Biochemistry anyone?

Ok so we all know what happens with diet coke and mentos right?
Well my question is this, if you were to down a few mentos by chugging diet coke, what would happen? Would the acids and chemicals in your stomach affect the chemical reaction in any way? Would there be a reaction? What would happen and why?

[Yeah!]

Five of your local currency to the first one on here to try it.

Vomit is likely but the act of drinking soda releases most of the carbon dioxide.

^Projectile vomiting most likely...

Nothing happens. I promise.

Well, the reason Mentos and Coke do the explosion isn't about chemical interactions. It's the texture of Mentos, how fast they sink, and the sugar in the soda. Even if you drink a ton of soda and swallow Mentos whole, it wouldn't work.

We learned in chemistry it was a chemical reaction... Unless our teacher was wrong?

Basically, the texture of a Mento's surface disrupts the water molecules and allows bubbles to grow as it plummets down into the Coke bottle. If you test the acidity before and after, it doesn't change. You can use caffeinated or non and have the same result. You can also use sugary or diet. However, if you use flat Coke or crushed up Mentos, it won't work the same way.

 

[Yeah!]

Ah, in the same way that champagne bubbles rise from dirt in the glass. That makes a great deal of sense. Condensation nuclei, or something, I think it's called. Nerdy Girl, you make my world make sense.

 

[nerdygirl]

Oh, golly. Why would you put dirt in your champagne? You're a dirty dirty man. If only I could make my own world make sense.

 

[SaveMe]

Lol

 

[Yeah!]

You mean y'all DON'T put dirt in yours?
