THIS IS A BIG MYTH...
CONSUMING COKE AND MENTOS CANT KILL YOU!!!
People think this happens in STOMACH and it will get burst.. which is simply NOT TRUE because by the time the COKE get to your STOMACH and as well as MENTOS reach there the GAS has already expired!!!
Here's the scientific explanation as to why Coke will charge when MENTOS were dropped in a bottle....
Few Key ingredients of the Diet Coke & the Mentos
Diet Coke
- CO2
- Aspartane (Artificial Sweetner)
- Pottasium Benzonate (Preservative)
- Caffaine
And in Mentos
- Gum Arabic
- Gelatine
And a process called "Nucliation" which is when you actually put the Mentos in the coke Millions of microscopic pits of the Mentos releases Millions of CO2 Bubbles in a very quick time as it dives into the bottle!!!
So that's it!!! You actually can get a 10+ feet fountain.. if you drop 8 Mentos into a 1.5ltr Diet coke bottle
Cool ha...
