Can Mentos and Diet Coke really kill you?

Many people used to think Pop Rocks and soda could kill you. That has been disproved already, but what about Mentos and Diet Coke? I mean if you watch the videos online you can see some truly amazing results. So could eating them at the same time actually kill you?
Also Myth Busters only did it with a pig stomach. It would be different with a real person. I mean couldn’t some of the foam shoot up and get in your lungs or something?

Well, On Myth busters I saw an episode and they tested it on a pig’s stomach. It wouldn’t really kill you although there have been stories its happened. I woudn’t recommend it.

Absolutely not. Not only has Mythbusters covered this with Pop Rocks and soda, but Snopes investigated and proved this false a long time ago. You can read about it here —–> http://www.snopes.com/horrors/freakish/mentos.asp
