Yeah, me and a friend tryed it after seeing it on google video. He didn't realize how fast it reacted and got the soda steam in the face

The reaction has something to do with the arabic gum in the mentos and the carbonation in the soda. Google makes me sound like a genius

They should've had more showmanship; drink a can and swallow the mentos!

That would be awesome! You try it first

Can't you blow up the bottle if you put the lid back on?

In theory if the pressure get's high enough inside the bottle. (looking at that video makes my think it is)

Then we can sue Coke and whoever makes mentos, and spend it all on portabizing things! Or paying the medical bills, your choice

something simialr to this is to get those soluble vitamin tablets, you're supposed to put them in a glass and drink they solution

Naturally we had to put one of them in our mouths volia, foaming at the mouth

even if it was orange, i accidentally swallowed a chunk, not a good idea, i was burping all day

Imagine if you unknowingly drank a can of pop then popped a mento. With that kind of reaction couldn't you hurt yourself?

Forget hurting yourself, you'd simply die.

Nope just very violent vomiting.
