Guest Guest Posted June 4, 2010 I'm amazed what fun scientists can have by doing things like this. It's amazing what coca cola and a little mentos can do!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Guest Posted June 4, 2010 That's because you didn't shake the cola Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Guest Posted June 5, 2010 It would be amazing if they could go to the moon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tiddly Winks 0 Posted June 5, 2010 It actually does work. If the cola has been opened, some of the carbonation will have escaped and the effect would not be so great. But the experiment does actually work.My husband wanted to try it at a friend's place (she works as a Lab Technician at a company near here) and she said 'NO WAY!'.

Lucky Strike 0 Posted June 5, 2010 well if any of you has a garden (so the house will not need... renovations! ) try it either with mentos or with salt there! But e sure that the coke is opened a few seconds before you do it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Posted June 5, 2010 Mentos + Salt + Coca Cola 0 = disaster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tiddly Winks 0 Posted June 5, 2010 Just don't forget the protective goggles. Yay to those scientists who put stock in their safety. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucky Strike 0 Posted June 5, 2010 not necessarily Laz.. it's a chemical reaction with the mentos and another one with the salt.. Both combine doesn't necessarily make a greater effect.. The could give no effect actually! Like soap.. Bubble soap. If you fill in a tub and pur some you'll get bubbles but if then we throw regular soap the bubbles start to go away. Yet the are both soaps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Foxpoly 0 Posted June 5, 2010 haha we tried to mix coca cola and mentos and had not high fountain and also we mixed mountain dew,peroxide and baking soda and liquid in bottle glowed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Posted June 5, 2010 You can only get the effect when you open the coca cola quickly, put the mentol candy in it and quickly close it. Then sha-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-ake it we-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-ell. Once you open it, it'll be a phenomenon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
