    Hahahaha! That was great! A friend of mine showed me a similar video, but it wasn't near as elaborate as that!

    I can't get sound....

    what's the gist of it?
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    She chugs like a sissy!
    There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin

    I've done this before. Actually, it doesn't have to be Diet Coke-it just makes it easier to clean up.

    What causes this is the carbonation. The CO2 gas combines with the H2O. What you are seeing is the bonds between the two being broken, same thing happens when you shake the coke. Anyway, the arabic gum in the mentos easily breaks the surface tension and quickly breaks the bonds.

    Long story short, the more carbonation, the better.

    I just saw a fun little News brief on this and they stated that it was the additional surface area provided by the mento's that facilitated the accumulation of the bubbles. They even went as far as dropping rocks into the liter bottles which caused the same effect.

    Hmmm... Maybe, I am just going off of what I have read

    It made the news here, and apparently it's worth about $10,000,000 in ad costs for Mentos by this being all over the internet.
