I show you how Mentos is only a catalyst to release CO2 See the full video here: • What Really Happens Wh... Subscribe to my main channel: / @theactionlab #shorts
Everyone has been doing it with regular coke instead of diet coke for so long, that nobody even says anything anymore. We've forgotten as a society how it's supposed to be done...
It's just the extreme amount of nucleation sites in the Mentos. In theory any material with similar properties would cause the effect. Would be interesting to see if you could get activated charcoal to work, however the issue would be getting it to sink to the bottom.
Oh that's a really cool idea! Presumably it would work even better, since the, "properties", in question are just the object's surface area. (just leaving this here to complete the explanation)
@@mgeller854 lol Mentos rock vs. charcoal rock experiment Probably you'd ideally want to use something more consistent so where it's glued doesn't matter. A magnet or two, or stainless washers maybe.
Impressed daily. And you appear to be having such a great time no matter the experiment.Thank you for joy and education during all of these unpredictable world events.Great to be distracted by knowledge! Thanks again for all of the times that no one said anything... I hope that they will in the future... Keep it up and I'll keep watching. I've shared your videos with everyone I know.
I remember the Mythbusters noted the little holes in the Mentos were necessary to the reaction and glossy, coated Mentos did not cause the reaction because of it
@@shivanshsikka Ol' Ralph Mujerrison used to say that shit all the time. About the Japanese though. He was at Pearl Harbor. In 1965 though, he just learned about the attacks and got angry about it.
Mentos are very rough at a microscopic level. They allow for a lot of "nucleation points" or spots for bubbles to form. Its why youll get more fizz pouring soda into a rough plastic cup than a smooth glass one
I love you and your content, and I've said it multiple times, your videos actually help me to study better, and your experiments are real life evidences of what I learn every day. 🌺🌹❤️
He's saying that if you managed to drink coke while keeping it carbonated your stomach would inflate like a balloon regardless. Eating mentos would just make the process faster.
@@lumipakkanen3510 yeah and if you wait until all the co2 is released from the drink(*until it's equivalent to the atmospheric pressure) and then chug it down + swallow a mentos you'll be safe.
Bro I literally shake a Dr Pepper, then froze it, open it, and it literally just blew to my roof and fell, no damage was made because the cola was frozen but holy crap, It’s like a gun, it was loud too, it was literally a gun bro
I see now, I finally get why it doesn’t work in a glass or cups or jars with a wide mouth. Because it releases all at once is why it overflows in the bottle.
Well technically that's the same way gunpowder works if you put loose gunpowder and set it on fire it will give you a gout of flame but it won't explode it's only once you contain it and release all that pressure at once that it actually well explodes. It's how fast the pressure is released. Same with pressure canners. If you rupture the container or have a weak seal it releases all of that pressure at once and becomes explosive
Reminds of a video I saw years ago where these guys put mentos into a glass coke bottle and were throwing it into the water to watch it explode or something One held it a bit to long and it blew up in his hand causing the glass shards to cut up his hand
