Since it was discovered that dropping mentos mints into a bottle of diet coke releases the co2 in the diet coke very rapidly, turning it into into a water cannon (really!) there has been an arms race to see who can create the most spectacular display of it.
I suspect that this video may prove to be the best one so far, at least until the next one. With help from Coca Cola and Mentos (No doubt they supplied a lot more than the the 251 bottles of diet coke and the 1500 + Mentos used in the video), to the guys at eepybird who made the video (and starred in it).
The reason for this reaction is nucleation where the surface of a mentos mint is able to help release the super saturated co2 stored in the diet coke very very quickly.
Don’t swallow diet coke and mentos at the same time- it is dangerous! (There are videos of people doing this I understand!).
For a humourous take on Mentos/Diet Coke experiments and videos here’s something I wrote!
