How come the soda and pop rocks trick hasn't made it into inflation stories or pics? I'm always hearing people talk about it on inflation sites, yet I haven't seen any stories or pics using that technique.

Or use that fact to have some over cocky girl explode in an interesting way.

there is a video on youtube of a girl who drinks both pepsi and mentos (similar myth) to prove it doesn't work and then she explodes, but alas no inflation and the special effects are a bit basic.

Diet coke and mentoes is not a myth. I've tried it (in a bottle!) and it really does produce a spectacular fountain of froth which shoots easily ten feet in the air. I also wrote a story a while back about someone who was forced to swallow a mythical liquid with similar properties, and i've been considering changing it to coke and mentoes and posting it here. Anyone interested?

No, Mentos are indeed a different story.

Ya. We had this in another forum here. It's the same as chalk with carbonaton, the carbonation doing as physical reaction with all the cracks and pocketsi n the mentos. But yea i saw that mythbuster episode...it takes alot to hurt our stomachs.

I remember the classic primary school experiment of mixing vinegar with baking soda (acid + alkali = carbon dioxide if anyone's even remotely interested)

Urgh... I just remembered an old request I was doing based on it >_<
