What Is This Really About?

Have you ever seen a video of someone dropping Mentos into a bottle of soda and watched it fizz wildly? It’s like a soda geyser! But why does this happen? This fizzy reaction is all about bubbles. Imagine blowing bubbles into liquid with a straw. The more you blow, the more bubbles you get. Mentos candies are a bit like straws: they're covered with tiny bumps and holes that help lots of bubbles form quickly. The fizz you see is carbon dioxide gas escaping really fast from the soda.
