Have you ever wondered what would happen if you combine Mentos and soda? Charlie saw a YouTube video where his favorite YouTuber tried this science experiment and he asked me if we could try it.
We decided to experiment with 2 liter regular cola, diet cola, grape, orange, and mountain dew. We also used 20oz regular and diet cola, and 1 liter seltzer.
The diet cola gave us the largest reaction.
The flavored colas gave us the most colorful reactions, naturally!
Check out the full video on our YouTube channel to see how the other drinks performed in this experiment!Soda Explosion!!! Mentos and Coke Science Experiment
What's the science behind the Soda Explosion?
The eruption is caused by a physical reaction. When the carbon dioxide is released from the Mentos, it rapidly releases gas bubbles that push the soda out of the bottle.
Why did the Diet Cola have a bigger explosion?
Diet Cola has a little more carbonation and sweeteners than regular cola which make cause a bigger reaction.
