Answer 1

MythBusters, two guys in San Francisco - Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman - who put urban myths, commonly held beliefs and tall tales to the test. In a new episode airing Wednesday at 9 p.m. EDT, MythBusters tackles this modern day myth with interesting results. According to Hyneman (he's the mustachioed MythBuster), it's a process called "nucleation'', in which the particular chemistry of the Mentos candy interacts with the chemistry of the carbonated Diet Coke, causing the carbon dioxide gas, or CO2, to suddenly come out of suspension in the liquid and make a break for freedom.'

The alert about an unnamed child in Brazil's sorry fate began circulating on the Internet in November 2006. Since no
checkable details are provided in the account (the deceased is described as "a little boy" rather than by name, he died in "Brazil" rather than in any particular city or region within that country, and his demise occurred "last week" rather than on a specific date), the story should be regarded as fiction. No news accounts of such a death (in Brazil or elsewhere) have surfaced, and given the media's interest in "Mentos effects," such write-ups wouldn't have gasped their last on a jaded editor's desk because they weren't deemed sufficiently newsworthy to include in that day's edition of the local rag. Likewise, with regard to "One year before the same accident happened with another boy in Brazil," once again the news is silent regarding such a death.

However, the failure of this explosive combination of candy and soda to cause any fatalities should not be taken as a ringing endorsement of chasing down a handful of Mentos with as much pop as can be gulped. A harmless procedure it's clearly not — one look at online video clips of the force of "Mentos effect" eruptions shooting out of pop bottles should convince even the most adventurous not to risk any part of their digestive systems on such parlor tricks. Those who have disregarded common sense and tried such anyway report that the intensity of the reaction forces the mouth open, thereby releasing most of the gas and foam into the wild, as it were, rather than keeping them contained within the person. Do not try such experiments yourself though. Videos of those who have attempted such foolishness consistently show the subjects experiencing great physical distress in the aftermath of their ill-judged stunts.

The "child who died from combining Mentos and Coca-Cola" story is an updating of an older legend that began in 1979. That year, the grist being run through the rumor mill included the sad tale of a misadventuring tot who had gulped soda and ingested Pop Rocks, a carbonated candy known for producing a fizzling sensation in the mouth. According to legend, said child went out with a bang. Further versions of the story specified the deceased youngster was the taciturn "Mikey" of LIFE cereal commercials.

Once again there hadn't been such a child, but that did little to slow the rumor's spread. The gruesome appeal of the combusted tot story kept the legend in circulation long after it had been repeatedly debunked and dismissed.

Answer 2

I would not do it

My kids and I took a 2 liter bottle of diet coke and put some Mentos in it. Diet coke shot about 12 feet it in the air. Great 30 seconds of entertainment.

Answer 3

I saw Letterman do it and thought it was cool. Told my kids about it and they didn't believe me.. so I took a new non-diet coke outside and let one mentos into the bottle (they did the honors) and it shot up and impressed.
I don't think it will do it. I think you will be fine. Your mouth would neutralize the reaction before it would be possible.
My kids tried to add another mentos to the same bottle and nothing. I think your mouth would make it like the second try. But feel free to prove me wrong.

Answer 4

The reaction is immediate and has to be with fresh carbonated coke. It has to do with the outer surface of the mentos too, so as soon as either of these things were broken down through chewing and in your stomach there would be no reaction. If, however, there were a reaction, you would just burp a really long time.
