Who keeps Mentos lying around anyway?! This is what science is really about - making do with what you've got 😂

That mystery purple Fanta though... anyone actually know what flavour it's supposed to be?

something visually stunning 💙

Did anyone else NOT know this worked with sparkling water?!

If supermarket cola works just as well as the expensive brands... why pay more?

sweeteners don't increase the liquid's surface tension as much as real sugar does. This allows CO2 bubbles to form faster and bigger!

Plus, I'm showing you the paper tube trick - the fastest way to drop multiple Mentos into a bottle at once without fumbling and losing the fizz.

Series starter! We're testing everything with Cola & Mentos - got any wild ideas we haven't thought of yet? Comment below! 🎯

Who's trying this today? Only takes 30 minutes to see the magic happen!

...enough to see most of the action. 24 hours just settled it a bit more. Not drinkable, but fascinating to watch chemistry doing its thing 🧪

...bottom, taking some of the colour with them.

The interesting bit? Coca-Cola, Fanta and Sprite all have a pH of 2.5-3.5 (milk is 6.7). That's acidic enough to curdle milk on contact - the exact same thing your stomach acid does every time you drink milk, you just can't see it!

bottom as coloured solid chunks. Each drink gave the same reaction, just in different shades.

Here's what's actually happening:
The phosphoric acid in these drinks is curdling the milk proteins instantly. The acid molecules bond with the calcium, creating dense clumps that sink to the...

Pro tip: Keep adding more vinegar when the bubbles stop and it starts all over again! We did this for 20 minutes straight 🌋
