Diet Coke & Mentos in super-slow-motion (1200fps)

[MadOverlord]

Google "diet coke and mentos coffey" to find the links to the AJP paper by Tonya Coffey.

[MadOverlord]

@ValerieRollins: Since the CO2 is in solution -- not chemically bound -- the mechanism you propose is that the solubility is changing, either by a chemical reaction or (more likely) the mixture of the Mentos with the Cola ingredients.

Have you tried repressurizing the soda and then dropping some more Mentos back into it?

Published research in AJP disagrees with you, btw

[Gonzalomv]

Really i dont care about chemical reactions and that... but i cant beleavie how, can 20, not 1 or 2, twenty people colud rate this video as bad, really i cant understand that.This video is amazing

[grb345]

reminds me of when i jizz.. idk why...

[Raegan607]

Very cool why does it do that

[SamuelSlowMotionTV]

no comments for a month what????

[Sonicx5698]

This should be a Diet Coke Ad

[MadOverlord]

@Sonicx5698 Except for the fact that doing this ruins the taste, sure. Unless you go for the "Diet Coke -- oh, it also tastes good" angle.

[ZoeDunlap011]

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! EVERY BODY IS USING BIG WORD THAT I CANT UNDERSTAND!!!!!!!

[sgrdpdrsn]

I recommend this diving video from Norway - Using a Casio Exilim in a "plastic bag": Diving in Norway - Flekkerøy

[MrTheLucas5]

good music.



[thodoris789]

can you tell me how to do the slow mo please

[SamuelsCamera]

@thodoris789 @thodoris789 you need a camera that can film at a high fps, the casio exilm brand is good for this, if you dont know what fps is, it stands for frames per second, a frame is like a picture, to create video, the camera takes a bunch of pictures all in a row, when played fast it creates a moving image, standerd footage is recorded at 30 fps.if you up the fps to say 300 it takes 300 picture each second Then if you play it at 30fps it appears to be slower than normal. more fps = slower.

[boycharger1]

can it be any type of mentos or just mint flavored?

[TheBlueCheeseFilms]

what the name of that song?

[cpjackson79]

And I thought the music was by Johann Strauss.

[SFaelr]

2:05 looks a alien

[NA734]

The second one is just... er... explosive? Hahaha great filming man!

[FuckinFirstRecon]

Looks like someone pissing.

[laurenhmfc]

haha love this

[DarkNight12334]

this looks retarded really retarded

[chaos850]

The first three were amazing. Beautiful, even.

The fourth one was just pathetic.

[minimike981]

Who ever put cool is wrong it's frikin boring

[SuperLegoman54]

COOL

[WILDCATX117]

3:03 starts to look cool =]

[15roei]

WOW

[Facumetal7]

BUENISIMO

[saharm10]

thats a waste of Pure Coke

[lisa2009]

2:06 there is a figure of a man in #3, by the way awesome video

[MadOverlord]

Nobody has died from Diet Coke & Mentos. It is not a chemical reaction, but a physical one. The Mentos provide billions of nucleation sites on their surfaces that permit the rapid formation of the bubbles - what would happen over a period of hours (the soda going flat) instead happens in seconds.

[pyrotech38]

@MadOverlord The mythbusters have show than that is a chemical and physical reaction ... Physical by the nucleation and chemical because of the aspartam, potassium benzoate, and cafeine contain in Coke and by the " gomme arabique " contain in the mentos ...

Google is your friend ;-)

[MadOverlord]

@pyrotech38 IIRC the reason the formulation of the soda matters is that the various components affect the surface tension and thus the bubble formation/growth rate, not that they have a chemical effect. But it's been a while since I saw the show and did my own experiments. The major culprit is the aspartame; compare tonic water and diet tonic water and you'll see.

[pyrotech38]

@MadOverlord I haven't understood all what you said cause i'm french =S

[DarkNight12334]

@pyrotech38 over lord no affense but this video is stupid idiotic waste of coke and really boring

[ValerieRollins]

@MadOverlord, I teach high school physical science and use the mentos/coke example in my classroom. The fact that you see fizzing (release of carbon dioxide gas), resulting in the flat-tasting soda, is a direct result of the chemical reaction b/t the mentos & soda. If this were a physical reaction, you would be able to "put the soda back together", so to speak. The only way to "unflatten" the soda would be to chemically add carbon dioxide back to it. So, no, this is not a physical change.

[BenMcCormack91]

@MadOverlord a. I, personally, have actually died twice from Diet-Coke-and-Mentos-related events.

b. I approve of your music choice. You have officially earned the reputation, in my mind, as the Stanley Kubrick of 1200-frame-per-second Diet-Coke-and-Mentos videos.

[iceflame5]

It's sad to think people have died like this. I'm also curious as to what the chemical reaction is...something involving carbonic acid maybe? I don't know.

[jaw1024]

that's what happens when you use DIET coke

[SweetSoundOfGrace]

this is art. period.

to me it is delightful to see all the aspartame going where it belongs: on the street.

[Casowsky]

Lol fail at filling #3

[refeniz]

only one actually went into the third one, but it seems to have the biggest reaction?

