New Jen's Horde

Diet Coke and Mentos

 
Davin heard this story on NPR today, and stopped by our corner drug store to pick up the supplies to try this experiment. Unfortunately, I didn't catch it on my camera (battery problem), although I do have a nice picture of our patio table covered with Diet Coke, oh so exciting.

Anyway, here is actual video for your pleasure. It was pretty much like that here, only outside and I think ours went a little higher with no pesky bathroom ceiling to hinder it.

I really wish I could have been there when this was first discovered. I have no idea what made them decide to try this, but I'm guessing there was some awed silence for at least a couple of seconds after the explosion. My horde actually went into a shocked hush at the sight. It lasted less than a second, but it was still kinda spooky.

Excellent. My daughter's first words upon seeing it was, "We gotta try this."
 
I've seen this before...and I'm dying to try it!!

Holy crapolla! That was awesome, but I wouldn't try it indoors. That waspretty cool!
 
We're doing this one on Easter for the family ;)

Oh, and dangit Jen, I really like the Amber alert system, but now I'm really really depressed.

"The Oklahoma State Police and the Purcell Police Department canceled the Amber Alert after the girl's body was found in the apartment complex in which she lived. The unidentified suspect is in custody at this time. "

They took down her picture I saw just hours ago. I'm sad.
 
we did this last fall....the best part, according to my kids, was mommy falling on her big butt trying to back away quickly.
LOL
 
AWESOME!
