I dropped a couple of caffeine tablets into a bottle of Coke. It soon began fizzing a lot, sort of like the Mentos + Diet Coke cocktail only it did not explode (but it lasted way longer). Any explanation re: the chemical process behind this reaction? Thanks.

How does caffeine get metabolized in the body?

Once caffeine is ingested, what does it break down into? Is there a chemical reaction formula for it? And how does it pass through the body?
