Is it true u can make a "bomb" with coke and mentos? If true how?

Question

plz tell me how u make them if its true
thx

Answer 1

1) put the cola in a plastic bottle
2) put the mentos in the bottle
3) screw the "hat" on the bottle
4) wait until the bottle explode.

I wouldnot do this in home or in the street
its extremely dangerous and it makes a lot of noise.

Answer 2

No u cant make a bomb but u can make it fizz up really fast, by getting a diet coke why diet dont know just how i was told to do it and open and drop a mentos in there and it will spew up fizz like old faithful

Answer 3

not necessarily a bomb, but a very messy reaction
just drop mentos into the coke, maybe shake up the coke a little and it'll spray

salt also works

Answer 4

I think the idea is that if you do the usual coke/mentos thing in a closed bottle it will burst the bottle in a rather dramatic fashion.

Answer 5

idea is to mix all of menthos with coke at the same time.

you can either slide them into the bottle from a small tube (like rolled paper); that results in a geizer.

Or put a bit of scotch tape around it, so it keeps out the coke, but just barely. Then shake the bottle, scotch breaks, and same thing happens.

it is not chemical reaction, btw - it's just that surface of menthos forces the bubbles to form

Answer 6

Not a bomb, just a really cool fountain. They showed it on an episode of Numb3rs.
