Mentos & Diet Soda

If any one has to do a science project on chemical reactions or would like to see a geyser of soda shoot 4 ft. from a bottle of Diet Coke, continue to read!

To achieve the coolest chemical reaction ever you must have...
1 two liter bottle of diet coke
1 pack of mint mentos (for best results use mentos that comes in a tube)
1 small piece of card board (about the size of your hand)
1 pair of scissors

First take the cap off of the bottle of diet coke. Next cut off the end of the mentos tube using the scissors, without spilling any mentos. Then cover the end of the tube of mentos with the piece of card board. After that you will place the tube of mentos with the card board on the end over the top of the soda bottle with the card board on the top of the soda bottle positioning the mentos tube over the top of the soda bottle. Then quickly pull away the card board allowing the mentos to fall into the bottle of diet coke. Quickly back away from the bottle and watch the soda shoot out of the bottle.

It will take a while for you to get it right. Then you can try with more mentos, diffrent soda, and diffrent size soda bottles. But this will only work with diet soda!
