    In this Broadcast Award-winning, BAFTA and Emmy Award-nominated entertainment show, Taskmaster tyrant Greg Davies (Man Down, Cuckoo), with the help of his loyal assistant Alex Horne (The Horne Section and the show’s creator), sets out to test the wiles, wit and wisdom of five hyper-competitive comedians.
    Comedians that have risked life, limb, and dignity in the hope of making the Taskmaster proud so far include: Frank Skinner (The Frank Skinner Show), Mel Giedroyc (The Great British Bake Off), Romesh Ranganathan (Asian Provocateur), Hugh Dennis (Outnumbered), Sally Phillips (Bridget Jones’ Diary), Rose Matafeo (Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner 2018), and Russell Howard (The Russell Howard Hour). Unaware of what awaits them in each wax-sealed envelope, only one competitor can become the victorious owner of His Royal Task-ness’ golden head and be crowned the next Taskmaster Champion.

    The two most common mistakes people seem to make with Mentos/Diet Coke are 1) using regular Coke instead of Diet, and 2) pouring the Diet Coke in advance. You don't get the same reaction with regular Coke and you need the carbonation of freshly opened soda. I once saw a video where a guy filled an above ground pool with Coke Classic and then threw in a bag of Mentos. Nothing happened, because in the time it took to fill the pool, it went completely flat.

      Also, in Ian's case, he made another rookie mistake, which was, he forgot that soil absorbs liquid. He should've dropped the mentos in there first and then poured the coke last, but my man did the opposite and then proceeded to give a little speech before dropping the mentos. Took too long.

      But the mentos cause the coke to explode because the surface of the candy is covered in little pores and bumps that agitate the drink as it falls through it and releases all the co2 rapidly
      In effect the mentos are just shaking up the soda

    • @lolmanyeah1
      @lolmanyeah1 Před 2 lety

      More mentos means more surface area of pores. You're just flat out wrong. By your logic adding a small fraction of a mento would create the same reaction as a full one because things like surface area don't exist to you.

    • @lolmanyeah1
      @lolmanyeah1 Před 2 lety

      Mentos have hundreds of tiny imperfections (nucleation sites) on their surface. Dropping Mentos into coke or lemonade allows the dissolved gas within the liquid to come out of the liquid super-fast at these nucleation points on the Mentos surface.

    • @lolmanyeah1
      @lolmanyeah1 Před 2 lety

      Obviously adding more mentos would cause a more violent reaction. THERE WOULD BE MORE NUCLEATION SITES. He failed because he poured the soda allowing it to flatten. The carbon bubbles already escaped. You ARE AN IDIOT. IDIOT ALERT. OP IS A HUGE DENSE IDIOT.
