AI Video Of Man Launched Into Sky After Coke-Mentos Explosion Goes Viral

An AI-generated video showing a bizarre scene involving a Coca-Cola truck, a Mentos truck and a man being launched into the sky has gone viral on social media. The video shows a Coca-Cola truck leaking a large amount of the drink onto the road. A Mentos truck is parked nearby, while a man approaches with a large jar and starts collecting the spilled Coca-Cola.

The video then takes a bizarre turn when the man opens the Mentos truck and removes crates of the candy. As the Mentos appear to come into contact with the Coke, a huge cloud of smoke and foam suddenly erupts. The force of the reaction then sends the man flying high into the air.

Users on social media have also pointed out a detail that shows the video is AI-generated. The Mentos crates is labelled "mentes" instead of "Mentos", which users have highlighted as a sign that the footage was created using AI.
