This phenomena does work and was recently featured on "Myth busters". The chemical makeup of the candy causes the Co2 bubbles in the soda to explode and with no place to go they shoot out with an incredible force. Definitely don't try it indoors,...can you even imagine the mess...LOL ;-)

Yes, the guys I work with actually did this. You take a 2 litre bottle of coke and drop a whole tube of Mentos into it and watch the action... I think there's probably a technique to it but I didn't get there in time to see it all.

Watched the video, so want to try this. One tube on mentos? How about 10 tubes of Mentos?

Yes! my son and husband did this and it really works but it has to be diet cola. it is something about the diet soda that makes it shoot way high. get some cheap sodas and try it outside.

Yes you can! It's actually a diet pepsi, it causes a chemical reaction and the mixture explodes.

YES YOU CAN AND ITS PRETTY COOL, YOU TAKE THE LID OFF AND INSTANTLY AND 2 OR MORE OF THE MENTOSE AND BACK UP THE MORE YOU PUT IN THE HIGHER IT WILL SHOOT. I DO RECOMMEND YOU DO IT OUTSIDE IT WILL MAKE A MESS.

Yep, I've seen it happen. My local news station conducted a test on it and it worked. Let me see if I can find that video for you. I can't find it:( But it does happen lol.
