Coke and Mentos Experiment

Grandpa Wes, Grandma Cheryl and Aunt Steph made a trip to KC last weekend. Regardless of the extreme heat we had a great visit. One of our activities included an experiment that Wes and Cheryl heard about. It involves Coke and Mint Mentos. If you put the Mentos in the coke the coke will shoot out of the bottle. Here is the preparation of the experiment. It all happened so fast that both Cheryl and I missed the actual explosion. Later we learned that Diet Coke actually works better and found some different techniques to a successful explosion on YouTube. We will have to try it out again.
