Mentos & Diett Coke Test - VADO HD Pocket Video Camera

Apparently the local WalMart no longer carries regular Mentos candies, which I need for a project at work. This is a test using fruit-flavored Mentos and Diet Coke.

While it works, the eruption was not as high as I had hoped. I don't know if this is due to the fruit-flavored Mentos being less effective than regular Mentos candies, or a result of the Diet Coke being fairly warm and having been shaken considerably during the trip in the car.

(NOTE: a friend explained to me that fruit-flavored Mentos have a smoother surface texture than regular Mentos, and thus do not create as dramatic an out-gassing effect in the soda.)

This clip was edited and down-sized in iMovie, so the quality is not fully representative of the potential of the VADO HD Pocket Video Cam.
