And that's how you get ants.

I like how you did this with a bunch of different drinks instead of just diet coke, that was a great idea.

Cherry coke seems like the most reactive imo

*at restaurant* Me: can I have a Coke? Waiter: Is Pepsi okay? Me:iS pEpSi OkAy?!?!?!

She fumbled one Mentos putting it in the coke zero. You can see it during the slo-mo shot near the end. Yet it still was one of the most reactive with only 4 mentos.

I didn't come for science I just game for the explosion

the next day she woke up to see an army of ant's on her table 😂😂💀🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜

That's a waste of some good Dr. Pepper there.

Your experiment is flawed and your data is inconclusive. First- you didnt measure the height of the fountain of fluid to gauge which one is the most reactive. The height would tell us which fountain had more force pushing the fluid out of the bottle. Second- not all of the bottles were the same size, changing the force. The force will increase pressure because of the smaller surface area inside. Third- not all of the bottles had the same volume of fluid. Yea you poured equal amount out of the bottle but the capacity of the bottle is not all the same. Fourth- on the Coke Zero you only placed 4 Mentos in the bottle. You dropped one when putting them in. Fifth- you said Mountain Dew was the least reactive of all the sodas, yet we can clearly see orange Crush was the least reactive. We know this because the Crush and Mountain Dew were the same sized bottles. Sixth- the bottles are of different shape. This will affect the way the soda is forced out of the bottle. Changing the restriction on the bottles will affect fluid flow. You sound all scientific and sound like you know what you are doing, but there are way too many variables here. No real scientist could accept this data as valid or conclusive. FAIL.

I actually thought the cherry coke had the greatest reaction.

there are a lot of variable to this 1: There is a different amount of liquid in each bottle 2: You dropped 4 Mentos in Coke Zero 3: The results depend on how old each of the pops are 4: Also where they were madr

mountain dew weak af

It's not the force of reaction knocked down the full cup soda, it was the gravity,

Orange soda was the least reactive not mountain dew

It’s not orange soda it’s Fanta EMELICKA EXPLANE

Diet Coke and Cherry are the definite winners lol

I'm a high school math and science teacher, with a daughter named, coincidentally, Eva. ! Seeing another girl a little older than her taking an active interest in research and science is really encouraging "my" Eva. :-) And from the science teacher viewpoint, I particularly appreciated how you used a control, stated your research question, and cited sources. Thank you so much for posting this!!!

She probably had ants for months and months after she did this..

Cool experiment👍🏻. I think maybe the bottle shape had something to do with the force of the explosion as well. The coke bottles are more pointy, bullet shaped causing a more strong steam lined geyser.😬

On coke zero she dropped a mento

I'm not flaming or anything. Just making a neutral statement that nobody is going to get upset about. I ate a bagel today.

Every 60 seconds in africa.... 1 minute goes by

What if you... dropped a whole packet of mentos in Coke Zero?

This was really fun to watch. I know it's from 6 years ago, but there's no need to apologize. You did just fine on a *school extra credit project.* Anyone who thought otherwise can kick rocks.

well, having all the bottles opened while one is gushing out contaminates the other bottle and jeoperdises the whole experiment. also the bottles should be full when doing this to get the best reaction.

I'm not trying to sound rude but, you dropped one of the mentos at coke zero

diet coke is legend

That would've been a really fun school project! It's actually really interesting to see which ones reacted. I assumed the Dr. Pepper would react the most because it seems to have the carbonation. I was quite wrong... and this is probly why I didn't do fantastic in science class lol this was a great idea to do! I hope you got good extra credit for it! :)

This is what happened.. The mentos beat up the soda and the soda ran out of the bottle.

Cherry coke had me leaning away from the screen!😂😂😂

What would happen if I put coke in my mouth and put a mentos in my mouth

It's not called orange soda it's called orange fanta

Very interesting. I wish back in the day we had projects like this in school. Would have made learning much more fun. Science is about learning. Ignore the people who make irrelevant comments about mistakes, you took the time to acknowledge them. You also did this in your spare time as well. I really enjoyed the new scientist article (thank you for including it), including the section discussing the crushed mentos which was something I was going to ask about. Well done.

Why do you act so scared when it explodes?

What about sprite

Great Job DIY... flaws or not in the "Scientific Research" This was a pretty cool comparison of the various soda types (Saved me several bucks ...), fun and educational at the same time. Yeah maybe in a more lab like setting you could've ironed out some of the details ... but I don't think that was the point, I enjoyed it and think it is cool you took the time and effort to film and post it.

She did it so bad. Some bottles got 1 mentos, then 4 two seconds later. Some got 5 right away, some got 4 in total. How can you compare anything like that?

Shouldn't the same volume be used for each soda?

That was fun! Thank you for using so many different types. I'm doing my first science for seniors this Friday and you've inspired me to do this one with a few different types.

look at all that wasted soda, that could have gone to a orpahnage

thanks kate :)

I have a job of crushing soda cans. Its soda pressing

what if we eat and drink it?

You want ants? Because that's how you get ants

Cherry coke the most.

It's great that you framed the shot to make sure half the screen was filming the space under the table and not the actual soda explosions, great job.

I really enjoyed your lovely experiments! Well done!

this was a really fun video to watch! Haha! I love how you ignore the haters and you're staying strong:)

Why do people hate somemuch its just a project doesent matter if she's saying really smart things she shouldn't be compared like that

Thanks for helping I got more information for my science project for my science fair!!

