Very cool Mento's/Diet Coke video!

From the guys at Eepybird...

It's completely cube-safe... although a large number of bottles of diet coke perished in the process

What's really cool is that apparently both Mentos and Diet Coke have signed on with this. If you recall, they both originally downplayed this experimentation stuff, claiming that it was beneath them. They've realized that it's a great marketing opportunity, and they're sponsoring a contest... create your own similar video!

Take a look. It's three minutes long, and enjoyable.

Took them long enough to catch on. [img]tongue.gif[/img] Who cares what the consumers do with your products if it makes them buy more of it?

Narf!

Does anyone here know how, exactly, that works.

Larry_OHF · 10-31-2006, 11:55 AM

I have no idea, but I've tried it with a bottle. One package of Mentos will spill out all but four inches of Coke from the bottom of the bottle.

Gotta love science...

that won't do anything to you. The soda will quickly get to the acid in your stomach.

I'd assume, however, that putting a mentos in your mouth and then taking a swig of diet coke would have some effect... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Bungleau · 10-31-2006, 07:57 PM

Hmmm... which should come first? the mentos or the diet coke?

Sir G, why don't you try it out (you physics experimentalist you) and let us know?
