I think it was tested by mythbuster..

No that's not explosion at all! Not even near. Explosion is usually cause by chemical reaction. The mentos and coke however, is completely non-chemical at all. In fact, it is a physical process where the mentos provides the carbonated liquid so much nucleation sites that results all the dissolved carbon dioxide to burst out in an instant! Which confuse so much people and make them think it is some kind of chemical explosion.

Drinking coke + mentos won't burst ur gut, it'll make u burp alot and gives you an unwell stomach, that's all.

but it has impact... i remember the coke bottle burst open and the pieces flew quite far away... don;t u think it possess similar traits with explosion?
