[@doroncarzakai2547]

Question - I took a soda bottle, opened it and poured a little bit out. I squeezed the upper part of the plastic bottle, closed it firmly and let it sit for a whole day to get to equilibrium. Then, I shook the bottle real good - and it straightened right away and wasn't wrinkly anymore - Hasn't the pressure increased??

[@SERGEANT_DIAZ]

I love watching your videos. This made me think of the good ol' MRE bombs we made in the Army. I'd love to see you do a video on that. This is where you take the heater (or the contents... magnesium) of an MRE, put it in a water bottle (not too full) and put the cap on it. Do this outdoors as the bottle WILL blow. It's best to use thick plastic like Gatorade bottles or thick water bottles as the thin, cheap plastic will burst through before enough pressure builds up and you'll get a "wet toot" sound instead of a nice boom!

I don't understand why this guy gets a lot of dislikes his videos are fun and educating

[@HeavyMetal-HardRock]

The reason why he gets a lot of dislikes is because he goes against all the science projects you learned in high school or middle school. He's wrong. A lot of the times. I learned in junior high and in high school the pressure does increase in a shaken bottle of soda. He's trying to undo everything that we've ever learned and try to say that it was wrong lol which is just ridiculous. Go ahead buy a bottle of pop. Shake it up really hard. You can feel how tight it gets that tightness is pressure. So yes, the pressure does rise in a shaken bottle of soda. And if you put mentos in a bottle of Coke, the pressure rises. He thinks we're all morons and we'll just believe whatever he says. When conventional science is against, even what he's saying.

[@JonMorganMadness]

That was very informative. Found it interesting cuz I just posted a video where I dropped a diet coke bottle with mentos in it from 40 feet. I was scared as I held it there to gain pressure thinking it would explode in my hand, but turns out I didn't need to worry.

[@fahd4007]

[@jeffreyhueseman7061]

mentos have very rough surface and the soda has carbon dioxide and as you see in the video that's what happens.

[@CookingWithJackDaniels]

Rock salt was tested to be the best on Mythbusters

[@uncledavid5344]

Ultrasonic waves works best

[@LukeL007]

It is also the way rock candy is made. You take a supersaturated solution of sugar and water and place a wooden stick inside of it. On that stick you place a tiny lump of crystalized sugar. It forms a nucleation or seeding site for other sugar crystals to latch onto. The same thing works for the mentos, one CO2 bubble sticks to you, then 2, then 4, 8, and so on. Kidney stones also grow in your body in the same way.

[@breakerhun4859]

If you put dried ice into an almost full of normal water in a coke bottle, it will also blow up(if you keep it closed of course). But be careful because it is a slow reaction but effective.

Haha you soda blast shield Is so cool😎

[@jellebosma7623]

If the pressure increases the reaction will stop. You can actually see this because when the mentos was dropped in it first started bubbling but then stopped. This is due to the pressure increasing to a certain level at witch the reaction stops. Thats also the reason why te pressures where the same

[@aaron2024_1]

Does this mean that you can put dry ice in an empty bottle and it won't explode? If so, try it. If not, try it. Please

[@TheActionLab]

Of course not. Dry ice is solid CO2 and when it sublimates in the bottle it creates an enormous amount of pressure it will for sure explode:)

[@fischX]

That depends on the bottle, the temperature and the amount of dry ice, with a phase diagram of co2 and bottle ratings you can answer your question.

[@yaksher]

Dry ice sublimates with a vapor pressure which, at room temperature, is enough to cause the bottle to explode (and from one of the King of Random's earlier videos, apparently even enough pressure to form _liquid_ CO2 (and the soda bottle can hold that pressure. They're incredibly hard to burst)). Here we have dissolved gases coming out and that also has a maximum pressure-the pressure they were dissolved into the liquid at, or in other words, the initial pressure of the bottle.

[@some169]

Hallo!!!!! I tried it once, It EXPLODES!!!

[@Panda-momium]

Try antacid it'll absolutely explode

[@joeshedler6496]

so if you want you soda/pop to last longer in the bottle, add air pressure to the bottle, so the Co2 stays in the liquid longer. would that work?

