Man fills pool with 6,800 litres of Coca-Cola, adds Mentos then gets in - this is what happens

The Coca-Cola and Mentos experiment has been raging for years, but this video shows a man who isn't afraid of the reaction - as he dives into a pool of the stuff.

Taras Maksimuk is a YouTuber called TechRax known for smashing iPhones in unbelievable ways - including inside a ball of fireworks and wrapped in bacon.

But this time, he decided to have an outdoor dip in a 6,800 litre Coca-Cola swimming pool - and he added a stack of Mento mints and 200 pounds of ice to the mix.

When cola is mixed with Mento mints, a process called nucleation occurs, where the carbon dioxide in the fizzy drink reacts with the sugary surface of the mint and each one forms a mini explosion.




Ukrainian Taras, based in California, wrote: "This was epic!

"After weeks of buying thousands of Coke bottles and many more hours of opening and pouring, the magnificent Coca-Cola pool was created."

Asked how the bath felt, he replied: "I feel like I'm in a pool of Coke, man."
