Do you think Mentos + Diet Coke will unclog my drain?

I have a clogged sink in my bathroom. I have a theory that dropping a couple Mentos down there and chasing it with Diet Coke, and topping it with a stopper will chase the clog down.

(Plus I'm extremely bored! LOL.)

Do you think it will work?

Update:

I have used the plunger several times and have already gone through 2 bottles of drain cleaner. Still no luck.

    Don't know if it will work or not, it might just shoot out all kinds of disgusting drain goop into your face, which would be gross. For the drain however, buy a foaming pape snake. I don't know what brand it is, but it's called a foaming pipe snake. It's a single small bottle that you pour down the drain which reacts and expands into a caustic foam. It'll eat right through just about anything. I've had bad drain problems before and it's been the only thing that's worked. Plus it's only about 3 bucks a bottle.

    It'll make one heck of a mess. Try using a plunger on it instead.

    Probably not. You need something that will dissolve the clog, like lye (draino).
