It does work, actually. The mentos acts as a catalyst, accelerating the rate of decay of the carbonic acid, resulting in MASSIVE gas release. Dont' believe it? Go try it. It's not dangerous, so long as you don't put the cap back on (and the reaction accelerates at such a ridiculous rate that you've got to be superman to get it back on) - and just one mentos is enough to demonstrate it, without being too messy.

Your sarcasm meter must be broken. I claimed the video disprovess it when the video shows a girl EXPLODING from drinking it, apparently proving the myth.

Geez.

Yeah, I blew up a Pepsi bottle with Mentos.. it was pretty fun. Didn't get any shrapnel in me, thankfully.

me and my friends made a dry ice bomb in hs from 2L. It took like 5 mins for it to go off, and when it exploded it made a cloud bigger than a car. Later the police rolled by and was like, you guys can't blow up fireworks here.

When I'm president I'll make it illegal to post threads about mentos and pepsi. I'll also make it illegal to have posted mentos and pepsi threads before the law came into power.

Oh, and I'll also tax sexual intercourse, but that's another issue entirely.

and how are you planning on circumventing the constitution?

Some of you know about the neat tricks you can do with Mentos and Pepsi

I have to say though. Pepsi + CO2 is far cooler.

Just don't be an idiot and Pick up a loaded bottle

I laughed my ass off at the third video. :laugh:
