Do mentos and diet coke explosions really work?
968784
Yes,\n\n But it doesn't really explode, its more like when you shake up a bottle of soda but in a column.\n\n The more mentos, the more impressive and you have to be sure that there's a lot of carbonation.\n\n Another fun thing that you can do (that deals with the same thing) is put some mentos in your mouth, take a swig or coke and try to keep you mouth closed- lots of fun! (but be sure to open your mouth before it goes out your nose because that really hurts...)

It does work but it takes a lot of willpower.  I went on it after having my third child and lost about 50 lbs in 45 days. It did change how food tastes and what I eat now.  Basically it is to cleanse the body and then you go straight to eating foods good for you. Changes the way things taste so you don't head straight for junk food.  However, as with anything...to keep it off is to be active and eat small meals all day long. I have kept the weight off for 3 years now. Keyword:  Willpower:)

This question comes up all the time on here. No they do not work. If you read small print they only claim to aid weight loss. You still have to exercise and eat healthy which works on its own. People must be made to understand, fat takes time to build up and time to lose. Its hard work but that is the penalty for overeating and eating Junk. Adverts are always Glossed up, dont be taken in.\nPlenty of water to wash out your toxins, plenty of healthy\nfood, no salt, no sugar, no fat, no so called Diet Plans and lots of exercise to Burn off your Fat Store. Think about  the time it took to gain the weight, its always quicker to lose it. Most important: Be honest with yourself about your eating habits, some people, and they know who they are, always cheat or give up to easily. Nobody ever said that losing weight is easy. Its not, you have to work at it.                 Good Luck

Now thats a weird experiment. Firstly, most of the ingredients in Coke are Inert. But however, since it is carbonated, and has mild levels of disinfecting chemicals, it has a slightly acidic nature. Now when you drop nail filings (which are mostly calcium compunds) there is a chance that they react with the acidic solution. But the least that can happen is a soft neutralisation process and nothing else. So there is no chance that you will fall in coma when you drink such a mixture.

The following really fun and interesting demonstration that is easy to set up:\n-This experiment should be performed outside as it creates quite a mess.  But it's worth it!\n-You will need  roll of Mentos brand mints, and a bottle of soda pop.\n-Roll a piece of paper into a tube, and put the Mentos in it (unless you have a flask/large test tube that the mints will fit in.  Trying to drop the mints in one by one will not work, the whole roll needs to go in nearly at once.\n-Open the soda bottle, line up your roll of paper with the mouth of the bottle, and drop in all of the mints.\n-You'll get a large eruption of soda!  I would suggest the person who drops the mints wear a poncho, or some type of protection against the fountain of soda that will ensue.\nThis website has an explanation of why the reaction occurs the way it does:\nhttp://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/00000109\nIf you are going for something flashier (but much much more dangerous) my chemistry professor used to do the thermite reaction, that was always popular.\nHope this is helpful!  :-)

I have tried a lot of "fat burners" from my experience (I lost more than 70lbs). I can tell you that most of those products are just marketing hype.\n\nSome of them may be efficient and but when my personal training clients asked me about "fat burners" I tell them that before you buy anything to take a look at Will Brink's Diet Supplements Revealed . \n\nActually right now, They are giving away free extracts from the e-book so you can see inside at exactly what products is being reviewed. He'll tell you what really works and what is just *marketing hype*\n\nJust go here \nhttp://snipurl.com/nwtc\n\nThey will send you the extract's immediately.\n\nhttp://www.charlesblain.com

Tons of information is available from Dave Palumbo's magazine 'Rx Muscle'.\n\nBut trust me.  They work, they work quick, and they work GREAT.

The sugar in the mentos reacts with the carbonate in the coke causing gasses to form and pressure to increase inside the bottle, when this pressure is released the gasses will shoot out causing it to "rocket".

I saw the other day you could mix Mentos and Soda with explosive results.  Jobwise, you could look at food manufacturing plants.  They always need people to test the viscocity of twinkies or the acidity of Coke.

I'll give you a very simple answer to your question...NO.\n\nThey don't work and the research done on such supplements as you suggest is useless, unscientific and unsupported by unbiased scientists.  Save your money as these supplements do next to nothing to enhance your overall training.  Even the best natural supplements have been shown to provide very little benefit to a recreational fitness enthusiast.  \n\nIf you're going to spend money on something, creatine (depending on your goals) should probably first on your list since it's the only product that has been proven to work across the board.  There is also some merit in the claims of some Metabolic enhancing products but do your research to find out which one's work best.  Hotrox works very well for me after trial and error.  Besides that, get yourself the right multi-vitamins, whey, glutamine and omega 3 fatty acids.  Almost everything else I've seen out there in the last 20 years has been hogwash.

Diet pills do work, although not forever.  You see, diet pills are like any other drug your body builds resistance to them and their effectiveness wears off when you take them for a while.  \n\nThey do work short term but there are better ways to boost your metabolism and lose the weight.\n\nThere are several ways to boost your metabolism but lets look at the factors that drive your metabolism first.  \n\n1. Genetics - you have very little control, but you are not a prisoner of your genes.  \n\n2. Lean Muscle Mass - this one throws most people off because women think, oh no I dont want muscles and men think I guess I have to look like a body builder.  Lean muscle mass is simply your weight minus the weight of your organs, bones, fluids and fat.  You increase lean muscle mass primarily through eating properly, resistance exercise, and a lifestyle that doesnt promote catabolizing activites (smoking, heavy drinking and drug use)\n\n3. Frequency of meals - the more meals the more the metabolic processes take place in your body and the faster your metabolism.\n\n4. Water Intake - dehydration is a major drag on metabolism.\nMost people are dehydrated and they dont know it.\n\n5. Sleep - getting enough rest allows the body to function at a higher metabolic level.\n\nYou will learn more than you ever knew about metabolism from my source .

well basically its just a chemical reaction.\n\nSince Soda is basically just made up of sugur,flavoring, water and preservatives. Since Mentos is a heavy peice of candy it sinks to the bottom of the coke bottle which making it easier for more bubbles to be formed from the bottom up. Each Mentos candy has thousands of tiny pits all over the surface. These tiny pits are called nucleation sites - perfect places for carbon dioxide bubbles to form. So thats what causes the eruption and boom it explode.

Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is a scam.\n\nNasal deliver is faster that is why coke users sniff it. Nasal is not with out side effects though.\nPills tend to last longer because they take longer to digest.

I tried it, didn't find that it worked one bit.  I ended up returning it for a refund.  Even though it tasted great, it made me sick to my stomach, and I didn't lose any weight at all.  In my opinion it's a scam.

Crack Cocaine is better yet (for losing weight that is)
