Pepsi Challenge Explained

[audveltadmuna]

i feel i am getting closer to the weird part of youtube

[needzpower2]

Moral of the story. When going boating always take diet pepsi!

[dboss812]

i learned this in science class

[MOGPOGTOGZOG]

that awesome moment when the top comment match!

[Subparanon]

Guys guys guys.......come on this is elementary. There is only one reason one would sink while the other floated, density vs displacement. Two objects of the same displacement but different densities will float differently. The thing about those cans are they are not rigid and expand or contract with temperature and internal pressure. Shake one can of warm or hot soda up and drop it in next to one that has been chilled....or take one frozen can of soda vs one liquid can....you see now?

really you didnt explain anything

[ThePrototype609]

less sugar for diet. solved

[PlasmaArmada]

who never even saw the original video? And just decide to click the explanation

[thewayaround123]

GOOGLE, please stop putting fucking ads on the fucking video!!!!!!!!!!!! im tired of clicking them off every single fucking time i watch a video.

nobody reads them, nobody cares. STOP

[mmmTheMuffinMan]

@thewayaround123 would you rather pay for youtube? i'll take a small inconvenience over having to pay

[PlasmaArmada]

@thewayaround123 that's how youtube gets money, no ads=no youtube

[DubstepKing27]

Did a science experiment on this in 5th grade :D

[drawingme4]

@DubstepKing27 ya me too!

[TaylorSwiftGurl17]

I THINK C

[edwardcullen62019011]

he is right about the density we did the exact same expierement in science and got the exact same results. the soda itself isnt less dense than the water its the aspertaim that replaces sugar the makes the can float

[dragonbreathstinks]

Diet Pepsi just sucks ass.

[hullumies678]

because the diet can is empty?

[deadrevenge6666]

@hullumies678 no you turd. he told you why the diet didn't sink.

[Slaterking2010]

one has 35g of sugar and the other 2g or aspartame.

[WhiteEmerald1991]

Density is the answer. Once you know the answer from the get go, this is not really special. UNLESS, i do want to know what it is the diet so and/or the can that makes it has a less denisty of 1 g/ml.

[policarpioron20]

it's because it has low or no carbohydrates (sugar)

[trinitykill33]

but its ina can... so like wouldnt the can's density be the one that matters? and they're the same.. :\

[pick8lock]

@trinitykill33 its the matter in the can

thats like saying helium balloons dont have diffrent gas but are lighter then air balloons you blow up

[trinitykill33]

@pick8lock Ahh smart boy :P lmao b4 i read ur comment i re-read mine first and i was like... umm no?

so yea im wrong lol :P

[ninjapharmacist]

@trinitykill33

Or a better example:

A bag filled with air will float, but a bag filled with rocks will sink. Container doesn't matter; the total density does.

[fishinfreddy1]

who cares?

[Oleander410]

Thumbs up if you knew enough chemistry to answer ahead of the demo

[remenneg]

archimedes principleand i love this lesson.. i have done this on my demonstration and it is so much fun!!!!!!!!

[NechuraMusic]

WHAT IS THE SONG?!

[DaOfficialScottKukla]

we did this in science class

[BigHugAndKisses]

I knowed the answer n_n

[advancedace]

I got C: One will float and one will sink. (duh) :D

[Slaterking2010]

Sugar has a higher density then water.

Really a true test to see if its sugar free.

[Ipunchbeezintheface]

@PenileWarfare

Yeah? That's not his fucking point you retard.

[chiefavanger21]

i had to do that in school

[slic4u]

U LEArn something new everyday

[nickcool231]

its because the diet pepsi has less sugar than the normal pepsi

[KirstyLovesMinaj]

kwl.

[one3DoiNWoRk]

its gonana be C

[screwedSide713]

yeah becuz diet is for people losing weight and pepsi is fat and bad :D

[LKA84]

@Pkmaxey

This is actually quite genuine. Ordinary cola contains a lot of sugar. Sugar does not float in water, it sinks. The diet cola contains no sugar, and therefore is not heavier then water, which is why it floats.

[HybridSquidGirl]

@ A @ .... all of your videos have been amazing! Thank you for sharing everything!

[TriviumFan15]

Wow I got it right...

[ursuperugly]

white powah

[jackleekirby]

uhhhhhh,c???

