This is actually astounding to me. I would love to know which ingredients in each the Pepsi/Coke and Mentos causes this reaction. All I can say is that it has something to something to do when both mixed together is mixed with air…..

It makes me wanna have Science class all over again.

it’s all about chemistry!

Bunch of fuckin’ idiots. Sooner or later, (if they stupid wankers have’nt done yet, that is),someone or something is gonna get nailed by this stupid shit. I mean look where the fuck you fools are pullin’ this shit off.

the name of the song is by ac/dc..its called thunder

Byteme,
Safety first eh! Maybe we should all empty our gastanks, and sit in our garages with seatbelts and bike helmets on for all eternity so we don’t get hurt. Big Baby.

I believe it’s more about physics than chemistry. The irregular surface area of the mentos causes the C02 to form bubbles MUCH more rapidly than it does on the smooth inside of the plastic bottle. this works with anything you dump inside that has a lot of irregular surface area, like life savers.

Great aussie rock get it in ya

We dont have mentos over here, but sugar-free polo mints also work a treat. The active ingredients that react I believe, is Magnesium stearate from the polo mints and phosphoric acid from the coke/pepsi.

um actually the main reaction comes from carbonated water and sugar.

if you ever had 1 of those sodastream machines as a kid, when you carbonated your own water you had to pour the syrup in REALLY slowly, otherwise it just went BOOM, and we never had the balls to try carbonating pure syrup. that would have been fun.

if you can get a sodastream machine, just carbonate tap water, and drop the mentos in – same reaction, but free.

Hey, if you put sugar in pop then it does the same thing. Try it with fuzzy peaches instead, or some other highly concentrated sugar snack.

Lol, thts awesome, im tryin that 2moz, dus it have 2 be diet coke or pepsi???

what is mentos where do u get it in th uk

if anyone figures out how to seperate the memintos until impact please email me at spikeboi13@hotmail.com.

it should be diet, because sugar makes it stickier.

Once when I was little, 8 years old or so helping my mother carry some shopping home, I dropped an unopened large bottle of coke on the floor and it exploded like that, shot right accross the park.

tell me how to do it my email is coolhotboy_123@hotmail.com

Dweezil there is a sligt posobility that roll made of news paper will delay the reaction other then that there is a posibility of dipping mentoes into melted sugar (not using your fingers to hold it) and never close the bottle even so it is made to sustaine loads of presure incase it blows you dont whant to be neer it.

It’s the gum arabic and gelatin in the mentos that decrease the surface tension of the water in the coke. that allows a rapid expansion of the size of the C02 gas bubbles that were previously dissolved. i tried it last night, worked pretty well. i dropped half a mentos into a 2 liter of store brand diet coke, and it shot about 3 feet in the air. As for the rockets, what worked best for me was about 3 mentos in a 2 liter, and screw the lid on tight, let it fizz up, unscrew the lid slightly, and throw it down to hit the ground lid first. got about 20 feet of vertical height and about 50 feet of horizontal distance.

man that was one of the colest things ive seen in a while it would be funny if it shot up and smacked one of the guys in the face though

Great ! Let us know how you got punished : )

maN, thats the coolest thing ever!!

Awesome!!!!

Uhhhh this isn’t something newww!!! i used to do this back in junoir high and i never needed mentos.

Ya nick, do that in your school… you dumbass.

were gonna try this later, when we get drunk, were gonna test out 6 mentos in the original package just shoived in, and then were gonna try out some other stuff to. going to post results LATERZ YALL, i would like to give a shout-out to the guy that said I LIKE PANCAKES! I LOVE THEM TO LITTLE BUDDY! KEEP ON ROCKING!

My friend and I just did this in the Wal-Mart parking lot with 3 Mentos and a 2 liter! Oh my GOD!! It shot high enough with such force it landed on top of Wal-Mart!!!

enough with diet coke already! Try a budweiser instead, add a few one-inch long concrete nails inside the bottle, and add exactly one-third of a menthos wrapped with tissue paper, and plug a cork on the bottle opening.
Dont throw it on passing car’s windshield, u might just kill somone.

There was an episode where if you watch the Discovery Channel the MythBusters had a real fun time with this they figured out how to make the stream of coke shoot up to 33 feet or around there. It was a pretty cool episode and if you can catch the rerun it would be worth it. Or you can go to Discovery.com and buy that episode to figure all the dinamics out because they do it all for you.

@lame: you need A} A girl friend. B} A life, or C} a new outlook on americans, or stop raising reeaaly racist and nationalist comments, like tentacles in the Magnetic Floating bed. So, just plz stop doing this all you people who just want to start internet fights about racists and nationalists.

Pwnd.

IT WORKS!!! AHA TRY IT… I AM AHAHAHAHA

hi guys im sooo sexyyyy
