A soda geyser is a physical reaction between a carbonated beverage, usually Diet Coke, and Mentos mints that causes the beverage to be expelled from its container. The candies catalyze the release of gas from the beverage, which creates an eruption that pushes most of the liquid up and out of the bottle.
EepyBird's video generated a 5-10% spike in 2 litre Diet Coke sales and a 20% spike in U.S. Mentos sales, which was the biggest sales increase in company history. [9] Maybe more significantly, as of November 2009, Mentos sales were still 15% above what they had been prior to the launch of EepyBird's video. [25]
The current slogan of Mentos is "Stay Fresh", [2] while the line previously used extensively in the 1980s and 1990s was "The Freshmaker". Some Mentos packages describe the mints as "chewy dragées". The typical Mentos roll is approximately 2 cm (0.79 in) in diameter and weighs 38 grams (1.3 oz). "Mentos" is the singular form. [3]
The Diet Coke and Mentos eruption experiment was first televised by Spangler in 2002 and became popular on the Internet in 2005. [5] More than a thousand videos appeared online replicating the experiment. [5] Spangler was nominated for the Time 100 in 2007 because of the experiment. [4]
WTF is with these mentos/diet coke videos on the net. someone please do a writeup. 24.13.86.24 04:24, 15 June 2006 (UTC) The reaction occurs with any carbonated beverage, not just Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi. I'm replacing the specific product mentions with generics. lesmana 06:39, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
The image is for the DIET COKE and mentos phenomenon's article, it should feature diet coke. --froth t 20:20, 30 August 2007 (UTC) Well it's certainly doable with some generic diet cola instead of diet coke, but this is more of an issue on the name of the article than the picture. -- antilived T | C | G 09:52, 31 August 2007 (UTC) [ reply ]
Paranitroaniline can be used instead of sugar, if the experiment is allowed to proceed under an obligatory fumehood. [4] With this method the reaction phase prior to the black snake's appearance is longer, but once complete, the black snake itself rises from the container very rapidly. [5]
