Why do mints come out when you put them in coke?
The gel and resin released by mints after entering water destroy the surface tension of cola liquid, and mints have many fine micropores, which is an ideal place to form carbon dioxide foam. Peppermint contains gum Arabic, which makes the surface tension of water molecules more easily broken, and makes cola release more carbon dioxide at an alarming rate, so it can spray so high.

Mint contains many pectin substances, and the pore structure of these substances reacts physically with carbonic acid, which will accelerate the release of carbon dioxide. If you eat these two things at the same time, a lot of carbon dioxide will be released in the stomach, which will increase the burden on the stomach and cause stomach pain, which is not good for health.

Small experiment:

A few minty minty candies were thrown into Coca-Cola. After a few seconds, a huge coke column spewed out of the coke bottle, leaving only half a bottle of coke in the bottle after spraying.
