“A can of Diet Coke will float in water while a can of regular Coke sinks.”(facts) This paper is a research for Mentos and of Diet Coke to see the effort of the that both affect of both have on each. The Mentos are simple mint the Carbon Dioxide in the soda that help the reaction along. The more pressure the bottle has the better the results. Although science teacher has been dropping candies and mints into two-liter bottle soda for years in the effort to release all of the dissolved the carbon dioxide, the Mentos and Diet Coke reaction became world famous in 2005. Fueling hundreds of blogs and popular online, this once obscure reaction becoming an Internet sensation, and the enthusiasm from dropping Mentos in the soda continue to grow.(Steve) …show more content…
The spot where nucleation starts is where carbon dioxide in the soda is attracted to the Mentos. That creates notable pressure that the soda goes flying. Building a nozzles that make the opening smaller that the soda even higher.(EepyBird) Mint mentos admit the least complex ingredient list because no sugar substitutes or flavor additive compounds. The sugar and wheat glucose syrup provides the sweetness. Note that wheat glucose syrup is derivative from wheat, so that Celiac disease can be avoid in Mint Mentos. Farther to structure and the texture of the Mint Mentos, various of starches, gums, and hydrogenated coconut oils are used. The ingredients of Mint Mentos are sugar, wheat glucose syrup, hydrogenated coconut oil, rice starch, gum arabic, sucrose esters of fatty acids, gellan gum and natural flavors.(Becker) Mentos candies is not as smooth as they are the naked eyes. There covered in small craters, which increases the surface are. The Mentos are to the bottle of the soda acts as if in surfactant, means it is reduces the surface tension in the soda. The water molecules are polar and are attracted to each other polar ends. Anything that will breaks apart allowing the bubbles of carbon dioxide gas to form in the solution. The rougher the candy surface to for more bubbles to carbon bubbles to grow, or more nucleations sites. Surfactants are compounds that are lowly the surface tension between two liquids or between a liquid and a
If three Mentos are dropped into a 2-liter of Diet Coke, Diet 7-Up, and Dr Thunder, then the Diet Coke will have the largest reaction to the Mentos.
The pertaining research involves the electrolytes in drinks. “Electrolyte” will be defined and its description of what they do, what they are, and how they help people will be further explained. The intention is to establish the efficiency of sports drinks and orange juice and then compare them. The pros and cons of both the orange juice and sports drinks will be elucidated through the research. Other drinks consumed after exercise will also be researched and their efficiency will be explained.
In this experiment, there were several objectives. First, this lab was designed to determine the difference, if any, between the densities of Coke and Diet Coke. It was designed to evaluate the accuracy and precision of several lab equipment measurements. This lab was also designed to be an introduction to the LabQuest Data and the Logger Pro data analysis database. Random, systematic, and gross errors are errors made during experiments that can have significant effects to the results. Random errors do not really have a specific cause, but still causes a few of the measurements to either be a little high or a little low. Systematic errors occur when there are limitations or mistakes on lab equipment or lab procedures. These kinds of errors cause measurements to be either be always high or always low. The last kind of error is gross errors. Gross errors occur when machines or equipment fail completely. However, gross errors usually occur due to a personal mistake. For this experiment, the number of significant figures is very important and depends on the equipment being used. When using the volumetric pipette and burette, the measurements are rounded to the hundredth place while in a graduated cylinder, it is rounded to the tenth place.
Diet Coke has caffeine and acidity, but these qualities of Diet Coke does not affect the geyser. According to Mental Floss (2013, [online]), “You’ll sometimes read that the acidity of the soda is a major factor in the resulting geyser. This is not the case. In fact, the level of the acidity in the Diet Coke before and after the Mentos geyser does not change.” Also, Mental Floss states that caffeine is often cited as something that will increase the explosive reaction with the soda, this is not the case (2013, [online]). The only reason the Diet Coke, or any other soda, explodes is because of carbon dioxide! “Every
Coke continuously out-stands Pepsi, even though they share a very similar taste and colour, however Coke should not be the drink that receives all the love and attention for what it offers. Despite their similar soda colour, the drinks actually contain some different ingredients, which produce a different taste, and affect the body differently. Furthermore, the way the companies markets their drinks makes a huge contribution to how successful their products will become. The major element for success however stems from their impact on society and how the companies utilize their social power to evolve. The two major soda companies are constantly head to head with one another, yet it is what they do that sets them apart.