[AnimEigo]

They were all about the same, if memory serves, except #3, where I used salt.

[TheFJ247Show]

Look at the tube at 2:20 on scene 2

[tripleh1911]

looks yummy

[XeanFury]

Is the casio is Full-Hd 1080p?

reply to me

[JarrettDupie]

LOL-2:46 on the second 1 looks like a nob wen u pause it hahaha!!:D WICKED VID!!

[cocofroshie]

if i was there i would be in paradise

[mlibe22911]

3rd one had the coolest ending hah

[SpitsBeaTz]

That's beautiful.

[asylumbandnz]

real good

[PedroLop98]

what a waset of soda

[quekazoo]

@PedroLop98, its only diet coke, no one likes diet coke.

[BonjourNatalie]

this was totally awesome :)

[pie2theface]

#1 the best

[Haelstrome]

Yeah, the one on the right won't work nearly as well because the reaction actually has to do with the texture of the Mentos, and crushing them into a fine powder takes away the majority of the reaction.

[ErichoTTA]

Gorgeous.

[MadOverlord]

I used a Casio Exilim EX-F1 camera, which can record video at 300, 600 or 1200 frames per second (I used 1200fps in this video)

[pyrotech38]

@MadOverlord Does Casio exilim ex-fc1 and Casio exilim ex-fc-1 is the same ?

[d0m0natrix]

may i ask what software you used for the super slowmo

[videogamer005]

epic

[Leidmylla]

Whats the name song?

[ac0lite]

Blue Danube by Strauss

[SuperYlle]

2:45 the coke next to the left looks like an dildo! haha

[Legoking45]

HAHAHA! XD dude you're right omfg XD

[millsiafo]

gay

[pyrobomb101]

the one on the far right it crushed mentos right?

[NFS12309]

man on a horse at 2:07

[twinkletoes2772]

this is really slow

[bullstriker1992]

just LOL

[XshadowXshorandyX]

iemand naast mij loopt scheten te laten

[KarasuNoGoh]

Man... I wish we could have filmed Bruce Lee on Super Slow Motion.

[mangafreak146]

Pause at 2:06 and look at the third one, you can see a man.

[kellykwongg]

OMG REALLY

[guitarshredder4lyfe]

wow i c it its kinda creepy..

[DrunkenGekko]

Slow-mo cameras...

Porn industry needs those.

[twilight1138]

I think you meant "music by Johann Strauss".

[AnimEigo]

Everyone knows that the Blue Danube is by Strauss. I was crediting the company that produced the particular performance.

On other videos I've done where the music is less familar I've tended to mention what it is, though.

[retardsinactoin]

at 2:48 the 2nd one like like a penis

[niitnust]

lol.... hahahahahahaha....

[ivan123456789101112]

haha i thought i was the only one to notice that lol..it really looks like one xD

[retardsinactoin]

2:35 is crazy theres a ring around it

[crazykrazyqrazy]

fuckin awesome, 4real...

[nopnop08]

i do not know why i find this so funny...but i do... and im in fucking love. God bless super slow motion. IM pretty sure it just became my religion. :P

[SlaveZero1234]

3:06,

[AmiKawashima2]

awesome!

[lucidiquedreams]

penis?

[victorilubiano]

i know right

[longjohnsilvero9]

2:47, 2nd bar from left

[LoveKingArthur]

BAHAHAH what the fuck

[DTFILIPINO]

LOL. wwas that what i think it was

[swishhes]

that is so cool:D

[CaptianStiffy]

omg i came just watching this

[PaintballXIsXLife]

i liked 2:12 the best (cam 3)

[trains8000]

First: hand dropping mentos in bottle

Second: mentos falling through tube into bottle

Third: same thing but tube goes up (luckily one or two mentos fall inside)

Fourth: salt fall in bottle, not very effective

[naruto994400]

3:10 is awesome.

[newcomer9747]

can't see shit

[chantallylace]

ahaha, it almost looks like a lava lamp! sweet job!

[flameboy36]

this is would be a nice screen saver for my computer..

[Elmasterjudio]

nice shiiit hoomie

[ozoneman4]

Almost made me cry... sniff... art in Motion !

[michu070]

mythbusters explain why this happens if anyone wants to find out, they should watch it

[talktoyourself]

dude, you definitely need a girl getting drenched in this. That'd would just make the vid incredible.

[MadOverlord]

I asked my wife if she'd be interested in this role, but for some reason she got very offended by the suggestion.

So I guess if you want to see this, you'll have to find a girl on your own.

[talktoyourself]

hahahahah!!! That's hilarious, I just kidding tho. haha Hope she wasn't too mad.

[MadOverlord]

Well, actually, I should have been more clear.

She had no problems with me filming it. She just said she'd do extremely unpleasant things to me if I posted it online.

[Ghostfeathers]

BRILLIANT!

[ChuckHitler]

that was SO AWESOME!!!!!!!

i wish life (except humans) was slo-mow!

atleast some moments, like this, lol

[haynanitabarts]

bravo!!!!! bravo!!!!!!!

[jesskkapoo]

this is super cool

[dangerardo80]

ABSOFUCKINGLUTLY!! GENIUS!!

