Quite strange. Those guys had WAY too much time on their hands to choreograph the "fountain".

They definitely have way too much time on their hands! Oddly enough (as a side note), I read it as "Mentors and Diet Coke" the first time around. I'm a bit fried right now!

I don't know about the fountain, but the basic experiment has been shown on a local news show as part of a recurring segment on science experiments - see http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/00000109 - for those (like myself) who don't have quicktime, you can see the basic experiment there as well; look down the page for the video link.

Gonna show my age here, but.....

I think this has the potential to replace the dangerous "Pop Rocks & Coke" urban legend of my generation.

It is funny how Mentos took over the pop rocks in the categoy of things not to mix with coke!

Good idea.......eat a pack of Mentos and chug a warm liter of Diet Coke!

Make sure a camera is running to record your research findings.....

2 years ago my sons pre-school theacher did this in their classroom. Quite impressive, and messy. She had see it at a teachers convention attended during the summer as a way to introduce real small kids to science.

Briliant stuff...

... now the obvious question is, how can someone make a weapon out of it?
