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.

Very funny - thanks for sending this link. Who are these guys? Why did they spend so much time and energy on these experiments? And where do they get so much Diet Coke? It is a true avant garde art piece.

That was brilliant. Like Blue Man, but Mentos and Diet Coke Man.

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

Reminds me of the time in 1996, during a semester off from college when I worked in tech support at an ISP, that we had way too many free AOL CDs and a spare microwave oven, so one at a time, we placed the CDs in the oven, cooked them for 3-5 seconds each, watched the CDs flare, and then tacked them on the wall in the server room as decorations.

OK, so maybe it's not the same as mad scientists playing with Mentos.
