i think you'll have stomach problems because of the mint and the coke carbon..

No, this is not true. If you had a few packets of mento's to a 2 litre bottle of cola, then it fizzes up and causes a big spurt of cola to come out the top of the bottle. Supposedly, if you take poprocks and cola together, it causes your stomach to explode. This too, is an urban legend.

I highly doubt that. It's like the old "poprocks and pepsi" myth. If you really want to know, submit your idea to "myth busters" on the discovery channel!

It's not true at all and you can see it on snopes... and actually, it's diet coke and mentos that does it - put them in a bottle shake 'em up and watch them go.

I know if you put one inside a coke that gives a nasty reaction... So inside you it works the same way... But i think it only gives a nice pain in the stomache

No, its like that old myth about Pop Rocks and Pepsi. They said your stomach would explode but of course that is not true.

It makes no sense. Coke and mentos together can not kill... But they aren't healthy ;]
