Amazing Pepsi Challenge

If you drop 2 unopened cans of cola (1 diet and 1 regular) in a pool, will they both sink or both float? The answer may surprise you.

How much do they each weigh?

[greeenpro2009]

@jacksawild it doesn't matter...I think the regular wieghs slightly more, but it's ALL about the density. Anything that has a density that is less than the density of water will float in water.

I was right. =D

[greeenpro2009]

Good job!

[fasantupp]

You don't drink sodas because they float?

[brandthedog]

The answer is always C.

ha got it right! =] only cuz ive accidentally lost a few cans of regualr pop in a lake before :/

[987djhj]

this does this because the reg. pepsi can has more sugar and the diet pepsi has less that makes the reg. pepsi more dense than the diet

[jacksawild]

@greeenpro2009 Respectfully, given they have an equal volume I would say the weight (or mass) does matter. I am interested because we don't have those kinds of pepsi here.

Well now i know, if im stuck on a desert island with 1 crate of diet pepsi and 1 crate of regulare pepsi, not to make my raft out of the regular. you may have just saved my life. well done.

[spicychicken824]

Nice but i prefer dr. pepper

[futureKJN]

yeah course the diet will float the other one has like 40 grams of sugar changing the density

[The100monkey]

my teacher did this at school

[blodyrage676]
