@chanheosican6636 15 часов назад

At first I thought it may be the phosphoric acid. However it may be a reaction between the preservatives in the diet cola and foam. It is interesting. Diet sprite does have H3PO4. Pressure foam and CO2 may be why.

Why’s the aspect ratio so messed up?

@Salamandra40k 2 месяца назад

I would guess that they originally shot the show in "widescreen," and then trimmed it down for 4:3 in post to send to any TV networks. Either way, both 4:3 and widescreen are not the same as today's modern 16:9 standard aspect ratios. To make "widescreen" width fit a 16:9, its got to cut the top and bottom out of the frame.

@Beanbag109 3 месяца назад

The amount of CO2 is different in each soda. Some soda water types actually say, small, medium or large bubbles. It’s a factor of the amount of dissolved CO2 in each liquid. Diet Coke, is actually on the very large bubble size.

@MsHojat 2 месяца назад

Requires adding energy. H2 and O2 separated contain more energy than H2O molecules, but it's very common in chemistry that there is an additional activation energy bump to overcome before dropping down to that lower energy state.

@jwolfe01234 2 месяца назад

They used generic terms during the experiments but the voiceover used the terms Diet Coke and Mentos, so clearly they got clearance after their main shoot but before airing. The stuff you mention wouldn't have been worth clearing, especially since they'd already recorded it.

@buttznstuff6510 2 месяца назад

Reminds me of how in middle school, we had this really fun chemist come by to present every year. He’d do all sorts of things, like how one year he fired a small canon in the gym with a cork as the cannonball (and he chose me as a volunteer). But anyways, the relevance here is that every year he’d do exactly this, except he’d always do the same joke where he pulls out a pack of mentos before saying “nah, I’m not using that, these are good snacks on the road. We’re using dry ice instead”. The results were pretty similar to the results the Mythbusters found with salt. The gysers always went nearly to the ceiling of the gym!

OK, CO2 is a vital component. Sugar is not as the diet soda shoots way higher. What is the other vital ingredient? Colorant? Compare diet Sprite with diet Coke. The mystery and the myth remains...

@cejannuzi Месяц назад

At first I thought the reaction was something chemical, and it would come down to some specific ingredients in diet coke. But the reaction is a physical one, and one theory is that particular make-up of diet coke is most conducive because it has a lower viscosity.
