    If only it worked; the mentos would start disintegrating by your saliva and the coke would already form bubbles as soon as it enters your mouth thanks to the rough surface inside 🤓

      Hard disagree. I’ve put mentos in my mouth then took a big gulp of cola, and it definitely still worked. Maybe it wasn’t as powerful as it would be in a plastic bottle, but powerful enough to shoot a torrent of foam out my mouth and nose.

      Edit: and to reiterate the title, I do not have Jesus, so your results may vary if you happen to have Jesus in your mouth.

        As someone who is often unable to even enjoy soda because it immediately starts bubbling up and only remains as a sugary liquid by the time it reaches the esophagus, I guess I can’t replicate your observations. Also, I guess I need more water in my mouth before I can let Jesus into it (for a more pleasant experience for both of us)

      Start to? Sure. Be a smooth, saliva-covered mass by the time soda can enter your mouth? Nah.

      In addition, it’s a bit ridiculous to pretend the inside of a mouth has anywhere near the same number of nucleation sites as a Mentos. That’s just ridiculous. It’d be impossible to drink carbonated soda if it were anything remotely close to your implications.
