Coke & Mentos Belly inflation, help?

Hey Guys,

im new here and i wanna try to inflate my belly with the "Mentos & Coke" trick. I already tried it with 1 pack mentos and 1 bottle Coke but the once thing i had after was light pain....

Yeah i gotta say it felt a little bit inflated but it really didnt look like "inflated". So i really got little problems, i watched videos from it and they have eaten the mentos instant. I mean qhat the hell if i gonna try it instant i'd get no air and...i hope u know what i mean, im sorry im foreign and not a native English guy. The mentos is to big to .... it instant and (in my opinion, sure some people can do that...) im not very big or fat im kinda thin. Another reason to try it out. I think. So anyway hows the best way to do the Mentos n' coke trick? It looked like they have eaten it at first and then took the coke but may they just hold the mentos in their mouth and take the cola and .... quickly. The dots mean the word to get it through the throath sorry im to lazy to translate it.

I hope you could kinda understand me and so i hope you can help me or gimme tips.

Greetings,

There used to be an awesome picture of AlwaysExpanded on DA called "Coke and Menthos". ^_^

In the real world the release of solute CO2 brings up the fountain of coke just because it's explosively fast, not because it's a lot of it. Our bodies are flexible, and are quite used to lightning-fast movements so it's not a surprise you didn't feel much.

There are several awesome threads here for those brave ones who, like you, do it for real.

Just remember that most of inflationary fantasies have the tag "never do it to yourself". Please keep on a safe side.

Your English is fine but hey - they are online translators ^_^ so use any language you like, мой друг :)

There's a few issues using coke and mentos.

1) Chugging cola - You're going to lose a lot of the dissolved CO2 on the way down your oesophagus.

2) Mentos - You'll have to chew them up, and that loses the little sites on which the CO2 binds and comes out of solution.

How the coke and mentos trick works is that the mentos are covered in tiny pits, these act as sites for the CO2 to bind and come out of solution, this coming out of solution causes bubbles to form rapidly and whoosh, all the CO2 comes out at once. For it to work the cola has to be in a smooth container without many sites for the CO2 to bind to.

You can do the same trick with cola and icing sugar, or lemonade and regular table sugar, or anything else with CO2 dissoved in it and some sort of powder. The particles of powder act as sites. Mentos aren't magical inflation pills. ;)

If you want to look inflated properly, do it safely and use an inflatable suit or stuff a beachball down a large t-shirt and pretend you're blowing up, it's safer by far.
