i dared my friend quite some time ago to try it with both regular and diet Coke. Nothing happened. It's just a myth. I think our saliva neutralize it. In the youtube video, they forgot about the important factor, our saliva.

Hmm, I haven't really tried mixing them. But I partly saw on Mythbusters that your stomach won't explode, so I don't think it's fatal. A lot of those youtube videos are jokes.

Mentos and Coke have chimical products that when they are mixed, produce a reaction and then you know what happen i guess :) The free-sugar is one of theses products; that's why the mentos eruption works better if you use diet coke. httpx
