Dangerous. Some kids have attempted this in themselves. Pay close attention. Menthos and coke inside of you is a guaranteed funeral. You don't burst like a balloon, but you will rupture something internally and you will DIE.

The answer is surface tension or the coulomb force in water. Its that same thing I've been showing you these past experiments.

And what does this have to do with chemistry? Coulomb forces hold liquids together but are so weak that they cannot affect flow! Gravity and angular momentum of a large mass is stronger!

Solid steel is heavier than water. However coulomb forces can cause sufficient surface tension to float a paper clip. Watch what happens when some JOY(TM) enters the equation and fouls up the local charge orientations and states in that metallic alloy.
