It'll make you think twice the next time you want to take a drink of diet coke with a Mentos mint candy in your mouth.

IanD Cream of the Crop Honorary Moderator  More info | Good lord! I got hooked on Mentos on the drive down to GMOS two weeks ago. We had a cooler full of Coke in the back of the van but were too lazy to stop and dig one out. Geez, can you see that all over the inside of a Venture? Ian (®Feathers & Fur)

I'm planning on incorporating it in my Physical Science curriculum. The kids love stuff like this!

It's physical, not chemical. The many surfaces of a mentos candy make for places for air to hide on the way down. Forcing that air into the bottle (since the candy sinks) is like shaking the s*** out of the bottle, only worse. POP! Mac users swear by their computers. PC users swear at theirs.

POP! I guess I'm safe too, then. I hate soda, and I don't eat candy. It's not really air but the carbon dioxide gases in the soda nucleating around the candy but you got the basic gist of it. ...Leo
