you wouldn't actually blow up. It just hurts you for a long time.. I tried it. It hurt for about 6 days. Do not try it~

No, the mentos + soda will expand in your stomach and you will explode. Obviously.

well i tried this with 1 mentos and it didnt work (I didnt read that you had to use a whole pack) so i chugged the 2 litre and ate the rest of the mentos and nothing happend

If you drink the soda before you eat the mentos, the soda would have already fizzed and thus doesn't make a big reaction. They tested it wrong on MythBusters. The guy ate the mentos then the soda. Not soda then mentos. They do alot of things wrong, but, it is a fun show.

You don't NEED photos... you can picture it very eaily. Just some soda and alot of fizz com out of the bottle. So, just keep doig what you're doing Inovative Invinter Joe. Exeptional Instructable.

Can I drink the soda later if I got a chance to catch the 'falling soda' with a can?

I havenât been able to make Mentos explode yet. Iâve have gotten some great reactions and some high jets but no exploding bottles. Iâll have to try this project latter. As a side note, warm soda works better than cold soda.

they did this on mythbusters!

The gum arabic is what causes the reaction. Get some at your local art supply store, and skip the Mentos.

lil_johnf in reply to LeamAug 12, 2006. 7:36 PM

or u could trust mythbusters and believe that it is also the tiny holes on the mentos that create pionts for the carbon dioxide to form bubbles. and that its something else too.....cant remember...
