david letterman had a segment on recently (i hate the show, by the way) where two guys put together like, a masive symphony of fountains doing this.
Went for about 10 minutes, they were running around everywhere pulling strings tied to tubes of mentos's, they had bottles on pinwheels, etc etc.
Some funky ideas.

even funnier is some prank video of a chick guzzling 2L of pepsi and then munching on a packet or two of mentos....trying to debunk the myth, she claims how nothing is happening....then a few seconds later she explodes.

lol I'll be doing my 10Lts of diet coke and 5 packs of mentos tonight hopefully, if not then maybe next week. I was gonna do it last nite but I've had a flu most of the week

so I'll let u's know how i go and how soaked i get

Jul 7 2006, 04:23 PM
make sure u get video footage AND photos...
i think for it to spurt high, u need to have a 'bottle-neck' hence the top of the coke bottle...
if ur only going to do it in a 10lt drum, then all its going to do is overflow... u need to have an upside down funnel or something like the top of the coke bottle...
the concept seems obvious, but maybe u forgot... haha

has anybody done it without the lid , if not i have an idea , if anybody hasnt tryed this before ,
put blutack or anything sticky in the lid [enough so it will fall soon after] and then basically stick mentos 1 by 1 on to each other coming down from the lid , close it then tap the lid so they all drop off into it =D. ?

Ha ha ha Tops!
I wonder what makes it react that way?
And i also wonder if the guy in the red shirt will ever get laid???
I used to love diet coke so much but my dad got a scary email the other week.
It said that one of the sweetening agents in diet coke leads to headaches and
miagrains and has been directly linked with brain tumors... so creepy.... i don't
know what to beleive any more....
i thought because it was diet that it was better for you....

im pretty sure skittles in beer does something similar or knocking the top of a bottle of beer with the bottom of another
but then the other night my beer just went nuts and started going everywhere all by itself...maybe it was my bad singing on singstar
