Mentos + Carbonated Beverage = ? By: Brandon Shillady and Sean Stull The Big Myth When adding a piece of Mentos candy to a carbonated beverage, out of Carbonated Water, regular Coca Cola, or Diet Coke, Diet Coke should produce the largest reaction. Hypothesis If we drop four uncoated Mint Mentos into 2-Liter bottles of Carbonated Water, Coca Cola, and Diet Coke, then the artificial sweetener of the Diet Coke will cause it to produce the highest eruption. Background Info: Source 1 2 Factors Involved in Mentos & Soda Explosion 1st Component = Soda Provides a Key Reactant of CO2 W/out CO2 from Soda, Bubbles that Form Explosion Would Not Be Formed 2nd Component = Mentos Candy Usually four Mentos Are Put in Each 2-Liter Bottle
