Why do diet coke and mentos react? |
[Edit] |
[Edit] 
Mentos have a lot of tiny holes on them (think of the moon's surface), and diet coke is carbonated. When you drop the mento in, the carbon dioxide in the soda comes out into the tiny holes on the mento, and it happens very fast. The bubbles float to the top very fast. The aspritame and caffiene increase the effects, thus having the bubbles rocket out so fast that the some of the soda is dragged along, thus creating the large fountain of soda.
