How to Make a timed Mentos and Diet Coke bomb with minty strips

Bottle erupting with liquid on a table.

It's been done before, but this Mentos and Diet Coke prank never gets old! Really— who knew those Mentos fresh mints and some acidic Diet Coke could create such an explosion? Astonishing.

So, Nextraker shows you his version of this classic, messy prank, which he refers to as the "Diet Coke and Mentos Time Bomb". And besides the usually ingredients, this version also incorporates some mint strips, in this case, cinnamon Altoids Strips. Wrapping the Mentos mints with the mint strips will create the "time bomb" effect, where the Coke first needs to dissolve the strips before it eats the Mentos.
