  1. Clean the Eggshells: Start by thoroughly rinsing the eggshells to remove any egg white residue. It’s essential to use clean shells to avoid any unwanted smells or bacterial growth.
  2. Dry and Crush the Eggshells: After cleaning, let the eggshells dry completely. Once dry, crush them into a fine powder. You can use a mortar and pestle or a coffee grinder for this step.
  3. Mix with Coca-Cola: Pour one can of Coca-Cola into a glass and stir in the powdered eggshells. Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes. The eggshells will partially dissolve, creating a fizzy, chalky solution.

Why Try This Mix?

  • Rich in Calcium: Eggshells are primarily made up of calcium carbonate, a compound that can help replenish calcium in the body. When mixed with the acidic nature of Coca-Cola, the calcium becomes more available for absorption.
  • Fun Science Experiment: The reaction between the acidic Coca-Cola and the alkaline eggshell powder creates a mild fizzing effect, which can be fun to observe. It’s a simple kitchen science experiment that showcases a chemical reaction.
