We did that experiment in high school chem. We used a 20 ounce diet sprite, and did it on the second floor deck of the school, it was visible from the road.

I love Hatrack. Sort of like a safe gateway into the bizarre world of the Internet. (Elizabeth, it was taking forever to load so I just hit play when the gray bar had extended out what I deemed a decent distance and it worked fine.)

I liked the explanation, because it also seems to cover the mountain-dew-volcano trick (you can make a volcano out of a glass of mountain dew, lots of pepper, and some salt).

The first big step is making a cartridge of Mentos. Holding a Mento with a pair of pliers, you can drill a small hole through the center. Do not drill a hole through your hand the way Matt did. Repeat: do not drill a hole through your hand the way Matt did.
String together five or six of your new "Mento-beads," onto a straightened paper clip or a piece of fishing line.
The Cap
Holding a bottle cap with a pair of pliers, you can drill a hole (say 1/4 inch in diameter) through the top of the cap. Be careful here. If you are under age 35, please get help from an adult. Don't forget Matt. We want you to have full use of all your fingers for many years to come.
I wish I'd done something productive with my life.
