I just did it (forgot to tape, sorry). It was teh pwnage.

Instructions:
- Get an amount of Diet Coke (Has to be diet for max efficiency). Usually 2 Liter bottles are fine.
- Get Lots of mentos (A single tube is enough, I do not know how the amount affects the spewage)
- Roll a peice of paper into a tube (Large enough around to have mentos slide, but small enough to fit on top of or inside a coke)
- Put the mentos in the tube and grab hold of the bottom mentos tablet through the paper (so it does not slide through)
- Put over diet coke bottle
- Let go of the mentos and pull the tube away after the last one has fallen
- Run for a good 3 meters

Ideas for more efficient spews:

- Warm diet coke rather than cold
- Blow the mentos into it, not let them fall.

Hahaha. I'll have to do that for New Years. I'll have a Diet Coke fountain in my driveway.

Warm coke would produce an even smaller fountain. Think about the physics of this. Soda has carbonation in it right? Carbonation is just gas trapped by water molecules. This forces to the air to stay inside the liquid and creates alot of surface tension. It takes alot of energy to break that surface tension... such as shaking the bottle up or dropping it. When the surface tension is broken it spews up. Well mentos has a chemical called arabic gum that makes it chewy. But it also breaks up the surface tension in the soda very fast, and makes it spew everywhere. If the soda was warm it would have no carbonation becuase it would have all already escaped.

Maybe if you shook it up a little then somehow stuck the mentos in before it splurted out. There wouldn't be any surface tension left!

Interesting but it doesn't last long.

So? It's hella cool.

Neither does secks, but that doesn't stop anyone. lol

ill be doing this now lol.

thats sick, what makes it do that?

Best. Post. Ever.

Bah, I'd be a lot happier with Coke in my fridge and mentos in my hand rather than having Coke on my front yard... BTW, that video sucked, the guy didn't know how to hold a camera.

It was the best 30 seconds of her life. hahaha

Does it HAVE to be diet?

No but if you use regular the sugar will make everything sticky.



Read my post -_-

Secks is sticky, but that doesn't stop anyone...

Secks is also better with a breath mint (instead of bad breath) and finalies with a big splurge! nething else? -_-

I think we should all stop refering mentos in diet coke to sex.

Stop getting off topic or I'll lock this... topic.

I thought that, since there was less surface tension in warm coke, that it would spurt more...

im not wasting money on diet coke
some1 go do a better tape

I just did it a few hours ago, and I have to say you should add all of them at once and make sure they can all slip in easily, cause only one went in and it wasn't that impressive.

I posted other videos (the first link). Can't find the original one that I discovered it by.
