Does it work with regular soda, or only diet?

Sleuthing scientists?

It works very poorly with regular soda, and phenomenally well with diet. The artificial sweetener is one of the key components in the explosion.

Leave it to the dark, evil overlord to publish such dastardly information :-)

Someone at a class today saw me grab a diet coke and told me she'd read how unsafe it was. I wonder if she thought I'd explode on drinking it. Perhaps that's why she made a hasty retreat!

So long as you don't gobble Mentos and then drink it.

Rumors abound about diet sodas and sweeteners. Most of them are false.

Some folks do react to NutraSweet or other types, though, just as some are allergic to nuts or shellfish.

www.snopes.com has plentiful info on sweetener myths.

Mythbusters on Discovery channel did a show in which they featured the Mentos in the Soda bit.
