Diet Coke and Mentos: The Failed Experiment

My nephew Nicholas and I were looking for something to do Friday Afternoon and decided to attempt the Mentos & Diet Coke experiment. You know, the one where you dump a bunch of Mentos in a 2 liter Diet Coke and it creates a “Coke Geyser”.

Well, needless to say, we failed. We tried twice with Diet Coke and once with Diet Sprite… I think our delivery method for the Mentos is what was holding us back… we will need to try again.

Below is record of our failure… along with a little dancing from Nathan.
