spoilers about non-food use of food (redraft edit x2) 

diet coke is carbonated by dissolving carbon dioxide gas in it

the CO2 usually returns to gas fairly slowly, but faster when there are more nucleation sites - for example, dust or rough surfaces

(this is why the first bubbles of boiling happen at fixed points on a surface of a pot - those are nucleation points)

the surface of mentos is very rough

and so much gas is created after a mento is dropped in that soda erupts from the bottle

@manifold I wonder if mixing koolaid and then paper-filtering the resultant liquid would make it safely carbonatable

@packbat @manifold A paper filter wouldn't recover the flavorant, you'd need to evaporate the water out. unless you're talking about removing stray flavor powder and then using a sodastream, which shouldn't be a concern; there won't be enough undissolved stuff to cause any problems

@Felthry @manifold We were talking about removing stray flavor powder prior to carbonization, yeah - we haven't used a sodastream or anything like that, we don't have an instinct for what's a problem or not

@Felthry @packbat nah I've done it in both orders. and there DEFS ends up being enough stray & undissolved to cause problems

@manifold @packbat Huh. Guess we haven't had koolaid in too long then!
