This was a hoot! Thanks, clofthwld.
We tested this out in the parking lot....
1. Small 20 oz bottles pittered out pathetically. You need the half-liters.
2. A large paperclip pierced through the Mentos and then bent will hold them in place until ready to be dropped into the soda.
3. A small 1/4" hole drilled in the lid made the stream rise higher.
4. No discernable difference between coke/pepsi or diet variations of either.
5. Coke/Pepsi sales have got to be loving this Internet exposure.
I brought in Xanthar Gum (used for gluten-free cooking) which is supposedly the Menthos ingredient that reacts with the CO2 in the Coke. We made a big whoosh with that!
