Diet-coke-and-mentosI know, I know - it's sooo lame to link to Internet videos, blah blah, but seriously I only link to the ones that make me go WOW... This one certainly got me to play it more than just once.

The Extreme Diet Coke & Mentos Experiments:

What happens when you combine 200 liters of Diet Coke and over 500 Mentos mints? It's amazing and completely insane.

This has to be one of the better orchestrated Intarweb videos I have seen in awhile. Two guys take 200 bottles of Diet Coke, drop a bunch of mentos in the bottles, and end up with a terrific - albeit kinda messy - display. It does cause one to wonder, though:

If I eat Mentos and drink Diet Coke will I blow up????

Watch it here. Some of the earlier tests are also viewable online. Heh.

I'm conflicted, sure that was cool, but what a waste of perfectly good cola.

How many mentos did you use for each 2-liter bottle?
What was that tube over the opening of the coke?
My friend and I are doing an expierment "Why do mentos make coke blow up?" and we're testing it in several different ways for our school science fair. Will you be able to provide my friend and I with two eepy bird t-shirts for free? (We will advertise eepy bird at our booth)

Please e-mail me back a.s.a.p.

i have a couple of questions for you guys. my name is brady baker and i am 16 years old and i live in alaska. my first question is one of my best friends played a prank on me and i want to get him back but i dont know how. if he doesnt know what would happen should i buy him a diet coke and mentos to eat afterwards? or is it to dangerous? what would most likely happen? my last question is if i put 12 mentos(is it even possible to get them in there that fast before blowing your fingers) off in a can not a bottle of diet coke but a little aluminum can of coke would the can explode majorly or would it just fly in the air? oh and before i forget....... can this kill you? do u think it would be a quick and painless death or a nightmare to remember? well thanks alot.

sincerely,
