Fast Explosions with Soda

All you Need

• Diet soda
• Mentos

The kids love explosions so I thought this one would be simple and fun.  I found out people use Diet soda so it's less sticky.  I wanted to do and experiment and use diet soda and some regular soda and see which one works best.  The kids picked out grape and orange for the regular soda.  The diet soda worked the best.  It wasn't as big of an explosion as I thought it would be, but the kids loved it.

The grape soda was barely an explosion.

The orange soda got a little bigger then the grape, but still not a lot of fun.  Our conclusion was the diet soda works the best.
