Mentos
What makes them chewy? What makes them sweet? What makes them so angry at diet coke? Why was the vending machine so reluctant to give them to me? Ellen sits down with a friend to chat about (and experiment with) Mentos.

Toothpaste
Why do you ingest it twice a day? Why has it got so much sodium in it? From whence that minty flavour? I don't know about that last one, but I do know a few other things about the chemistry of toothpaste.

Some of these questions are answered in the first episode of Shut Up and Eat This.
