Is Mentos and Coke a chemical reaction?
But the amazing eruption that takes place when Mentos are dropped into Diet Coke or other brands of diet soda pop is not a chemical reaction at all! Instead it is a physical reaction. That means that all of the pieces of the reaction are there, but that they are simply rearranged.
How is frying an egg a chemical change?
A chemical transition is distinct from a physical change in which atoms or molecules are not rearranged and an entirely new material is formed.

What happens if you drink Coke and milk?
What happens when you mix the two drinks? Pouring milk in Coke or vice versa results into a reaction of phosphoric acid in the Coke to milk’s proteins causing them to stick together, creating dense lumps that later settle at the bottom. In short, the milk curdles up.
What happens if you eat Mentos and Coke?
Your stomach can explode from drinking Coke and eating Mentos together. Similar to the exploding stomachs in the Pop Rocks story, Coke and Mentos is just another myth.
