Combination of mentos with drinking cola leads to bubbling and pressure from a process of reaction .

It all began in brazil, with the death of a child, who ate mentos and drank cocacola, a year before it happened again with the death of another child.

Please, forward this

I got this in email with pictures, try putting a mentos in a bottle of cocacola, I would advice to take a step back....

Mythbusters did a whole thing on this. Pretty interesting, poor kids though. Did they swallow the Mentos whole or something? The reaction is caused in part by the rough outer layer of the Mentos.

Haha, could be, I'm gonna check this anyway ^_^

This gives me an idea for what to serve certain relatives.

You sound more like me then you know.

I heard that if you eat a Twxy Styk and Coke you im/explode. Btw: Twxy Styks are flavored sugar, not fun while babysitting.

So let me get this straight, people have actully -died- from drinking coke and eating mentos? [Repeats the generic T.V scene of a hobo shaking his head at a bottle of bear and throwing it away, replacing the hobo with me, and the beer with Coke]

People died...?

Some airmen I know had bought some Mentos and Coke and were eating/drinking them specifically to watch the bubble effect happen.

I guess us Americans are just more hard-core than thus puny brazil-people!

Hmm... i DARE all of you to do it.

And record and post the result

Debunked.

That someone has died is false. That drinking coke and popping mentos though, would still be absolutely retarded to do. Sounds like there are already plenty of videos on the net, give it a look sometime. I've gotta get to sleep.
