The guys at EepyBird (the ones who did that great video with all the fountains and stuff) did a zillion different tests and determined that a 2 L of Diet Coke and regular Mentos work the best. I saw a thing on Mythbusters where they'd seen the EepyBird video and decided to analyse it. Basically, when Mentos sink to the bottom of the Coke, the chemicals in them react with the Coke, and basically the Coke releases all of it's CO2 at once, which is the fizzing that you get. Mentos contain a certain kind of gum that seems to be a very strong key to this, but really it's all fo the chemicals in the Diet Coke and the Mentos working together. Lifesavers won't work because they don't contain exactly the right ingredients. Also, they determined that it has to be the regular Mentos, not the shiny ones. When the Mentos are too smooth like that, there aren't enough places for the molecules in the Coke to latch on, so the raction doesn't happen nearly as fast.

Digestion. The break down of your food and drink by your stomach acid is a chemical reaction. The absorption of nutrients is also a chemical reaction.
