Alert! Alert! Drinking Coca Cola while eating Mentos can kill you!!! This is what I received in my mailbox :
If that can kill you... so can IGNORANCE! Seriously, I've chewed Mentos while taking swigs of Coke in the past (I didn't even know about this phenomenon!) and I am well and alive today. Heck, I didn't even bubble in my mouth when I did it! This is the official response from the Coca Cola Company :
Well, nothing happened, I'm still chewing but no volcano formed in my mouth! Oh, wait, somethin' is goin' on....buuuuurp! Gosh, that was close! Seriously I saw this while ago when somebody posted a few pictures from a car accident with a policeman who was washing the blood from the street with cola. A few pictures later the street was clean and good as new
Hahaha while science of it is true, Diet Coke and Mentos eruption - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The story is actually urban legend.... snopes.com: Mentos and Coke Death
ROTFL!! That is funny! There's a similar urban legend about how you cannot drink any soft drink after munching Krispies... or how you cannot drink beer while eating durian. Same shit, different names.
Hmm... what if you don't chew the mentos, just drop it in your mouth and pour coke into your mouth? Hmm... and close your mouth after that before it starts shooting, close until damn tight.
LOL!!! Well, I guess that depends on how fast you chug your Coca Cola after putting Mentos into your mouth. If you coat it with saliva, I believe that would destroy the porous surface of the Mentos sweet and prevent CO2 bubbles from forming on it. I guess if you just drop it onto your tongue and quickly pour in Coke, you will get a massive reaction. But I seriously doubt you will explode. At the very most, you will create a massive amount of foam in your mouth!
