What are the chemicals that react when combining coca cola and mentor?
Im really really stuck. I've scoured the internet for this answer but I have not found anything. If you also know the chem equation for coca cola that'll be amazing!
Update: Is the coca cola formula equation a secret?

The surface of the mint Mentos is covered with many small holes that increase the surface area available for reaction, thereby allowing co2 bubbles to form with the rapidity and quantity necessary for the "jet"—or "geyser"—or eruption like nature of the effusion.
