Although many people believe that Diet Coke and Mentos causes a chemical reaction, scientists believe it is a physical reaction. Carbon dioxide is drawn to the Mentos, and it creates many small bubbles in the soda. All of the bubbles build up and create pressure within the bottle, causing the soda to shoot out.

When I poured each soda in their respective glasses, they both fizzed in…

The expert's testimony favored the soft drink companies and this effort eventually resulted in the sales being reinstated in high schools. The argument that…

Bright Color Beverages Can Stain the Teeth The color in beverages comes from intensely pigmented molecules that are referred to as…
