For the second installment of ToastedRav's Myth Munchers, we decided to take on a couple of explosive food myths about a few of your favorite treats: pop rocks, mentos and diet coke.

I've always heard that you're not supposed to chow down on pop rocks and diet coke at the same time - something about it being deadly or something - so we tried it out anyway. Since we lived through that urban legend, we also decided to tackle diet coke and mentos, which proved to be a bit more interesting.