[@JBinero]

If shaking a bottle doesn't increase the pressure, then why do tin cans bulge if you shake them?

[@geminirox8635]

because he's just straight up wrong

[@Dyltheboy]

True

[@mysteryman9641]

My explanation to your question is: So basically the can is full of soda to the brim and not much space where anything else could fit inside. When you shake it gas is released and has nowhere to go. So pressure is technically increased temporarily because the gas is not dissolved into the liquid and it is trying to escape but has nowhere for it to go, this then causes the can to bulge as the gas forces against the can trying to escape. But it will go back to equilibrium without being opened and the Co2 will dissolve back into the liquid and it will be less firm again. I think he explained it wrong. There will be no permanent increase in pressure as there is only a certain amount of Co2 in the bottle/can and there is no way to make more. You shake -> gas releasing from liquid -> gas tries to escape bottle/can but can't -> bulging can; leave it to sit -> back to equilibrium and gas will dissolve back into liquid. Bulges may stay as metal (aluminium) is warped. Does this now make sense?

[@dareangel8718]

There is a difference in mixing a liquid with small particles and putting a layer of particles on top.

[@draygoes]

@The Action Lab When I saw the title of this video, I think my ears actually perked up. The results of this really are fascinating. 0.o At this point the question becomes, what is the difference between coke and diet coke that make them react so differently? I understood most of your explanation, but one would think that coke and diet coke would be much more similar.

[@wesleyson21]

Draygoes Mythbusters actually explored this quite a bit and determined that the caffeine, artificial sweeteners and also the higher acid content all play a factor. It isn't just the nucleation sites that causes the reaction.

[@draygoes]

wesleyson21 - Ah, I will have to check that out. Thank you for the info. This opens up a new world of thought. Keeping everything in mind, there might actually be a close to perfect combination for the largest reaction.

[@isaackogan269]

I uh don't trust mythbusters, but if you want to know why, it's because, in this case, the sweeteners, specifically things like aspartame. Look it up, or ask reddit

[@DJAsHeRMusic]

Diet coke has phosphoric acid and citric acid normal coke only has phosphoric acid it could be that

[@DJAsHeRMusic]

Plus other ingredients like aspartame etc

[@jfmezei]

2 questions: 1- it was said the Metons trick woked only with diet coke. Could a different chemical reaction be happening with an incredient in diet coke but not in coke? 2- when I was youger, the shake can before you give it to friend really worked, whereas now, it appears to be far less of an impact. Is it possible that since the 1980s, they changed formulation of drinks so the foaming doesn't happen as much?

[@krist6074]

Thank you for sharing these cool videos!! So basically a container or a plastic bottle will never be able to pop, because the fluid inside of it can never get to a greater pressure. Makes a lot of sense when you think about it actually. I guess the only reason a plastic bottle or container will pop when you drop it, is if the plastic or metal gets a weakened structure that'll make it pop?

[@narwadeshwarsahai7731]

coz more mentos means more surface area for the carbon dioxide to escape which would exert greater pressure on the bottle (just guessing)

The Action Lab please tell if I am wrong or right....

[@Jeremyatrujillo]

Normally I really like your videos because you do a thorough job of explaining things as well as showing them in great detail, buuuuuut on this one I feel like it was half baked. You used a 20oz DIet Coke and our one mento in there. That would be like would you use your vacuum chamber to test things but don’t take them to full vacuum. Again, normally your videos are great but this one felt very low grade unfortunately. I really hope you can make another video with different size bottles and different types of soda; and especially way more mentos.

[@vis9487]

Did any of you get the point of the video? @Narwadeshwar Sahai, the guy clearly explained why mentos and CO2 have absolutely nothing to do with pressure, even if you throw in a million mentos it will just let the CO2 leave the drink, the molecules just moved from one place to another, no matter how fast that is happening. That's the easiest explanation I can give you. @Jeremyatrujillo, literally the same explanation is on point for you too.. Just try to hear and understand what the guy is trying to explain.

[@geminirox8635]

yea he's definitely wrong about it not increasing pressure. Shake an unopened bottle and it will become more firm.

