Mentos & Coke - Mentos and Coke -- I wonder what would happen if they got together?

I've heard that if you put Mentos mints into a bottle of Coke, it will explode. Do you think this is true or merely an unban legend?

I have heard it too. But I don't know what is the real fact. I guess to know the real thing we have to experiment it iwht Mentos&Coke.

I think I'll have to give it a shot -- the fact that I want to may mean that I'm an overgrown 10 year old!

This was on myth busters and if I remember right it can build up enough pressure to make the coke come squirting out of the bottle pretty far into the air.

Yeah, I saw this on Mythbusters too. They had so many boxes of mentos laying around for this myth that all of the crew got really bad sugar highs lol. I love mentos.

Id never heard that before, id say youd have to try it to find out. My guess is that it will just fizz up.

That's what I would think will happen. Maybe I'll try it (outside of course, just in case!).

My neighbour's son did that and yes, it is a fact not an urban legend.

I never heard about it.I am hearing it for the first time from you.I honestly believe that it might produce some fuming affect that's it.

no it is a myth. It will fizz up a lot but not explode. If you put mentos in your mouth and coke at the same time it will fizz up like you are foaming at the mouth. Now that is fun to do.
