Diet Coke and mentos!

Video: Uhmmm video was lost...

So, In class today we added up diet coke with mentos and it shot out into the air. PRETTTY DARN COOL! hehe. Well materials needed are:

• Diet Coke (Chilled)
• Mentos
• A circular tube that the mentos can fit through

To have this process happen just open a new bottle of diet coke and put the tube on the lip of the diet coke, add mentos and BOOM! Reaction. hahaha

SCIENCE!: The caffeine, potassium benzoate, aspartame, and CO₂ gas contained in the Diet Coke and the gelatin and gum arabic ingredients of the Mentos all contribute to the jet effect
