Diet Coke and Mentos stunt goes wrong

Try Alka Seltzer. Girls love it.

love that!

'chemical reaction' my jacksy. Just an effect caused by the gas escaping. Best way to do this one on a friend is to tie a polo mint to a piece of thread and open a bottle of fizzy drink and place the mint inside neck of bottle and close lid again with thread outside keeping mint inside bottle but not touching the liquid. give to friend, he opens bottle, mint falls in and woosh!

iam going to try this

i jumped there, trying to avoid it!! Phew... laughing at myself now.

Was there nothing better to do?

Typical skinhead beahaviour !!!

I am thinking about all those abroad who die because they have nothing to drink or eat, in the west we can play games with it.

why are people so upset about this? they didn't do it on a bus or in a shop or with other people about! it's a sad world we are living in when even something like this can pee people off !

Wow! Tremendous camera work. The bottle is in focus until it hits the camera. No camera shake as the bottle approaches; in fact, he's just beginning to track its flight when it hits him. Splendid self control by the cameraman. I really must try the Diet Coke and Mentos thing sometime.

Well I am not American but I don't get why people are saying this is bad. I did this with my niece a couple of years ago and she loved it. She even made her own cardboard Mentos loader lol... got 8 mints in the bottle. Didnt get the top on but got about a 20 foot high spray lol... took a video too. It's just good fun and can make kids interested in the science behind it!

@#$% i actually ducked when it flew towards the camera

Anyone else hate 30 second ads?

At last, something to laugh about.

... is it a warning .... not to eat mentos and drink coke at the same time ... especially after a kebab

Actually....looks like it went absolutely right - and better than the pair of hairies expected!

made me laugh

We were actually rolling round the office laughing, this is so funny. Thank you for posting it.

Like all good ideas they can go wrong
Perhaps NASA should have another look a t rocket fuel. That way may be cheaper
