If you eat a Mentos mint and soda?

You're probably thinking about the famous Mentos and Diet Coke geyser experiment!

Here's what happens when you combine Mentos and soda:

* The Science: Mentos have a rough, textured surface that creates nucleation sites where carbon dioxide gas from the soda can quickly escape. The sugar in the Mentos also helps the gas release.

* The Geyser: The sudden release of gas causes a forceful eruption, shooting the soda up like a geyser.

* Why Diet Coke?: Diet Coke has a higher carbonation level than regular Coke, making the geyser more impressive.

Important Note: While this experiment can be fun and visually impressive, it's important to be careful.

* Don't try it indoors or near anything fragile. The geyser can be quite messy.

* Don't drink the soda after the experiment. The Mentos can leave behind a residue that may be harmful.

* Supervise children closely.

Have fun experimenting, but remember safety first!
