I heard that 2 kids died after eating mentos with coke. Is it true ?

It won't kill anyone but I let some guys that work for me try the "mentos in the coke" experiment in the parking lot at work and I saw it pretty much explode with my own eyes. Pretty neat trick.

Sounds like an urban myth that anyone would die from eating Mentos and Coke although I was at a Blue Man Group show last weekend and they put a lot of Mentos in a bottle of Coke and it did cause it to fizz up a lot.

On Mythbusters, they tested each ingredient of the diet coke to see if they had a contributing effect on the reaction. They found that almost all ingredients contributed to it - thus diet coke's combination of ingredients worked the "best" but other sodas would work also. They also determined that the coating of the Mentos - which has very small dimples (think golf ball) which allows the CO2 little areas to "settle into" and once the threshold is hit, forces the CO2 out of the bottle violently.

I don't know about dying, but if you drop a tube of mentos into abottle of coke (warm diet works the best) it causes a reaction that makes the coke fizz. The coke erupts out of the bottle like a volcano. I cant imagine this would kill you, but it would probably give you a pretty upset stomach!

I dont know if its true, i got an email saying that too.Although, it may not be true, adding mentos to coke does produce a chemical reaction(all that fizz).Anyway, coke isnt good for ur health.Try drinking fruit juice or milk and milk milkshakes.

i havent heard of anyone killed from it but the mentos does cause a reaction with diet coke that causes it to foam up.

I have also seen that email but I really don't know its true or not, people who can really clarify that is from people in Brazil as this originated from there
