Diet Coke first, then Mentos.

Expansion! However, it doesn't happen to a can of beer because of the alcohol content and it acts much slower in a sugary product such as coke or pepsi.  Diet drinks on the hand.......boom!

Yes, my son has done it numerous times.  He has discovered that you get better results with diet coke instead of diet pepsi.  I think there is more carbonation in the diet coke.  However, it does not explode, it creates a geyser that shoots anywhere from 3 to 20 feet into the air.

Here's a start--\n\nThe bones mostly affected by sodas are your teeth.  The acids eat away enamel and then deteriorate your chompers.  \n\nYou need a real tooth.  Take photos of the tooth.  Then drop it in a glass of Coke.  Periodically take photos of how much the tooth "magically disappears."  Voila!  You've just shown how bad soda is for you.

I wouldn't say it destroys nutrients. But it does kind of make them run through your system instead of getting properly absorbed for use.\n\nNow, Pepsi is fine as an occasional thing. It doesn't really become a problem unless it's a regular drink instead of something else. In fact, I've used Coke Classic a number of times to settle an uneasy stomach.\n\nMake it a treat like you do other sweets, and you should be fine.

Yes, soda strips your body of nutrients and this can cause many health problems.\nhttp://www.newstarget.com/004416.html

Too funny this question is up here right now.  My co-workers and I literally just walked in from doing this.  We picked up 6 2-liters and 6 20oz along with 2 2-liters of generic diet cola and a slew of Mentos.\n\nOur results:\n3 Mentos + 1 20oz Diet Coke = 5-6 feet\n- Emptied more than 3/4 of the bottle\n8 Mentos + 1 2-liter Diet Coke = 15-20 feet\n- Emptied 2/3 of the bottle\n8 Mentos + 1 2-liter generic Diet Cola = 6-8 feet\n- Emptied 1/2 of the bottle\n\nThere were too many people around to try today, but next week we will be attempting to match those fellows who managed to turn the 2 liters into rockets with Mentos!!!!!!\n\nAwesome, fun, harmless and yes I was getting paid for doing it today!!!!

diet sodas have really really bad compounds in them like aspartame which can cause cancer and stuff like that. diet soda is diet cuz of its artificial sweeteners, which are much worse than consuming sugar. if you eat too much artificial sweeteners, they are really bad for you

I just watched them do an experiment on the news the other night.  They took a tube of mentos and held them over a bottle of Coke with a piece of paper between the tube and bottle.  They then pulled the paper away and the coke shot twenty feet in the air.  Looked like a lot of fun, but the reporter got soaked with Coke, so be aware of that.\n\nIt has to do with the sugar content of the mentos (or in your case the cotton candy) then when it comes in contact with the carbonic acid of coke causes a catalyst effect.  Although Coke already has a lot of sugar in it, it hasn't reached the point to simply make the Coke lose all its carbonation at once.

Have you ever seen a Mentos put into a soda before?  If not, the result is a mass explosion of soda.  The reason is because of a bad chemical reaction, not to mention that your tongue is divided into different parts for different tastes and while the taste of the mint is on its part and the soda blends with it, they attempt to overpower each other and result in "nastiness"

Not knowing what mentos are, I can't give you a full answer.  However soda pop has a lot of dissolved CO2, which I imagine is forced out of solution.  So you'll have one or both of the two options\n\n1 the mentos act as a surface catalyst for the CO2 to adhere to and congregate into gas bubbles\n\n2 something in the mentos dissolves into the soda pop forcing the "precipitation" of CO2 Gas
