them
are you daft or something? I'm not sure how good they will tast but they will not hurt you.
By thatoneguy 1152238873 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove892545 - 1
Stop glassblower! The reaction of the carbonated water on the carboxymenthyl cellulose in the Mentos coating may amplify the already copious amount of water you have surrounding your mimi-micro brain. I may suggest you stick them deep into your colon, put your corrective shoes on the wrong feet, and stumble around!

he said that mentos was chosen because of its "chalky quality". Blackboard chalk added in water also fizzes.
Note that they are using all brands of soda! No competition here!
