Um, wow.

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.

The first part of this video demonstrates a simple geyser, and the second part shows just how extreme it can get. Over one hundred jets of soda fly into the air in less than three minutes.

It's a hysterical and spectacular mint-powered version of the Bellagio Fountains in Las Vegas, brought to you by the mad scientists at EepyBird.com.

That was sensational! I wonder how long they worked to choreograph it.

Reminded me of the kind of thing they do on http://www.cockeyed.com/body.html

I thought about that choreography. Some seriously intense work went into that, and they looked happy enough at the end that I could be convinced it was successfully shot in one take. They must have rehearsed that blocking very thoroughly, and I'm guessing someone was calling out cues for them. There were no back-scrambles or detectable "saves." Good work.
