Imagine his local cashier watching him going into his local store to buy random items for his experiments everyday.

"The Next Level Mentos-Coke Experiment"

Forgot the point: This is due to the micro-roughness of the surface of the Mentos, providing them a greater surface area for the bubbles to form on.

Everyone has been doing it with regular coke instead of diet coke for so long, that nobody even says anything anymore. We've forgotten as a society how it's supposed to be done...

It's just the extreme amount of nucleation sites in the Mentos. In theory any material with similar properties would cause the effect. Would be interesting to see if you could get activated charcoal to work, however the issue would be getting it to sink to the bottom.

Impressed daily. And you appear to be having such a great time no matter the experiment.Thank you for joy and education during all of these unpredictable world events.Great to be distracted by knowledge! Thanks again for all of the times that no one said anything... I hope that they will in the future... Keep it up and I'll keep watching. I've shared your videos with everyone I know.

Dislikes are from people who prefer pepsi over coke

This is truly useful, especially for those who are studying Chemical.

Thank you for not including a history on how mentos was made or smth

I remember the Mythbusters noted the little holes in the Mentos were necessary to the reaction and glossy, coated Mentos did not cause the reaction because of it

I haven't seen cola bottles with this shape before

Well I’d really hope mentos weren’t the candy that broke the laws of physics

The diet coke is more reactive! I think it has to do with an additional reaction between aspartame and the mentos.

Me when I realize that humanity lied to me: *"I'll not Forgive the **-Japanese-** Humanity!"*

The increased speed of the reaction can make a big difference. E.g. Rusting and burning is the same reaction: Oxidation, just in different speed.

These are honestly some of the most intriguing and cool shorts on YT

Off topic: I've never noticed how blue his eyes were. They are mesmerizing.

I love you and your content, and I've said it multiple times, your videos actually help me to study better, and your experiments are real life evidences of what I learn every day. 🌺🌹❤️

I just started learning about catalysts I had my suspicions about this reaction but dam I never knew it was a catalyst.

"going to put a Mentos into this balloon now" a Mento.

I forgot that the law of conservation of mass/energy was a thing.

I believe the Mythbusters proved that you need to use Diet Coke for the big reaction, not regular Coke.

That is one weird shaped coke bottle

The term "A mentos" is tingling my brain

So if i drink coke, and then swallow some mentos immediately. You’re saying my stomach would inflate like a balloon?

I swear everyone had this as their grade school science experiment

The oil and coke tank is the most American thing ever

Uncapping coke under oil was the coolest part of the video.

Really feels good to understand science behind ☺️ ..thnks 👍 and keep up the good work

I just realized how close your eyes are to each other.

OMG! I can't get bored of this amazing channel. Keep up the good work buddy!

FINALY someone explained this!! THANKS

Talk about an excellent explanation. Haha! I knew this already but to verbalize it is where the art is. Cheers guys!

Rip to first person who lost their coke after putting a Mentos in it

I believe you cannot call it a catalyst. A catalyst interacts with your reagents. It does not REACT with the reagents.

I really need a full length video with shots of this at different speeds etc!

*I can till this guy was the #1 in science school project*

Finally somebody demystified this Mentos conundrum

“This sand doesn’t get wet” James: And I took that personally

I absolutely love your shorts!!

Mans has taught me a lot honestly❤

I don’t know why. But I think it’s pretty cute when he gets excited about things that he’s showing us.

drug addicts that were expecting *coke* : 😔*sigh guess I’ll just go

Fun fact: this is the only channel that uses the youtube shorts the right way

Great experiment and great explanation 👍 Now I'll try with M&M

Great explanation!

My whole life was a lack of ActionLabShorts

Man here does more to explain all of this real world and really curious stuff than most of our teachers every do/did. Thank you!

It's called nucleation, the rough bumpy surface gives a gripping site for the co2 to be released

“Okay so I’m going to put a mentos in this balloon now.”

this is the first virtual collab (afaik) between ActionLab and GramaSandy, thx

I gotta say pouring it under the oil was the coolest part. Love this channel

You will never bait me to buy Skyrim again

Man I live your experiments! Bravo!!

Awesome description man, thanx. I've always wondered if pressure changed at all. 👍

I swear his eyes are getting closer and closer together every video

And coincidentally,the ad that shows up for me is the coke ad

I couldn’t really tell how much faster it was because you sped them both up haha

Im amazed with every video of yours that I watch

I love your vids, please keep up the great work!

I see now, I finally get why it doesn’t work in a glass or cups or jars with a wide mouth. Because it releases all at once is why it overflows in the bottle.

DNF shippers seeing the balloon colors: 👀

I have never seen coke bottles in that shape before

The thumbnail look like a Gordon Ramsay holding a coke 😂

Bro I literally shake a Dr Pepper, then froze it, open it, and it literally just blew to my roof and fell, no damage was made because the cola was frozen but holy crap, It’s like a gun, it was loud too, it was literally a gun bro

It seriously can't be only me who loves his voice and his eyes too 🥺❤️

Thank you. I really enjoy your work. Keep it up! Please🤓👍

I read the title as "What really happens when you do coke"

I love how it looks when you pour coke in an oil.

"But watch what happens if I put it in my vacuum chamber"

Those cola bottles are *S W O L E* af

💙💚

Yooo I had one coke left in the fridge and this man low key just alerted me

wait what are those short stubby bottles of coke it looks adorable, i’ve never seen it where i live

The balloon experiment was clever

Why do i have the feeling hes going to try to sell me skyrim.

Just love your videos buck!

The start startled me so hard. I thought it was some kind of worm.

U cant find mint mentos almost anywhere in Finland but we have an exotic grocery store next to us so i can do that

Looks like I found the perfect party pooper

… how did KZfaq know I just bought a CokaCola

Fun fact; if you chew the mentos in halv and THEN put it in the Coke, it works even better

What kind of oil? **pours gasoline into a fishtank**

Hi I love your vids and you taught me a lot!

Ohhhh Step-scientist what are you doing?

I’m more impressed by the coke pouring into the oil

These bottles look so cool

I wanted to see how much volume the carbonation took up from the coke bottle.

For a second I though you somehow got a video of my mother in law’s squirrel stew

HAHAHAHAHAHA I READ THE TITLE AS "DOES MENTOES REALLY DO COKE?" HAHAHAHAHAHA

Can those balloons filled with co2 be used as fire extinguisher?

Can you please reply its my birthday.love your vids.

Watch out for the army, that's a lot of oil

but if it releases co2 faster, which means the momentum of the gas particles increase and so does force and hence it increases pressure

Those are some thicc Cokes lmao

The rough surface of the mentos causes the carbonation in the soda to go crazy.

Well technically that's the same way gunpowder works if you put loose gunpowder and set it on fire it will give you a gout of flame but it won't explode it's only once you contain it and release all that pressure at once that it actually well explodes. It's how fast the pressure is released. Same with pressure canners. If you rupture the container or have a weak seal it releases all of that pressure at once and becomes explosive

So you're telling me that I could've exploded all of those bottles without the mentos?

Ohhh so the mentos is like a catalyst

Love dis guy!