Thanks for taking the time to do this. It may not be perfect, but still nicely done. (you'll never escape people who live to tear things down)

The inner science teacher has to ask. What was the basis for your hypothesis, and did you do any research before forming said hypothesis? Also why include Pepsi but not Diet Pepsi or other off brands?

This was fun and interesting to watch. Never thought about different kinds of soda and how Mentos effects each, so this video was cool. Who cares about it being perfect? That's life. This was still a great informative video. Great work.

1. it wasn't completely controlled and 2. that was gravity not the "force of the reaction"

Did anyone come here for the science Because I didn't

That looks like fun to do and good idea to try out a lot of different sodas. I thought dr pepper would react the largest

"Mountain Dew was the least reactive" SPOILER ALERT!!!! Fuck, I don't even have to watch the rest of the video now.

I'm making this experiment with my toddlers today,they are super exited and so am I. Thank you for taking the time to post it! Now I will only buy the 3 bottles with the most reaction instead of all of them.

Thanks for the science fair project

You didn't do the measurements right. Your insertion of the mentos wasn't the same with every bottle and they weren't filled to the same volume. You also got some cross contamination during the eruptions. DO IT AGAIN!

lol how does this have 8 million views? It's an awesome experiment, don't get me wrong, but pretty common. Anyway, great job on the experiment!

this reminds me of the elephant toothpaste. For experiments we added soda and mentos inside, then added the elephant toothpaste again. One student went in and screamed "COKE IS EVERYWHERE! FOAM IS EVERYWHERE!" Lord I have no idea if they were telling the truth

I believe Coke Zero is most reactive. You can clearly see one of the Mentos missed and fell behind the Coke Zero bottle in your test.

she didnt put 5 in each

What are YOUR favorite sodas from this video in order, worst to best taste? Mine are: 9.7•up 8.Diet coke 7. Coke zero 6. Fanta Orange 5. Mountain Dew 4. Coca Cola 3. Pepsi 2. Dr pepper 1. Coca cola cherry

Can you guys relax????? She's not a scientist. It was just for extra credit so chill out

I remember watching this when I was a kid

She miss one mentos on the diet coke. This experiment is a fail.

thanks for the video i know 7 up wasn't the highest but i pick it for my volcano cause that is one which is most easily available but anyways it was awesome

Good job with the video. The experiment was a good idea. I had this idea looked it up on Google and this video completely answered what other sodas would do. Even better that you knew and explained why the mentos reaction happened. 👍👍

Thank you for doing this! I've always suspected it wasn't just come they would react with

diet coke and coke zero were the best!

You forgot Root Beer, that’s another type of soda as well

Hi Eva, I did a similar experiment with Diet Pepsi. I ended up producing almost a 2 foot eruption from the bottle with 5 tablets of Mentos into the bottle (the other 5 bounced off and landed on the grass).

First, the soda looks like it has been used = gas comes out. Second leaving the bottle open = MORE gas to come out...

orange soda is FANTA

I never did play with mentos & soda. But I once mixed vinegar and baking soda in a glass container and quickly sealed it then stood back and BB gunned it. KaBoom! Like an M-80! God that was stupid.

I was watching this with my grandmother and she loved it. Thank you

Wow, such a cool experiment and you got extra credit at school :D

She clearly states in her description (guess nobody reads those anymore) that she knows the bottle sizes aren't the same, the mento's didn't all go in some, and that it is a very loose experiment with extremely lax controls but she wants us to remember it was just for high school extra credit. She almost begs people NOT TO GET UPSET over all of the facts that were brought up in the very first post !!! Do any of you read anything before you start typing your hateful, bitchy, and rude comments ? Read the description from now on before you start typing out your hatefulness people. wow, i think she did a great job and i hope she gets the extra credit and then some.

i liked cherry coke even though it was so high that it was out of view

I don’t know why but I laughed hardest at the pop still dripping from the trees at the end. Great experiment!👍

OMG, the reaction of both Diet Coke and Coke Zero blew my mind. 😱

So... not Coke and Mentos, but *Diet* Coke and Mentos?

You did a great job girl! U could have a career in science if you keep it up

The cup didn't get knocked over because of the force, it was because of the direction of the eruption

Mi Top 9 Version of the height of sodas when exposed to mentos 9.- Fanta 8.- Mountain Dew 7.- Dr Pepper 6.- 7up 5.- Coca-Cola 4.- Pepsi 3.- Coca-Cola Zero 2.- Diet Coke 1.- Coca-Cola Cherry

this is cool i really like your style of video making please make more expieriments

the kids in Africa could of eaten that table

I rlly needed that because we’re doing a project

thank you so much for posting this, now I know which sodas to get to show differences :)

Such a great experiment! Thnx for sharing with us! And don't listen to these trolls. They're just jealous because they don't know everything like you. Keep up the good work!

Your awesomely epic suprised you didn't get soaked.

This is the perfect idea I have a science fair project coming up

Wait to open the soda until right before you drop in the Mentos.

You need to redo this with the 2nd camera pointing up and need to have all of the soda filled to the top because it works better trust me I tried

My mom calls it orange soda

I watched this for my science class last year this vid was good

Diet coke+Mentos=You got yourself a rocket ship XD
