That was just posted in another thread here like last week.  I'd post a link but I'm too lazy.

Mentos: the Fountain maker!

[ChadTower]

I would like to make a porno with that title.

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

[ChadTower]

Mikey from the Life cereal commercials died that way.

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.

[ChadTower]

Great, now I'm going to have to give my son some Pepsi and Mento.

[nostrebor]

Have your video camera handy.

[AtomSmasher]

Fun stuff.  I've seen that done before with a pack of lifesavers.

[c64rulez]

Try feed some to stingray after he had a coke, and shake

vigorously

Ever seen the poontos video?

[ChadTower]

Guess not.

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.

[DrewKaree]

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

[JackTucky]

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.

[Bones]

I work for Coca-Cola. I wonder what happens when you add 1000 Mentos to 100,000 times the amount of cola.

This is gunna be way cool.

[DrewKaree]

Was your wife pissed when she found out you did it inside the house?

Dude, if you DON'T give us video of that, I swear I'll catch the first plane I can afford to take over there and beat your ass! 

Either that, or just whinge about you being related to cats in some fashion

[Zakk]

Yeah, I want video too.  We can start a fund to buy the mentos.  Aaaand a fund to help you out in your inevitable unemployment. 

[DrewKaree]

Unemployment?  Dude, you're nuts.  I've got the perfect excuse for him.

"It was like that when I came in here"

[Zakk]

Don't talk about my nuts, that was the other thread! 

[missioncontrol]

no I got a better excuse:

when the boss comes up and ask what happened just reply back with "oh yea, well your an ---uvula---"

[JackTucky]

Be scared!  DrewKaree is a rich republican Christian.  He's probably there already!  He's probaby white too!  And he speaks ebonics!  Run, er, RIZZLE!

Erah...ahem. 

Rise with the rooster, joe be the booster

As you were.

[Zakk]

So what would happen if you drank a bottle of diet pop and ate 11 mentos?

Hey c64rulez, we got a final initiation for you.

[missioncontrol]

ways to be allowed to leave the office early........

1. have a mouth full of diet soda
2. pop in a mentos

make sure the boss or someone else of importance see's the action
