Mentos Explosion

Link to the site works, but I cannot get the ifilm player to work in Mozilla or IE.

I even turned of Norton and my pop up stopper like it suggested.

Nothing happens.

Did you get it to work?

Here's another link - directly from 9News.

but don't get

Jaws a packet of Polos works quite well. They arnt the same as Mentos but the sugar in the whole pack alone gives it a real boost. Anyone ever notice how a coke goes cold when you put a mint in it?

Thanks y2. I guess my kid and I will have some fun tomorrow! I'll get my mum to come over and clean up afterwards lol !

I've got to try this. Great experiment / presentation for science teachers too.

I'm just amazed at how little soda is left in the bottle after the reaction and how high the soda shoots up. I might have to try it with a lager and see what happens. If it doesn't then no big deal; I'll have a minty brew to enjoy. If it does work then I'll be out 1 tasty beverage, but have something exciting to talk about.

I'm not sure about a substitute, but you're bound to find something.

When you try the lager experiment, how about you suspend yourself upside down from the ceiling directly above the bottle, you should have a great time lol !

Wow that did look fun!

Do you think it would work with lager?

I don't have any cola though but I guess it would work with lemonade.

Dunno where I'd get the Mentos though, don't think I've ever seen them in shops round here. I wonder if there's anything I could use as a substitute?

Wouldn't it be a riot if you had a whole class of kids doing that in the science lab!