[Reneeb103]

so now i know that diet pepsi isn't plain pepsi in an diet pepsi can

sorry that sounds like an oxymoron

[Mahaney82]

@Reneeb103 Nope. Neither am I a horse in a man costume thats actually a broom in a horse costume.

[derek33able]

lol so that why they call it light coke

[999MadMatt]

DUH!

[whitewolf96wagar]

i remember that from phsical science i had it last year when i was a 9th grader. we had to do a lab on density with diet and regualr pop cans that were still full

[rodeogirl13245]

my science class did this when the teacher was in the bathroom.....

[skylerruin]

diet has more air in it. lo

half a chocolate cake is diet compared to a whole one. lo

[keke121998]

Whenever i watch these video's I always get scared because of the music playing. I think a scary face is going to pop up or something

[TheJamesstark]

soo yea thubs me up if u said outloud omg thts so cool. actully nt thumbs me up il get haters ahaha

[Wrior]

See this is why I don't drink diet sodas, they're always noticeable more bubbly than regular sodas. I wasn't surprised :P

[renatovillarroel]

MUY BUENO

[A6uStIn100]

pa mi que una esta congelada mm me quede con la duda ¬¬

[adorablekitten191]

its because of the sugar in the sodas. one has less, which makes it float

[sandsten94]

@adorablekitten191 diet pepsi dosen't have less sugar. It has no sugar, the sugar is replaced with sweeteners that fuck your boddy up.

[andiebabyxxx]

@sandsten94 actually that is.... right

[moviesmyway]

@sandsten94 aspertame and asulfame should be outlawed.



[Nebuli2]

@sandsten94 No sugar is still less sugar, no?

[huntert1221]

@sandsten94 all soda fucks up your body

[PurpleMilkcup]

what do I drink ?

[jaci512]

We did this in science once so of corse...i got it right!

[ethanconner1]

and now i want a pepsi

[JennyCriag]

I did this in Science Class. lol

[DeadEyeMan452]

so stupid

[joethecrab1]

ummm this is obvious... what other possible reason would there be...? density determines the force of buoyancy

[camondrums]

@joethecrab1 buoyant force*

[TheBusterbasher]

@joethecrab1 -______________________-

[LifeinMiracle]

I've learned something today :D

[CathrnxD]

i did thiz in skool T_T

[Jk6jack1]

i put my coke on top of my diet coke and they both sunk

[justchill919]

@Jk6jack1 now that is what i call science

[georgef551]

When I saw "Pepsi Challenge Explained", I thought you were going to talk about the Pepsi -vs- Coke Challenge. We know the Coke is let to go flat, and kept at room temprature, while Pepsi stayed cold, and carbonated.

Instead, it was which floats. I knew that one anyway.

[einarknutsen]

I LOVE THE BEAT  WHATS THE NAME OF IT!?

[zdgsg43]

Before he put em in the water i thought that it was C but my sister said it will be B

[Wafflehunter321]

21 people chose A

[Phreestem]

That was easy. That's how I answer all my assessments...

1.C

2.C

3.C

4.C

5.C

6.C

Lmfao

[ASH18YEARS]

Well duhh that one's on a diet...

[Nancy8805]

diet uses a small amount of aspartame for sweetening, so the liquid (uncarbonated) is roughly the same density as water. the carbonation makes it float

the sugar in the regular makes it more dense than water

[lorddoom313]

c i knw its c cuz its diet and it floats from the ingredients in it it aint tht hard to belive

[Darrin1997]

the Answer is, The Regular has a high density Cause of the sugar that is contains, unlike the diet.

[MudScarf]

So. Why exactly does this happen?

[kittykittykat12]

@MudScarf Sugar is all the difference. ;D

[awesomelegofan2]

we did this in science =D

[jsiff93624]

2 years ago in 6th grade we did a science experiment with this

[pussiecyatdoll]

science!

[jambabro123]

oh i learned that about a week ago in my science class. lol

[BlazingC00L]

hold 2 hes making music :D

[rafiki67]

sooo the answer is (A).......lol

[douchebagandpie]

wierd, regular coco cola and diet coke will both float :)

[ToiletPaperLol]

@SuNxMetin2 hmmm, that was kinda funny..

[draconpost]

CocaCola Zero can is heavier than any other can - I mean only the can without the coke. Check it out, dunno why but it is.

[TitanicMasta]

so if i pour diet Pepsi in water and give it time, the pepsi will sit on top of the water?

