Mentos and Diet Coke - mixing an explosive concoction?

Question

Is this true?

Answer 1

I'm not so sure on that exact combo, but when I eat Bottlecaps and drink my (regular) Coke, it causes huge amount of foam, making it difficult to swallow or breathe.

Answer 2

yes, in fact, two Brazilian boys died after having coke and mentos together.

Answer 3

you have to use the mint mentos and regular coke and yes it is awesome we did it at our block party last summer!

Answer 4

Any pop works but the diet coke is the best.  You bet it's explosive (not a terrible one, but one nonetheless!)  

If you drop a pack of them into a 2L bottle (outside!!!) It'll shoot the concoction WAY up into the air :)  Pretty messy and cool.

Answer 5

yessss its true....my family doctor told me that its worst...

Answer 6

myth.

besides just drinking cola or eating mentos will do enough damage over time.

you have read the ingredients on these items right?   you did look up the chemicals names?

you do realize you're going to die from either a heart attack, stroke or obesity?

ok,  then drink water and eat your veggies....

Answer 7

Yes i have seen it being done.You put a whole pack of mentos in to a big bottle of coke and do it outside oh and wear a wetsuit if don't want to get wet.
