Answers:
Yes, didnt you watch myth busters??? They did a whole show on that and it really worked. With some modifications they got it to spew up over 30 feet.

wow- i kind of want to go buy some and try it... never heard of it.

Just try it an see my baby.......but you had better do it outside ,or have plenty of towels and cleaner to polish up with!!LOL!!

yeah i tried it. its not that great though. it lasted for like a secound or two and just shoots in the air about 2 or 3 feet.
its diet coke btw.

Yes.
It Splodes

happened on mythbusters, and my friend did it for a science fair project. it got up pretty high!

it doesn't explode like a huge thing but it goes all over the place try it its fun

If you're fast enough to get the cap on before the drink spews out, pretty much.

Not necessarily... the rapid release of carbon dioxide can become explosive, but only if you confine its volume. If you dump Mentos into a diet coke bottle and quickly seal the cap it will explode and make a huge sticky mess, and perhaps blow one of your fingers off in the process, so remember if you decide to experiment, use some common sense and safety glasses would be a good idea too. Imagine what it would be like to have plastic shrapnel fly into your eye at the speed of sound.

go to youtube.com or jibjab.com and search mentos, there are some example videos

Yes: open cap on diet coke, add mentos to a UN shaken bottle of coke, place cap back on, not screwed on and it will explode because the acid in the mento reacts with the acid in the coke with is carbon dioxide. Be careful it could hurt if it hits you

yes, they do, but if you really want to to work, use diet coke and mint mentos.

Yes. My little sister's friend did that experiment where they put the mento in the coke bottle and took pictures of the explosion, and copied them, and my sister brought one home and i saw the picture. i really does explode!

YUP, AND IF YOU ADD POP ROCKS AND DRINK IT YOUR HEAD WILL BLOW UP!
