You may recall the old myth about pop rocks and soda, causing your stomach to explode. Mythbusters tackled it in their first season, IIRC.

Wonder if they can test Mentos and soda as a follow-on test....

Me too. I have to decide if I want to warn them to get out of the way or to just "drop the roll of mentos in the soda..." :cool:

It looks like it could be a bit of a messy project.

have you guys try the beer trick too?


when someone opens a bottle beer, tap the top of his bottle kinda hard with the bottom of your beer bottle.

should I do that when he's drinking the beer after he opened it. Or trick him to open a beer and go and fetch me a sandwich.

lol

as soon he opens the beer bottle up and sets it on the table, tap it with the bottom of your beer bottle.

and then tell him to jug it quickly, because if he dont it going to come all out. :)

Tried this tonight, works exactly as advertised. Good stuff, thanks!

I think my kids were looking at me weird before I dropped the mentos into the soda.

If you're over the age of 17 and do this, it's ground for an immediate ass-kicking.

Shit, we used to sneak mentos into people's beers when I was stationed in Mississippi. It was funny watching them scramble around as their beer spewed into the air. We once did it to our bay chief and ended up doing shit details for a week. Good times!

I was tempted to start a Mentos + Sosa thread, but I somehow found the strength deep inside not to.
