Mythbusting- Monday- 3rd period

[throughaphase]

Class was back in the Danger Shop warehouse today, but Kitty was handing out brightly colored ponchos as the students walked in. There was a table set up with soda bottles, and behind that... well, they'd get to that.

"Welcome to the Danger Shop, where you can't get hurt but you presumably can get messy," she greeted them. "We're starting with a common myth: if you pair Coke and Mentos, it'll explode. The thought is that the candy produces carbon dioxide, which reacts with the carbonation bubbles, causing an explosion. Pretty simple.

"This week you're going to put Mentos in Coke. Or, I have other carbonated beverages you can try, and you can see if there's any difference. And once you're done with that, we've got more."

Experiment part two!

Once they had exploded some drinks, Kitty waved them back to the area behind the table, where there were empty water jugs like you would find in an office, and many, many more bottles of soda and rolls of Mentos.

"Now you're gonna compete," Kitty said. "However much soda you want to put in, however many Mentos, mix it up, do what you need to do. Let's see who can get the biggest soda geyser."

"Is the point to see who can make the biggest mess?" Kurt wondered, glancing around after the experiments had mostly come to an end. Because that was what seemed to be happening.
