I'm surprised this hasn't revived the old Pop-Rocks urban legend for the 21st century -- eat 10 Mentos, chug a diet soda, and BOOM you explode

HAHA.... my son is doing his science fair project on this very thing.  It's cool, and works great with rootbeer too (but it's a waste of good rootbeer).


Oh, and I also decide to try the eat mentos and chug soda, well actually, I put soda in my mouth and tried  (yea, only tried) to put 3-4 mentos in my mouth.... It spew everywhere and out my nose too..... it was really funny, too bad the video camara was nowhere around....

I think that was in Purgatory, but I'm also too lazy to search.

I seen the Mythbusters do something along these lines using the gut of an animal. It didn't work.

But on a side note, I hear if you feed seagulls bicarb soda they explode mid air. Cool...

Uhh, yeah that works, but it's racist against seagulls.

BTW  I've heard, most people call them seagulls, but they are Sea Terns

But that's racist against Sea Terns.

Some variety of seagulls migrate to Oklahoma in the winter. There's a protected nest site in Tulsa. Those are called Least Terns, which I think is probably morally degrading to the seagull community.

You should see the In Terns that end up in Arkansas.

On the plus side, those Arkansas In Terns are getting their beaks fixed.  It just doesn't help that that's the fifth most important thing on the list to fix ;D

In Terns never got so much sex since mrcommunisto's hero Bill Clinton left office.

Back on topic:


Today my two sons and I launched the contents of two different Diet Coke bottles over 10 feet in the air with 13 Mentos a piece.

This is a really cool experiment.  Thanks for linkiing to it.
