Mentos and Diet Coke

Tonight, Erica and I found ourselves watching the Discovery Channel. We found that combining Diet Coke with a couple of mentos will explode into a 15-20 foot fountain. Maybe you all can try this for family home evening or something. Just put some mentos into a 2 liter diet coke and stand back. Here's a video that proves a successful "volcano". Dang, we have exciting lives! I know you are all jealous.

Ryan, I'm impressed you guys did this! I've heard about this a ton, and it is cool that you did it and that it works! Crazy stuff!

Oh, and I heard about this coke and mentos video on NPR, check it out -- http://youtube.com/watch?v=U8J4RdX5H8Y

They used over 100 bottles for this experiment (you'll have to copy and past the URL).

I knew you guys should have come to Heber this weekend. I promise we are a lot more exciting than this!

Yum....Diet Coke....

Paul and Ang aren't exciting anymore, now that their kids don't say anything unless spoken to.

The next video I want to see is you putting a mentos in your mouth full of coke.
