Why other candy make coke explode?
The idea that candy makes Coke explode is a myth. There is no scientific basis for this claim.
Here's why this myth is untrue:
* Coke is carbonated: This means it contains dissolved carbon dioxide gas under pressure.
* Candy doesn't react with Coke: Candy is primarily sugar, and sugar doesn't react with the ingredients in Coke in a way that would cause an explosion.
* Explosion requires rapid pressure change: For an explosion to occur, there needs to be a rapid increase in pressure. There's no mechanism in the combination of Coke and candy that could generate such a pressure change.
What actually happens?
When you drop candy into a bottle of Coke, you create a lot of bubbles. These bubbles are caused by the carbon dioxide gas in the Coke being released, and the candy acting as a nucleation site for bubble formation. This can make the bottle look like it's exploding, but it's just a release of pressure.
In summary:
Candy and Coke don't react in a way that causes explosions. The appearance of an explosion is simply a rapid release of carbon dioxide gas from the Coke.