[l4st3gg]

pause at 2:06 a man is formed in the third picture.

[totalmushiness]

your rite

[TheRealmsOfGold]

Great music, but I can't believe you didn't credit Strauss, who wrote it in the first place.

And great footage, of course.

[iSkate2DayFilms]

You must of had a lot of light out there. I have the small brother of this camera ( Casio EX-FH20 ) and when doing slow-motion it basically lives on light. Sick video though!

[MadOverlord]

It was done in bright sunlight. Probably the big lens on the EX-F1 also helps.

[Drayzull]

Awesome video, also the music is a nice addition

[greblac]

no wonder. I mean Coke is the most discusting chemical man invented. Please be careful this video could be rated as a terrorist instruction video. Who knows maybe just be adding a few household chemicals and the arabs dont need bombbelts anymore. They just have to bring a coke and a freshmaker and get on the bus - amazing. I never drink Coke its the most discusting beverage ever

[Kukkii1337]

Aaah a terrorist made my clothes somewhat sticky and covered in diet coke I'm getting my ass kicked by soft drinks

Kidding but that would be the best prank ever thanks :D (only joking I'd probably get arrested for impersonating a terrorist)

[skootfairy]

Monsanto's Roundup.

[TheMemorius]

absolutely cool

[ashitaiyono]

Wow. That was actually pretty cool to watch.

[TwisterX5]

that rocks!!

[TwisterX5]

that slow mo is slower than my internet!!

[cornish11]

so well made

[arealcrew]

Dude this is so slow its like trippy as hell

[tigrepants]

Great choice of music

[mehdimaroc888]

just beautiful !!!! good job

[ninjainapocket2]

hi that was awesome how high did that go !!!!!!

[Ode2thedamned]

What did you put in the fourth bottle?

[MadOverlord]

Salt...

[djdejan72]

mushroom cloud at 2:47 :D

[wmialil]

hahahahahah man that was seriously fantastic

you made my day

[hal02modder]

what video editing software did you use? thanks, and great video

[MadOverlord]

Final Cut Pro on a Mac. Makes it easy to do things like rotate the video and sync the various clips.

[hal02modder]

damn. almost makes me wish i had a mac.

[meehli200]

WOW

[nintendoplaya878]

It's beautiful. . .

[pennyshill]

shutup prince of pekker. of course 1200fps exists. your watching it

[PRINCEofPECICA]

1200fps?LOL!I heared only of 120 and not bigger...but 1200 ?LOL!!doesnt exist

[ELKRAKEN07]

shut up

[tardisomga]

BUTIFUL i know i spelt it wonrg

[extremeduudson]

what a waste of coke, in a good way!

[myM8doteu]

amazing. really

[gspahr]

You, sir, are a genius. You made 3 very enojoyable minutes.

[afreshturd]

cool

[lorddrevis]

OUTSTANDING!!!

[POEDrummer]

you should repost these as separate vids, so that the watcher can focus on one at a time

[MadOverlord]

The vertical nature of the individual clips makes this awkward. You could just use a couple of post-it notes to mask off the unwanted parts!

[POEDrummer]

lol, k ill try that next time!!

[kalleankahello]

wow this video makes me so happy! i don't know why though...:D

[dzudzamadza]

naah, perverted kid ;x

[leebaylis]

So do u need mentos and diet coke for this to work???

[TashCartman]

Awesome video, nice filming work!

[Boing5Boing]

haha i lik this one :D

we did this in 7th grade and it was really cool! :D

umm well all for now cmnt back -_-;;

[iSkate2DayFilms]

what program did you use to put the videos together?

[MadOverlord]

I edited everything together on my Mac using Final Cut Pro

[iSkate2DayFilms]

sweet

hows the camera?

[MadOverlord]

It's very nice. Decent mid-level camera, high-def camcorder and the high-speed, all in one.

[Stustar91]

that was epic

[heybubbawannagoagain]

wow cool!!!

[fcpictures]

pure art. the true definition of beuty. BRAVO!

[ltbutterscotch]

how long did it take you to grind up all those mentos that you put in that little can?

[Macka007]

'twas salt in the last test (far right)

[mylifeisablur]

genius

[joezilla29]

I salute you sir.

[boredawesome]

must have taken up your whole hard drive :p

[MadOverlord]

Nope, only a few hundred megabytes for the original source files.

[1GuitarProductions1]

that is nice:) how much was the camera?

[MadOverlord]

It goes for about $1k

[devilguitarproductio]

allright,i have no idea how much that is..is it like 1000$?

[MadOverlord]

1k = $1000

[weetnietgeen]

lol!! when number 3 fell down it looked like pastry dough =P

[antonbernad]

lol, in 2:46 the secound picture look like a penis xD

[imagos123]

buhahaha u right :D

[autopsiemorga]

name of camera pls :)

[MadOverlord]

It is in the description. The Casio Exilim EX-F1

[autopsiemorga]

thanks :)

[danny702x]

lmfao!! 2 46 xD

[kwelder]

looks like sperm(the colour obviously not), someone should do that record sperm in super slo mo
