Mentos and Diet Coke

How many are you putting in there? Unless you do a whole thing, but save them, but I'm putting them off. Now just put 7. 6. That was pretty cool, Taylor. Now, what's that called? No, no. I was here for food. I'd never done this particular experiment before. So when I saw this, I thought it would be something fun to show my little brother. The combination of carbon dioxide in the carbonated drink and the surface of the mentos mint provide the perfect environment for this reaction. The Mentos looks like a golf ball with little dimples, which allows even more of those little bubbles of carbon dioxide to form and escape. The dimples are referred to in science as nucleation sides, which is a place where physical reactions can get kickstarted. The drink is saturated solution with surface tangent and pressure keeping the bubbles locked in. When you break that tangent barrier with the candy, the bubbles can escape, but the candy allows even more bubbles to form and escape. This is sort of like a double whammy. The result is a big explosion of carbon bubbles and pop.
