" These additives are thought to enhance fountaining by lowering the surface tension of the beverage"
It’s a still a physical effect, not a chemical reaction. The additives allow the physical effect to happen more rapidly because the water has lower surface tension.
So… You’re just being a pedantic ass because I said chemical reaction instead of chemical component (or something to that effect). Really…
My general point still stands. Diet Coke creates more of a reaction with mentos then regular Coke. It is more than just nucleation points on the candy.
