1. Death By Coke What does it take to kill a man with pop and candy?

2. Variables Dependent- pressures I get from reaction Independent - combination of pop and Mentos

3. Materials Diet Coke ( name brand or generic in 2 liter and 20oz. sizes ), Mentos ( name brand ), balloons

4. Hypothesis –I predict that a 2 liter bottle of name brand Coke and a single roll of name brand Mentos will produce the highest pressures.

5. Process 1.First I will individually test each combination of generic and name brand soda and Mentos. I will also test different sizes and choose the ones that I think creates the highest pressure to conduct my experiment with. 2. Second I will test to see if my theory is even reasonable using balloons. I will repeat what I did in the last step using the most powerful combinations only this time placing balloons over the openings. 3. Depending on the results I get I may or may not continue testing.

6. Results Using a 2 liter bottle of Diet Coke and also using the generic version the theory test proved successful. Even with a partial package of mentos the ballons ruptured almost immediately

7. Conclusion With absolute perfect conditions are created suffocation may be possible but the chances of stomach rupture are next to none
