That has yet to be proven to be the real reason. As is with most scientific experiments, it's more of a technical reason than a vain one. LOL
Anyways, I have still yet to see why diet cokes does work better than regular coke (and yes, it does my friends) but some hypothesize that it has to do with the artificial sweeteners in the diet coke, as opposed to the natural sugar found in regular cola)
This weekend, along with building my rocket, I plan on testing other various soft drinks for reactivity to mentos, and a new found slow release "ammunition source" which I shall keep under wraps till extensive testing can be done on my part.
But, so far.. let's just say I sacrificed a Bawls for the cause, and it works well. Mentos and Bawls works well, and my secret ammo and Bawls too, but I don't know how well since I just did the experiment in a plastic cup, with no nozzle for shooting like a soda bottle has and I can't judge pressure in a rather large open container.. yet..
**I like how Mentos tries to default to Mentors in the spell check. Next question I have is what happens when you drop Mentor(s) in Diet Coke?**
Maybe I'll test that as well this weekend..
Any volunteers? (shotty not it! *puts finger on nose*)
**shotty defaults to an interesting word as well.
I think I will inform Brandon of that one and have it removed. LOL