[duckyduck09]

it is all the dang sugar in the regular...........it will work with any brand they did this at a health fair at my son's school with coke. tapping the cans doesn't change anythig because it has to do with sugar content not carbanation.

[EpicButtSecks]

pepsi is Evil!

[Lukaz1989]

so its quite literally a light coke

[SmellsLikeUpDawgg]

@Lukaz1989 It's a fucking Pepsi you stupid shit!

[WonderBread006]

@Lukaz1989

do a taste test, Coke is practically a watered down Pepsi.

[Divinized]

@WonderBread006

and some people think pepsi is too strong so that's just about perfect

[Rockwarrior2004]

@WonderBread006 Coke was introduced in 1886, 12 years before Pepsi was introduced to us. So in the end, it is FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE for Coke to be a watered down version of Pepsi.

[WonderBread006]

@Rockwarrior2004

Coke ingredients = Pepsi mixed with water

[Rockwarrior2004]

@WonderBread006

so tell me. How did Coke-cola get the Pepsi recipe 12 years before it was made?

[mcraregreat234543]

@Lukaz1989 Yes that is where the term comes from, because pepsi use a sweetener for diet pepsi which doesn't add much density this allows the can to float.

[ceejayen]

can i try pepsi ?xD

[CanadiansKicksAss123]

ya i voted c :)

[rjschool]

I wanna punch all these stupid kids that are putting these stupid definitions like really shut up!

[datalexkid]

Diet Coke Gives you WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­INGS!

[zman42598]

1 floats 1 sinks did this in 6th grade science class but with coke not pepsi its because the diet has less sugar and less everything and for some reason floats i forget why exactly

[IVIoI3iuS]

It's because of the aspartame.

Aspartame is many times more sweet than HFCS or sugar, so much less is used. As a result, the density of the mixture (considering the carbonated water makes much of the can empty) is less than water, so it floats.

[Fuzion15css]

@IVIoI3iuS im actually LMAO'd out coz so many people are fascinated because they dont know the real explanation :P but u put them all in thier place!

[greeenpro2009]

Interesting. That's like here in the U.S. they have light versions of beers (not diet). Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers.

[themassau]

@greeenpro2009 you mean lighter in alcohol or real light beer whit less suger or so

[Oleander410]

@greeenpro2009

Yeah, it's not really like that at all. Cheers.

[daniel355273]

here in sweden they call it pepsi/coke light, because of this :)

[Deltabeam]

Nice cans.

[darkspawner6]

maby thats y they call it diet :D

[bratzgirlhannah]

c duh because of the less sugar in the diet the regular skins ;)

[1JulietaBelen]

YO VOY AL GRANO:

la pepsi diet no tiene azucar y baja la densidad, pero la normal tiene azucar y su densidad es mas alta (que la del agua) por eso se unde

[1JulietaBelen]

dish, lo unico que pasa es que la diet (o light)  tiene poca azucar y ace que su densidad sea mas baja.

[KitterbugLove]

However, it should be pointed out that, despite the introductory picture for this quick note, Coke does not sink while Diet Coke floats. If you push both cans down, they will both sink to the bottom of the water, but they will both rise back to the top. Still, the Diet Coke is far more quick to rise than the Coke, indicating it is more buoyant than the Coca Cola with sugar.

[KitterbugLove]

The quick explanation is that Coke is denser than water, whereas Diet Coke is less dense than water. Simple, but not a satisfying explanation. What is satisfying is remembering that artificial sweeteners are far sweeter per gram than sugar, or even corn syrup, is. This means that a small percentage of weight will be the solid particles of the sweetener dissolved in the liquid when compared with sugar, so the diet soda is less dense.

[MrKaindog]

diet soda uses aspertain which is less than sugar and aspertain is sweeter.

the aspertain makes less space allowing for more air allowingng it to float!

[Bust3rcopdud3]

it depends on whether or not they are both full, 1 full 1 empty, or both empty. a) if they are both full, b) if they are both empty or c) if 1 full of 1 empty.

[Bellew2k7]

@Bust3rcopdud3

fail

[Awokenify]

This is why I don't drink diet sodas...

The reason it floats isn't because it's LESS sugar, but because the sugar that's inn it is about 600 times sweeter than regular sugar, so they only add 1/600th part compared to regular soda. Hence the low density. But, I'm not going to give my body a sugar that is 600 times sweeter than regular sugar...

