Slow motion video showing what's happening inside a 2-liter bottle of diet soda when MENTOS are dropped in. Carbon dioxide in the soda is attracted to crevices on the MENTOS and quickly combine to shoot out the top of the bottle. Phantom 9.0 high-speed digital camera from Vision Research (2,000 frames per second) captured the slow-motion footage.
