Amazing experiment - Diet Coke and Mentos. You have to try it !
Was reading in paper today about the amazing reaction you get if you put several Mentos into a 2 litre bottle of Diet Coke at the same time. Apparently you can get a coke fountain up to 5 metres high.
Didn't believe it till I checked on Youtube and saw all the videos of people doing it.
Check them out - guarantee you will give it a go. I am going to
Here's a sample video of what you can expect

As for all this science gobuldygoup we just used to get a cheap 2ltr bottle of coke or something for about 10p and after shaking it up for ages stot it off the floor/drop it off a tall building, roll it under a lorry...
Sad bastards that we were we got about 2 pounds worth once... :P
Re: Amazing experiment - Diet Coke and Mentos. You have to try it !
ah just watched the videos... so so... considering they put mentos in it... means the bottle looses all teh fizz though so it wasn't really much better than when we'd shake them up/drag them along fences/play foot ball with the bottle for ages first....
Good thing about dirty cheap pop is that its full of air so you don't get as much drink as you'd think
edit: ^that by itself sounds stupid... more compressed air = more pressure.

There is another amazing experiment which is similar to this one, but has even better results.
What you do is mix ammonium fertiliser with another nitrate-based compound.
Then insert a detonator and a timing device ... hey presto.
I was reading in the paper today about the amazing reaction you get from this, apparantly it is all the rage in some middle-eastern countries, although it seems to be catching on in London and New York and places like that now.
Trendy young people are even accessorising this by combining the chemicals in a specially made 'belt' or waistcoat rather than the more traditional rucksacks.
There is aTV programme where you can see the amazing results of this - News at 10, I think it's called.

So then I picked it up and I swear to god I felt the bottle was going to explode in my hand. It was a lot. SO then I slammed loosened the cap a little bit and slammed it. The thing shot 10 feet straight in the air then turned and shot sideways through the air and came back down. It went on forever though. Damn if it wouldn't have turned we would have been set but the coke bottle turned. I got a shitload of soda on a brand new set of clothes though so that pissed me off.

Eh, damn late night typing. I meant to say 7-11 bag. 7-11 is a conveniance store and we just used one of the plastic bags that they give you. It worked.

You laugh at my stupidity. I know I would. And I swear that thing can explode if you just let it sit because I could here the plastic being stretched out, it was growing in my hands.
