explosion will be produced if the experiment is done using diet coke! But why? This is because coke has the greatest amount of acids and bubbles with out any reaction happening. This means when something such as mentos is added, the amount of bubbles (the reaction people look for when doing this experiment) will be greater than others. After researching the reactions of other soft drinks as well, I have found that carbonated drinks like diet Sprite and diet Dr.Pepper work better than most as well as the diet coke. The amount of acids in the drink or whatever you drop it into, matters a great deal to the experiment. It matters for the results because those acids and carbon dioxide already in the soft drink are what get
