I don't know if any of you saw the David Letterman or the Mythbusters where they did a whole thing about adding Mentos mint flavor chewy mints to a 2 liter bottle of Diet Coke. If you didn't let me explain it to you. Somehow, I forget why, but the chemicals in diet coke and mentos cause an explosion of sorts to erupt out of the 2 liter bottle when you add 2+ mentos to it.

So, the other day, my family and I decided to try it out.
We went to the store and bought 2 things of 2 liter diet coke and a couple packages of mentos.
Then, we put the 2 liter bottle in the center of our driveway and my dad dropped 3 mentos into it.
KABOOM! well, kind of. This diet coke fountain like shot into the air! Over half the bottle came out in a fountain lol. It was great.
If you're bored, I highly recommend this. It really is quite fun if you get it to work right :yes:

I totally saw that on Letterman. It was so great it changed my life. The only thing better than that was the Jar Barf Channel on Conan O'Brian

:laugh: That was great! There was this one, I think it was cranberry sauce, that was the worst. It looked like it was barfing bloody puke. :laugh:

Aw, I didn't see that episode of Myth Busters. :( Did they test what happens if you drink a bunch of Diet Coke and eat a couple of Mentos? :laugh:

What's a Mento? I have no idea, but I like explosions, they're so purdy.

Anyways, what is one? somebody help me with this. :blink:

That sounds like a misuse for science, it's like when I was in school and the teacher was saying you could explode small animals by feeding them undissolved effervescent tablets, I'm sure some kid went and did that.

I did see that Mythbusters, it was awesome! The day before that Mythbusters episode orginally aired, I was at a relative's house and my uncle and cousins were trying it out. It worked great! It looks really cool too.

I don't think I've seen them around, I'm sure I know them now, maybe I've had them when I was little, or never, I'm so confused. :(

*Slowly loading video*

Me wants to see them boom boom! :mellow:

*Slowly waits*

Oh my God! I think I have had them, when I was like... ten or something, I had so many of them, the minty ones, I'm sure of it. :blink:

*Still waits*

Less of the talk talk, just get on with the boom boom!

I hate slow dial-up. :mellow:

Oooh, they're going to blow up the diet version, that stuff sucks, destroy it all! :yay:

Do they have to take so long? we know what happens, I just want to see it happening! :angry:

This reminds me of a movie I saw, must find the quote...

*Looks for quote*

"Shut up, you American. You Americans, all you do is talk, and talk, and say "let me tell you something" and "I just wanna say." Well, you're dead now, so shut up."

:laugh:

It's loaded! :o

*Watches*

It took him a whole minute just to do that one little thing, why? ugh, well it looks cool anyway, even if he's annoyed me. :mellow:
