Okay, I like to think I'm on top of things, but today I just heard about a fad that's pretty fun to do: adding Mentos to a bottle of Diet Coke. What happens? You get a frickin' diet geyser!Oh, you can go to Google Video and see about fifty someodd amateur vids, but the best videos I've seen so far are here:http://www.stevespanglerscienc...00109Yeah, the host is a little fruitty, but, you gotta admit that the "Perfect Mentos Eruption" is pretty good.

LOL I'm NOT showing that to my 13 year old boy.

Coke........................ $1.25Mentos..................... $0.99Lots of paper towels... $5.99The look on his face.. PRICELESS!!!!For everything else theres mastercard.

*INSERT EVIL LAUGH HERE*I wonder who I can get to fall for my plan!!!*INSERT EVIL LAUGH HERE*

Evil laugh is right! Isn't is wierd that Mentos just happen to be small enough to fit through the spout of a two-liter bottle...but big enough to have this kind of effect? The half of my gene's belonging to my father are trying to figure out how to make the bottle explode...

That's frikking awesome. I love it.I might try this at my mom's on Sunday for Easter dinner.(outside with the kids of course)I've never seen Mentos in a box though.

thats awesome!! isnt that sprite?

Note to self, NEVER eat a mentos within 45 minutes of drinking a diet coke, or vice versa

Mythbusters has spent almost an entire episode on this...was a riot. they set a new record for height: 34 feet!

this is a must try... its cheap and very easy to do.not to mention the kids think its great.

I love watching Myth Busters. They sure had a lot of fun with that one.

Recent posting to YouTube of what is supposed to be a Mentos & Diet Coke World Record on 15 September 2007, in Breda, Netherlands. 2 minutes and 18 seconds. Don't know about the world record, but lots of Mentos and Diet Coke sacrificed themselves for science that day!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzdpgb9lZ18