The soft drink industry in the United States is a highly profitably, but competitive market. In 2000 alone, consumers on average drank 53 gallons of soft drinks per person a year. There are three major companies that hold the majority of sales in the carbonated soft drink industry in the United States. They are the Coca Cola Company with 44.1% market share, followed by The Pepsi-Cola Company with 31.4% market share, and Dr. Pepper/Seven Up, Inc. with 14.7% market share. Each company respectively has numerous brands that it sales. These top brands account for almost 73% of soft drink sales in the United States. Dr. Pepper/Seven Up, Inc. owns two of the top ten brands sold. Colas are the dominant flavor in the U.S carbonated soft drink industry; however, popularity for flavored soft drinks has grown in recent years. The changing demographics of the U.S population have been an important factor in the growing popularity of these flavored soft drinks. The possible impact of this factor will be addressed later in the case.
Beverage giant Coca-Cola wants to get a little love for its iconic cola drink from the upscale consumer set, so its decided to create and test-market a sleek set of contoured aluminum bottles for its flagship Coke brand. Yes, we said aluminum bottles.

The major ethical issue face by Coca Cola in recent year was concerning sale of hazardous product which affected the health of few consumers including school children. This incident took place in Belgium where Coca Cola beverages found themselves in middle of an accusation of selling poorly processed batch of carbonated drinks which made initially 10 people ill and later the number swelled to 100 which also included school children. This was a contamination scare incident that took place in June 1999. This damaged Coca Cola customer base harming their confidence in the product as it was relating to the production and sale of hazardous product. Two main problems that were identified by the company relating to their production and distribution were ‘‘Off-quality’’ carbon dioxide that affected the taste and odor of some bottled drinks, and an offensive unusual odor on the outside of some canned drinks which were later identified as sulphur odor. This odor has an increasing intensity when the cans were placed in vending machines to sell.
Pepsi and Coca-Cola are both sodas, but they differ in terms of the satisfying flavors, the color and the graphic design that represents their two products, and then how Coke makes more money than Pepsi. With that said, you should have gotten the ideology of what we will go further in discussing about. Everybody loves these two very well-known sodas which can inject caffeine into you, which makes you all jittery in filling you up with an energetic energy. Alright, enough of this, let's go straight in-depth in talking about the two rivals throughout this paper of how Pepsi beats Coke in sales, but Coke is usually ahead when it comes to annual net income (Feigin) or how Pepsi is a sweeter brand compared to Coke, though Coke brand is more valuable
Experimentation with the new market for carbonated beverages on the decline coke has done experiments in new flavors and healthier alternatives to try to stay competitive. As well as investing in “Keurig Green Mountain is a K-Cup maker but has a new Keurig Cold that can deliver Coca-Cola through the new system.” (Cooper, 2014)
There are a variety of beverages available to us today with a wide range of differences, some are flavored, carbonated, low calorie, energy boosters, and just plain water. When it comes down to carbonated drinks there are two major rivalry soda companies dominating the market. Coca Cola and Pepsi are two well know cola distributors with very credible history, but the question still remains one is America’s favorite? With the ongoing competition between Coca-Cola and Pepsi, each company is incorporating new strategies for marketing and advertising there brands. When comparing an advertisement from each of the companies, we will review how they appeal to consumers.
The case study "Cola Wars Continue: Coke and Pepsi in the Twenty-First Century" focuses on describing Coke and Pepsi within the CSD industry by providing detailed statements about the companies’ accounts and strategies to increase their market share.
