Mentos

So has anyone ever done this before? I know I've used this illustration before.

Have you ever put Mentos in Diet Coke? It's so good.

You've got to do it this afternoon.

Get the family around.

Guys, it's going to be great.

If you put Mentos in Diet Coke, what happens is it reacts and it just explodes out of the bottle.

Now, I believe this to be true.

When you are filled, we are filled with the Spirit as a community.

Oh, look, there's cinnamon in my snot.

We're going to do the Coke and Mentos challenge.

How does it work?

You put in Mentos into Diet Coke bottle.

And then what? That's it.

Really? That was a video back then.

That's why you Rack.

Okay, he does have it in his mouth.

exactly yeah You basically do like your volcano science experiment on your own body.

Now it's just Coca-Cola and Mentos.

Yeah, exactly.

It's the

Coca-Cola and Mentos before Mentos.

It was Pop Rocks.

Yeah.

But every activity, every single lesson has a practical hands-on component.

And if you come to that, it says draw a poster of a volcano and your child's not someone who enjoys doing that, then make a volcano if you want to with your Mentos and your Coca-Cola.

However works for your child, feel confident to take notes the lesson and say how how and then once they get older and they get into high school they'll be very clear they're very independent mine was certainly I've I've now homeschooled my last three I've got five as well but my last three have just finished and gone off through homeschooling for their high school years and they're and they were very clear about the way they like to learn the things they like to learn the things they didn't like to learn like I said you just I'm off and keep on moving.

And the things that they are real passionate about, you give them more of that and adapt.

But what's actually keeping you attached? Is it the existence of a feeling or is it the idea that because you have that feeling, you have to keep doing something with it? Those are two completely separate things.

I think about Diet Coke and Mentos.

You can have both of those things.

And if you combine them, you're going to get a reaction.

I don't totally know why a mechanical, like, nucleation site, an imperfection in the metal, a scratch, causes the gas to appear out of the liquid.

Same with why a Mentos dropped into Coke, it, it, Mentos is just somehow covered in nucleation sites, and just an enormous amount of gas gets produced.

Mm-hmm.

But I don't know why.

It's just really hairy.

[laughs] Mentos is just really, really sort of has all of these little air pockets in it.

But why is it that when this hairy surface comes into contact with a gas dissolved in a liquid, the gas goes, "Whoa, I'm out"?

Yeah.

That's so, so the story goes.

You know what? That Mentos.

Misinformation exploded.

[laughs]

That's what exploded on the internet.

You could do that with Mentos and Diet Coke too, huh?

Yeah, that's cool, actually.

It's a science experiment.

[laughs]

It's like a Coke and Mentos situation.

It might explode.

Oh, oh, and here's another.