[@subhadeepmandal3092]

Try to understand bro it's all about equilibrium. In this system it keeps on getting back to its equilibrium. All mentos does is provide a surface for nucleation doesn't even react with the drink. You need something to react and generate more gas in a short amount of time so that it fails to attain equilibrium. Only then explosion can occur.

It got rock hard the instant the two touched, and then we smashed the bottle into the ground. The sheer jet of coke was enough to make it fly for like 70mts. After some time, the menthos pack changed, it was no longer white but blueish white (the same flavour of menthos), and with those menthos the reaction was laughable compared to the white ones.. This was around 2005/06 in argentina.

So you're telling me that fish can't breathe pure H2O?

[@CablDragon]

Okay, first of all the density of a 16 oz. bottle is much higher than a 2 ltr. bottle. Also the jackass that blew up the 2 ltr soda put about 4 or 5 in. So basically the larger vessel is thinner, thus weaker, yet it holds more liquid causing a harsher reaction. One final point(very important) would be to crush the candy slightly for a quicker reaction as well. You might consider something a bit more rigid to hide behind instead of the plexi too.

[@DANGJOS]

+The Action Lab I wonder if shaking or mentos also helps to decompose some of the carbonic acid inside the soda. As soda fizzes out, it also doesn't burn nearly as much, which indicates that much of the carbonic acid (formed from dissolved CO2 reacting with water) has also been destroyed. Also, I guess gas pressure is like vapor pressure. As soon as you open the soda, the gas pressure above the liquid must drop from 2 atmospheres to 1 atmosphere. This also liberates some of the dissolved CO2. You could get out even more CO2 by placing it vacuum in a vacuum. Those people on the internet must be faking, because the amount of pressure needed to burst a plastic soda bottle is on the order of 10 atmospheres (from what I looked up once)! That might be a good video, by the way. How much pressure is required to burst soda bottles of different sizes. The required pressure is less for a larger bottle

+DANG JOS yeah those videos are for sure faked. About the carbon acid, I measured the pH with mentors and it didn't change so I'm not sure how much putting in mentors changes the carbonic acid (other than just releasing CO2 faster)

[@DANGJOS]

The Action Lab Okay, interesting

I've tried this irl and i swear when i do it it has a bigger effect than when you're doing it

When I was younger (and stupider!), a friend of mine and I used to do experiments with dry ice... His mom worked for a medical testing lab and would occasionally bring home a block of dry ice for us to play around with. So we did the usual chunks of dry ice in the warm water and then in an enclosed plastic 2 liter bottle (it expanded to almost a sphere and then finally exploded). Then...one of us got the bright idea of putting it in a *glass* 2 liter bottle (hard to find those anymore) to see what would happen.... Well, after an hour or so it still had not exploded, so we figured we would "help it"... So one of us threw a small rock at it and (no exaggeration) it sounded like a hand grenade had gone off! My mom and dad came running outside, saying "What the HELL was THAT?!" Looking back on it, my friend and I should not have made it into adulthood...

I'd like to know how much pressure it takes to burst one of those bottles. Could you measure that somehow?

[@ky1ebetts]

Put a few MRE heater packets into an empty soda bottle. Then add water, cap it, and quickly shake it up, then throw it.

[@aronbraswell1589]

question would a pumpkin explode in space? Can you test that in the vacuum chamber?

[@a2pha]

... and that's how I lost my pinky finger.

Hi there, I liked the explanation. Why does Baking Soda and Vinegar in a bottle explode? I assume it creates a reaction producing gas..? I'll Google it but would love to see an explanation in your videos :-) if you haven't already done one...

[@PrincessHarmonyMoonlight]

Hehehe he had a blast shield 😂

[@Abel-hy8zn]

how about if they put more mentos in it than you did?

[@saqibmudabbar]

So mentos is like a catalyst. However it kind of gets consumed in the process.

[@mystemlearning637]

Say I really loved mentos and I ate a few packets and then drank an entire bottle of soda, would I have a funny bugs bunny stomach explosion moment, or a great way of winning the burping competition? 😂
