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.
Mentos are available in several flavors including mint, mixed fruit, cola, bubble gum, and in an assortment of orange, strawberry, and lemon. Mentos first appeared as a liquorice-flavored sweet which can still be purchased in the Netherlands as "Drop Mentos". New flavors were initially test-marketed in the Netherlands and throughout Europe ...
The Diet Coke and Mentos eruption offers another example. The surface of Mentos candy provides nucleation sites for the formation of carbon-dioxide bubbles from carbonated soda. Both the bubble chamber and the cloud chamber rely on nucleation, of bubbles and droplets, respectively.
Unfortunately, all of the mentos packets that I could get my hands on were glazed in some way, and whilst there was a reaction, it was not of the usual violence level, probably due to reduced surface area.

Soda is mostly water, which means that the H2O you start with makes a major difference (for better or for worse). Different regions have different water sources and pipes that can all impact the ...
This process is generally represented by the following reaction, where a pressurized dilute solution of carbonic acid in water releases gaseous carbon dioxide at decompression: H 2 CO 3 → H 2 O + CO 2 ↑. In simple terms, it is the result of the chemical reaction occurring in the liquid which produces a gaseous product. [3]

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) I added a parenthetical note to Lesmana's edit. Most of the experiements are indeed condcuted with diet coke or pepsi.
