Dropping Mentos into Diet Coke is one of the most popular at-home experiments to perform. When the candy’s porous surface, gelatin, and gum arabic combine with the potassium benzoate, aspartame, and carbonation in the soda, the CO 2 gets released incredibly rapidly, producing a tremendous amount of foam. When forced to go through the bottle’s narrow opening, this creates a huge geyser.

The folks at Epic Meal Empire, a new show coming to FYI Television this July, decided to up the ante a little bit. Why drop a few Mentos into a single bottle when you can wear a suit covered in hundreds of Mentos and get dropped into a dunk tank full of Diet Coke?
