Is it possible to EXPLODE from Coke and Mentos?

Question

Okay so I saw and heard something that if u drink 1 liter of coke and 1 pack of mentos that you will explode? True or not? Frankly I think its hard jus to drink one liter of coke!

Answer 1

That is completely false. What I think you heard was them pouring 1 pack of mentos into a liter of coke. That is the only way it will work

Answer 2

I think the T.V. show mythbusters on the discovery channel might have proved this either wrong or right...I would google the mythbusters website...

Answer 3

Having seen what coke (usually diet coke) and mentos can do in the way of a sprayed high fountain , I certainly wouldn't want to find out.  I don't think that you would actually explode, but I don't like the possibilities.

Answer 4

No. The reaction between Diet Coke (or any soda, really, as long as it contains aspartame) & Mentos only happens if the Mentos are still all in one piece - the reaction happens partly because mint Mentos are covered with all these tiny pits. (There are other factors, too, like the soda's carbonation, but I don't know how that would work out if the soda was in your stomach rather than in the bottle.)

And, yeah, I think it would be pretty hard to drink a liter of soda! =)
