Search youtube using Mentos and Coke!. They have a couple of men that dropped mentos in containers of coke!. They were trying to set a record on how many containers they could get to spew all at once!. Watch that and see if you want to combine the two in your stomach!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I believe its diet coke or rootbeer!. I don't believe it would have the same chemical effect in your stomach do to the enzymes and acids, but if it did you would just do some serious burping or throwing up!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I imagine that this is some sort of urban legend !.I would imagine the woest thing that would happen is you'd get a nasty taste in your mouth from the mentos ( minty) mixed with the sweet taste of coke!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I'm not sure if it would kill you but i wouldn't try it!. yes it is any coke!. i would go to Discovery channel!.com i remember the mythbusters did something on this but i cant really remember haha

Myth Busters tested this - and it does create a significant reaction!. Whether or not it would kill you is debatable - you would probably just throw up!.

if you are eating MINt mentos and any diet soda you could projectile vomit!. It's some coating on the mentos that causes diet soda to react that way!.!.

I've never heard of anyone dying from it!.!.!.!.my brothers do that stuff for funWww@FoodAQ@Com

nope!. you wont feel anything!. chewing the mentos makes the whole thing not work, and so does pouring the coke!. so if you could directally inject your stomach with diet coke and mentos, you'l be fineWww@FoodAQ@Com
