Mentos In action

I saw this video on S'mee's blog yesterday. It shows a couple of guys dropping mentos into 2 litre bottles of Diet Coke, and then watching the chemical/physical reactions take place. We have really had a blast looking at it, and I thought I would share it here as well. My son wants to watch it 3-4 times a day now. It really has a way of cheering you up, and leaving you a little awestruck as well. Who knew that Diet Coke and Mentos could be so entertaining. So if you need to have a littlle fun, play this video.





Here is a link to the website of the guys responsible for the video: EepyBird.com.

Here is a report from NPR, where they interview Fritz Grobe and Stephen Voltz, -- the guys who did the videol

In a couple of weeks, we are having our annual ward father and sons camp out. I believe we'll practice shooting off a few Diet Cokes in the back yard between now and then. We can call it a science experiement for home school too. If we can do it successfully, I think we'll take a few to the camp out, and see if we can douse a few Mormon Crickets in the process. (We're going to camp in Skull Valley, near the ghost town of Iosepa.)