[zakster2222]

@Awokenify "The reason it floats isn't because it's LESS sugar, but because the sugar that's inn it is about 600 times sweeter than regular sugar, so they only add 1/600th part compared to regular soda." Sorry, I really don't like arguing. But you must not get what your typing. By adding 1/600th part compared to regular soda, would mean less sugar. So your first statement should not be there. For you're not measuring the sugar level, you're measuring the sweetness of the sugar. Difference.

[cobaltblade12]

pepsi contains SUGAR, and the diet coke DOESNT! that makes the difference.

[erictesch]

Maybe there is more air in the diet can... whoa!

[417theguy1]

motain dew sinks 2

[baznian]

Don't watch its C

[VivaPinata0407]

The diet floats because of the less added sugars like it the regular, the regular, however, sinks because of so many flavorings and such.

[TheBlacktearsicry]

i dont think people want to sit on the comper all day watching videos about sinking and floating canz.... you need a hobbie

[Devinkills1]

we did this last year in 8th grade for our science class ! excapet he warpped them in foil so we didn't know

[screamomusic4life1]

omgwtfsubbed

[MessiahComing]

Hahaha! Coke float biotch!

[abdallahpr2]

Im the 110.000 viewer,You better thank me >:(

[FinMetalhead13]

you.. are.. good.. on doing these optical illusions and otger stuff :)

[lanakid1]

Aspartame, is the artificial sweetener used in diet soda products. Where sugar (more often high fructose corn syrup) is the sweetener in regular soda products. Aspartame is much sweeter than regular syrup. Therefore, less aspartame is used in diet products than sugar in regular products, rendering it, as many people have said, less dense than water. Obviously the regular is more dense then water.

I am pretty sure this is the main reason the diet floats and regular sinks.

[moneyguy210]

i think this is cuz it has less calories than pepsi

[UnknownEstate]

We just learned this is Science. The Diet is less dense than water.

[TheANiMeCrAzY21]

i think i saw this on 9 news or something like that

[MrAstor112]

so which is healthier?

[Robolawrence23]

yay i win! i said c!

[mata123321]

so thaaaaaat's why i puke when i'm drinkin diet soda :)

[TheNewcomer1st]

I think,you were like brusspup,he makes illusion like you,but he made more.

[CHRISTMASBASTARD]

Why do I find this so interesting? 

[TheMikesta118]

What was the point of this.

Plz dnt respond

[christo930]

Is all the sugar in the pepsi what is making it dense enough to sink? Does the dissolved co2 make a contribution?

[ptnfstr]

it is now proven that there are more flavors with less calories

[1616starbuck]

too bad there's a hole in the diet pepsi can. pause at :08

[TheNorthernDragon]

@1616starbuck Its a dent, though it does look like a hole. I've done this before... Its wierd, but true.

[ItsABigFatCat]

@1616starbuck man your stupid.

[aslek3110]

@1616starbuck pause at 0.07 and you see that the bottom is full

[Violationofart]

i did this project in 5th grade :D

[831678Anthony]

this happens because the pepsi zero has less sugar so it floats while regualar pepsi has more sugar makes its sink due to both of the carbonation

[mspeckmd7]

why? like why are they diffrent cause one has less sugar...? how???

[shrivaat]

cold drink are like toliet flush water...

[themrcheezburger]

so.... we should drink normal coke cause we get more out-of it? :P

[WLakeKid]

black magic!

[ChieftainSean]

You're a witch!!!

[seriousthatguy]

Aspertame.

[wolfofhope]

it donesent have notihng in it simpleton

[imrepeto]

@wolfofhope

It would totaly floating if it were empty.

[corybass16]

im gonna try this...i hope it works

[imrepeto]

@corybass16

Have You tried it???

[55SamJ]

its cos of the sugar in the full-sugar drink. the lack of sugar in the diet, non-sugar drink allowsa it 2 float

[tmweb95]

so what your saying is when i stock up my boat with a years worth of soda and chill in the middle of nowhere i want diet incase it sinks so i can potentialy recover it all?

[ROCKASOKA]

whats the background music to this?!?!!?!?

[Johnnythedummy]

didnt know about this and picked C so i was right =D

[dmpeter10]

i knew it!!!

[Just2Comment789]

next trick how to make pepsi dissapear. *GLUG GLUG GLUG*  tada!
