The Mystery of Mentos and Diet Soda

Have you ever put a handful of Mentos in a bottle of diet soda before? If you haven’t, trust me you need to try it. I’m not quite sure what it is in the Mentos that makes the diet soda go flying but it’s awesome! Check this out:

The key thing to know is that once the Mentos have been deposited into the bottle of diet soda, YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF THE WAY! My friend and I tried this the other day to make sure it worked (I would never give my fellow bloggers false information!) and it does. Unfortunately, my friend decided to look into the bottle right as it started spraying and she was drenched. I would advise using diet soda because it doesn’t have all the sugar and it’s a lot less sticky.

Good luck my friends. Have a great weekend!
