got Diet Coke?

My son says this has been around for awhile, but it's the first I've seen of it. Diet Coke and Mentos video...Turn on your speakers and give a look-see.

OMG...that was hilarious...and so informative. I now know how the Bellagio in Las Vegas gets its beautiful outdoor fountain ballet to operate. Thanks! :~D

I used to love Mentos...maybe that's why I need those little purple pills now...if they can do that to diet coke, what were they doing to my stomach? That video was very entertaining.

Lynn said...

I wonder if they now put warning labels on Mentos..."Warning, Do not eat while drinking Diet Coke. There is a danger that you might explode" lol

Patti said...

Bee: drink water (after boiling of course)

Odat: all in the name of science

Lynn: I wouldn't try it

Hahaha it was like a fireworks finale at the end there!

I've seen this too -- and I've also seen stories that say this is (*ahem) overblown.

The effects are overblown, that is.

Haven't attempted to replicate the experiment myself, though.

Patti said...

Christy: yay fireworks!

Curmy, sir: overblown? oh well. Do not attempt.
