How to Make a Diet Coke and Mentos Eruption

When mixed together, Diet Coke and Mentos candy make a fabulous eruption. This is a good trick to do at a kids birthday party or as a school science experiment. Make sure you perform this trick outside, however. It will make a big mess.

Instructions

1

Open the Diet Coke bottle and set it somewhere on flat ground.

2

Put at least four Mentos in a tube that will allow you to drop all of them in the soda at once. Set up the tube on top of the Diet Coke bottle.

3

Release the Mentos into the Diet Coke and take a step back quickly. You will see the Diet Coke shoot up into the air.
