ELI5:Why does soda/carbonated drinks fizz so much when fresh ice is added to the drink?
gpt
The surface of the ice is rough and has many imperfections, this creates nucleation site for bubbles to form causing many to form. Fun fact, Mentos being dropped in soda is not actually a chemical reaction. It is caused by the rough surface of the Mentos having many nucleation sites. The same thing happens when you add ice only to a lesser extent.
