Mentos and Coke: My Take

When you place Mentos candy into Coke the candies allow CO2 to quickly separate out of the soda and exit the bottle much more rapidly than normal. The result is a "Coke geyser."

I was always curious of this phenomena and have seen all the videos. I finally got to try it for myself this weekend while visiting friends and family for Memorial Day weekend. It was interesting to say the least and turned out to be pretty funny in hindsight. Hope you enjoy. And if you try to swallow whole Mentos, I'd recommend having someone who knows CPR nearby, I almost choked.

I agree, I've not mastered proper editing just yet. And yes that bottle was ridiculously strong.
