Mentos and Diet Coke won't kill you.

[Flamingo777]

We've all seen the videos online of the coke and mentos rockets, and Myth Busters 'proved' that if you ate the two together, your stomach would explode.

They were wrong.

I tried it today. Here's a list of what happened:

1. Buy fruit Mentos.
2. Come home.
3. Drink two cans of diet Coke.
4. Swallow 6 Mentos whole, 1 at a time, with a bit of water.
5. Wait a while.
6. Fizzy feeling inside.
7. Belly starts bloating. Gets pretty big.
8. Burps.

You see, the cola loses alot of the carbonation when you drink it, I guess. Also, the human body has many defenses to protect it from getting damaged from the inside, i.e you intestines.

ACTUALLY, MYTHBUSTERS PROVED THAT YOUR STOMACH COULDNT EXPLODE! geez post intelligently. I saw that episode. They used a pig's stomach to test it on.

you're not even funny

I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to be funny. Surely you have mistaken me. I was just trying to provide insight and personal opinion on the matter. Although I have failed to form a republic government for the USA, I feel that I have not 'failed' at life but rather gain more knowledge to.

And as for you, Spartan04, posting a 'fail' picture........

The water will also make the carbonation less.

THE ONLY THING RELATED TO A MYTH BEING BUSTED AND THIS THREAD

IS THE MYTH OF THE OP'S INTELLIGENCE BEING BUSTED.

Don't worry, I'm joking.

Hello, I am posting from Heaven to say:

This thread lies.

I've just found out the same thing happens with ice cream and soda. You know how when you make a root beer float, it gets all foamy? It's the same basic reaction that happens with Mentos, only smaller.

Y'know, even though it's been proved false...
Diet Coke + Mentos would be an epic way to kill somebody.
