Coca-Cola + Mentos
« on: January 16, 2006, 01:50:40 PM »
I found it funny.

Drop several Mentos pills into a 2L plastic Coke bottle, and here we go...

http://www.livejournal.com/users/alex_inside/361250.html

A page is in Russian, but all you need to see are pictures.

That guy used a sheet of paper folded into a "pipe" to drop several pills as fast as possible.

I wonder why people still drink Coke...

Dry ice pellets in water with a closed 2 liter bottle with plain water is much more entertaining...

Saw this on the show Numb3rs.  I think I'll have to give it a try.

I used to make two liter bottles explode when I was a kid but did it a little differently.  They make quite a satisfying noise and jump pretty high too :)

I actually witnessed a 32 gallon steel garbage can (well, Tin, you know what I mean) explode, rip at the seam, and elevate 15 feet into the air when  co-worker had done this with one of those big XX liter bottles, a cup of water, and dry ice pellets. The bad news is...the garbage can was full of food since we'd just had a potluck.  Happend out on the loading dock, and it certainly had the fire dept out there within 5 minutes...funnier than hell watching this guy try to clean up food spread over a 100 sq. ft area as fast as he could.  He didn't lose his job, but he could have....he kept denying that he'd done it.  

Be very careful, those things are dangerous. The cap could put an eye out easily. :huh

As long as you don't eat the entire package in one gulp, I think you'll just burp alot. Just don't go deep-throating any mentos while inhaling a 2 liter of cola.

I had friends get hit with a felony possession of explosives for making 2 liter bottles go pop.... they were doing it shortly after Columbine, so they were made an example of.

Those things can be quite deadly, anything near it will be launched at roughly 500 mph, deadly projectile, whether is be a rock, bottle top, whatever....

Yeah, in todays world it's not such a good idea.  Things were different when I was a kid.  Plus we didn't live in town.

Try it in a neighborhood now days and you'll have the cops in your yard in minutes.

All I needed as a kid was, Drano, a small piece of tin foil and water.   Made a 3 foot dia. crater, 1 foot deep.
