During one of our weekly lunches with the family, my sister mentioned an email she got which described the death of an unnamed boy by ingesting Coke and Mentos and subsequently expelling the mixture through both orifices. I’m not sure about the validity of this story, and Snopes seem to agree with me; but here’s a couple of videos I found which would give anybody pause before doing what the boy in the email did:
And:
Thank goodness I mix Mentos with REGULAR Coke. Phew!
Are you thinking what I’m thinking? COKE BOMB’s AWAY!
Exactly. We are so doing this in the next TMB party.
Elo, thers a show on Discovery channel called mythbusters that did that experiment.
If you guys are worried by dying by the means of eating mentos with diet coke, that wont happen unlike what it says in that boy who died email.
The worst possible thing could happen would be choking from eating the mentos whole(ahehehe…ouch) or a stomach ache from too much diet coke.
I wont go through all the trouble giving a load of scientific explanation.
Its just all about the carbonation, and unlike bottles(which are used in the experiment videos)the coke will lose it all one it reaches the stomach and meets with mr. mentos.
so, no fuss if u ate mentos with coke, but of course with common sense i wouldnt recommend try out a whole liter of coke and a pack of mentos just to “check it out”
sa totoo lang nung una ko itong nalaman, medyu natakot rin aku…kaya ayun! nag research ang gaga!
ahehehehe
mwahahahhahahaahaa.
