Along side our human body work we have been having a look at physical reactions.
We tested 3 different types of Coke and Mentos - we had to keep all our variables the same and only change one to make it a fair test.
We changed coke types first, but kept everything else the same.
The types we tested were Coke Zero, Budget Diet Cola and Pepsi Max. All the research we did said that Coke Zero worked the best - but that is not what we found!
After we had tried the three types of warm cola we tested a Coke Zero that had been in the fridge - that made a big difference.
Here are some videos showing our results.
This one wasn't all that flash
This one was the one that we had in the fridge - it didn't work at all.
And . . . the Budget Cola was the best!!
Then we did some thinking and modified the top so it only had a little hole, because the pressure built up, it was fantastic! The coke shot higher than the top of the basketball hoop backboard!

What an awesome experiment, I hope I get a chance to see the real thing!!
