[clewersonlima1]

adoro esse programa!

[MrCool259]

the coke and mentos vid helped me wif my lab report

[1Pantikian]

@MrCool259 great, now go study spelling

[eosvoboda]

My Diet Coke and Mentos volcano won't work. Any help? Thx :)

[levicste]

technically, if you coat a mentos with a layer of something, wouldn't it prevent whatever chemical reaction from happening as well? x___X (layer act as a barrier preventing contact between the 2 chemicals)

[superorigamiexpert]

aaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwws­ssssssssooooooooooommmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmm

[JohnKulo]

What does being in a photoshoot with FHM have to do with Coke+Mentos?

[longcat231]

@JohnKulo Who cares she is hot!!

[VideoGraphos]

@JohnKulo Kari Byron did a session for FHM showing the experiment... in lingerie.

[autumnfrontzak]

this really helped me with my chemistry lab report lol :D

[Willettes1]

So why does it happen when i put pixy stix in it >.>

[PhsycoMidget123]

@xxan1 do you really have that low self- esteem that you post derogatory comments on a serious video

[xann1]

swallow

[xann1]

why aren't my derogatory comments being posted

[xann1]

fuck you guys

[xann1]

ddddddddddddddddd

[LookMaNoBrains]

cant they just use this to propell cars and rockets into space? Both things cola + mentos are organic material right? i suppose they are renewable energy, right there.

[PreyingBeast]

First to use it as a weapon was Macgyver. Sadly it was used against Chuck Norris so nothing happen

[odiug95]

A guy in Brazil died because of this...

[COOTIEFREETEES]

i have been watching this show since day one. i even made a t-shirt in their honor.

[sasukeuchiha9724]

who would like to make that "boom, big explosion" on kari :D

[nategarga]

@sasukeuchiha9724 HUHUHUEHEUEHEUEHEUEHEUEHEUEHEU­EHEUEHUE

[dardhus]

@sasukeuchiha9724 kari means penis in a certain language

[sasukeuchiha9724]

@dardhus ahaha nice to know :)

[pikade12]

im gonna out some mentos in my paintball gun

[azcustomarch]

4 people missed the like button.

[shogrran]

try this..... drink about a couple of bottles of coke and THEN eat the mentos.

[shallowgravesk8films]

@shogrran i wonder if your stomach would explode?

[shogrran]

@shallowgravesk8films well mine didn't. But it felt so bad i had to go home early from school and i wanted to vomit so bad but could not.

[shallowgravesk8films]

@shogrran lol, sounds fun...

[FakeProps]

so if you put the moon in mentos it will explode?

[ITyrantl]

@FakeProps you mean put the moon in a giant bottle of diet coke : p

[ComradeMagnum]

Wait, wouldn't covering the mentos in a coating prevent the reaction altogether?

[GreenAms]

@ComradeMagnum they showed that it has a reduced reaction when covered with wax.

[Phenom7896]

So to do this you shake up the coke bottle a bit and put the mentos in and BOOM?

[kakao87]

wtf she's amazing....!!!

[ManniMann1986]

wait! WHAT!!!??? photo shoot with FHM???

[falconfira]

curious thing, fill a container with coke, put meat in there, leave overnight, you have white meat. Also Twizzlers have the same effect, just to a much much lesser extent

[ManniMann1986]

now try it with pork...nasty surprise..

[ioriXx]

this people have one of the best jobs ever!!!!!!

[TheUndertakerfan2002]

[Luis90438]

[MrSuicide100]

[ZeroTakenaka]

[dxxa94]

[dxxa94]

[eug82]

crvftnhyuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[ApslgStudios]

[Rawd123]

I wonder what would happen if you drank a Litre and then ate a Mentos.

[Patriotsfan346]

damn you should send that in they may put it on air

[zezisgay]

nothing the puring eleminates the gas ( they have a episode about taht)

[zezisgay]

Pouring*

[Rawd123]

Lol. Thanks. :)

[mileyfan31896]

awesome

[theedrstrangelove]

c'mon people. as a 12 year old i did stuff like this because it was fun. do you really think the disclaimer.....don't try this at home" really works?

[Stale1212]

The disclaimer just makes them not legally liable to be responsible for any actions caused by the people that are experimenting.

[DeltaPhi79]

It doesn't work, but they don't want to take the blame, and I think they say it because of everything else on the show too.

[DeltaPhi79]

To people worrying: as long as you're not stupid enough to drink Diet Coke or ANY diet soda with stuff like this in it, you're safe. (ANY diet soda only because it has no sugar, and adding it quickly could make it explode, as you can do with a pixie stick)

[Foxiesz]

He has to wear a welding mask and a gas mask just to put aspartame in soda water? O_o;

[Zeromark]

And we drink that stuff in diet cola...How dangerous is it?

[killman369547]

well if u quickly put the cap on it basically turns into a bomb no joke

[jokie987]

thats because if it gets in his eyes he could have serious eye infection or worse go blind.

[Foxiesz]

Really? So if you put diet coke in your eyes it could make you go blind?

[jokie987]

no just aspritain in soda water.

[Foxiesz]

Well that's no fun

[jokie987]

nope. no fun

[Foxiesz]

T_T

[DeltaPhi79]

I think he's doing it in case it exploded so it wouldnt get in his eyes/

[Coastalrange]

Mentos do not contain gelatin, or at least the ones I'm eating right now

[colorstripe56]

did she say she was in a photo shoot with fhm

[megalodan1]

i think so

[lukewoodfield]

[bohichek]

[yoskura97]
