Is this what happens in your stomach when you eat mentos and drink coke?

If so, count me out.

Nope, they did it on Mythbusters - pouring the soda down your throat releases too much of the carbonation, so you don't get the reaction. They only were able to make their stomach (a pig stomach, used for the experiment) burst by using compressed air to "inflate" it.

I've never seen this done before.

Welcome to 2004!

I discovered that if you pour one of these into a can of Diet Coke with Splenda, it will fizz and foam all over the place. It only works if the can is full or close to full though, if you drink part of it and then do it, it doesn't work.

I poured one into a full can as a taste experiment at work, then walked away to get my lunch out of the refrigerator. That was how I discovered it.

""Woodhead compensated for the 1200fps' paltry 336x96 frame size by stitching four different Mentos tests together""

Pour a packet of sweet-n-low into a can of diet soda for a fizz overflow. Afterwards, try drinking it for an extra-tasty zero calorie treat.

The same thing that happens when you eat Taco Bell.

Next, try microwaving a lot of water until it's past 212°F without boiling, then add sugar.
Then enjoy your complimentary trip to the emergency room in an ambulance, and the lovely second degree burns.

Just be sure to have the high-speed camera going so that we can all see not only the steam flash, but also your reaction to the scalding water and steam. It amuses me to see how slow human reaction time really is.

If you have a microwave without a turntable (or remove the platter) and heat on HIGH; water can be superheated to the point where it will literally explode everywhere if there is the slightest vibration!

Welcome to 1984, except replace Mentos with Pop Rocks.

Did they address that youtube vid of the kid who eats all the mentos then chugs a 2 liter coke and his ass literally exploded?

Stardust > poprocks. Both were kind of disgusting though. Might as well put calcium carbide on your tongue and let your mouth fill with acetylene then exhale on a Bunsen burner! :laugh:

I think this has to be distilled water. Tap water won't work.

As long as it remains calm so no bubbles form it can become superheated.
