I wanted to explore mentos + carbonated drinks to see what might be the most messy.
Most sites I see advice using diet soda so it's not sticky.
Well, what fun is that? I want to see what can make it MORE sticky. Perhaps adding something into the soda? Using different types of soda? How many add-ins make it not work out?
Have any of you explored mentos + drinks for messy play? What did you enjoy?

Could you try using syrup for soda? Like gatorade soda syrup that you can carbonate? It can be any flavor but you can choose how potent it would be

I could have got this all wrong but I think there's another reason too: diet soda (the colas anyway) tend to be fizzier so the jet shoots further. If you're playing at closer range that may not be an issue though.
(Am I right in saying this, and could syrups reduce the eruption even more?)
