Mentos in Diet Coke Explodes

Mentos in Diet Coke Explodes - An NPR investigation with video and a scientific explanation for this strangeness. If you’ll excuse me, I’ve got an experiment to do now.

Alex, I propose that we test this experiment. I somewhat doubt the explanation given in the video, which cites the high surface area as the reason for the explosion. My instincts just tell me that it has to be some sort of chemical reaction causing this. We must get to the bottom of this monumental mentos mystery.

I think someone needs to drink a liter of diet coke, then swallow a couple mentos whole just to see what would happen. The results could be enlightening.
