- Bob042, on 10/12/2007, -1/+32I wonder if that would kill a lawn?
- rancemo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+25Just mix burritos and lots of Corona in your stomach. The next day your ***** will look similar to this!
- vermin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+20I thought it was gonna be a dupe, but it was in fact awesome! :D
- linuxinit, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19Then you do something and post it in a video instead of bitching.
- JasonHilton, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15Wow, you know it's bad when digg can kill Google Video.
- pinky24, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16most defiantly with all the aspartame in it.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16that's what I though: sponsored by Coke and mentos
- L0phtpDK, on 10/12/2007, -4/+17Yea, but it was all ruined by the two creepy guys lurching in the back ground
- JzLosman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13i don't know about diet coke, but lima beans, sunflowers and tomato plants grew roughly 1/3 faster and 1/2 bigger when watered with diet pepsi rather than water, did an experiment for a course in high school.
- interiot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12I'm sure Brainiac will have to do a version with 50 gallons of Coke and 20 pounds of Mentos, all in a huge container, and see how high it will shoot a dummy, or something like that.
- Providence, on 10/12/2007, -5/+16That's uh...DIET Coke you're thinking about drinking. Barf.
- tkdan235, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10This was posted on the google blog today:
http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2006/10/domino-effect.html - othersomethings, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7I don't know about awesome, but the ending was certainly artistic.
- hablo4u, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Diet Pepsi has an average ph of 4.65. A lot of plants thrive in an acidic solution. But, considering the reaction of the base and acid in Mentos and the Diet Coke, I assume that once the solution hits the ground, it probably has balanced itself out (back to neutral 7). This is mostly conjecture.
- JeffP, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6The original for those who might not have seen it:
http://digg.com/tech_news/The_Extreme_Diet_Coke_Mentos_Experiment - DubbleA, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Humm... as of right now this story has 308 diggs. But how many views does the actual google video have? 73.
- linuxinit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4It'd just spill over... You have to bottleneck the pressure.
- pinky24, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5ya, right, you can't beat the original.... It was amazing, all in one place, I liked the way how they didn't have to set them off themselves though.
- u8myfoood, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4the fruity ones are good, i dont think that many ppl actually eat the mint ones though
- twtmc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4@monolith
That would have just made a little bit of fizz, because when you pour it out of the bottle, you release a lot of the CO2 in it, which is what reacts with the mentos to make that effect. - AdamWeeden, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3@hablo4u
Mentos and Diet Coke don't react in an acid + base sort of way (a la baking soda and vinegar). Mentos has a very rough surface that pulls the dissolved CO2 out of Diet Coke at an extremely accelerated rate causing rapid expansion. If you tried it with flat Diet Coke (still acidic) you would get nothing. - Yashar, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5It works on their site some how but not on google video.
http://eepybird.com/exp214.html - CorruptSoul, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5Wow... crazy to think that something so simple can be overblown into something so cool.
I wonder if it can be done with anything else? :p - shadowsurfr1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Dude that was awesome. I wish i had that much free time.
- linuxinit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Come on... Who actually eats Mentos? :P
- phort99, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2After a while I lost appreciation for how soaked in minty Coke they must've been after that was done... Just one Mentos in a can of Diet coke makes for something surprisingly minty considering the quantity. Or maybe that was the battery acid they use as a sweetener burning my taste buds...?
- simplysic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2If they put that much thought into a Coke and Mentos trick.
Google should just hire them - Gundabad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Someone needs to get a 10-gallon jug and fill it with diet coke, then drop a whole pack of mentos in
- sbeashwar, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3holy cow..... this is turning out to be a successful marketing campaign for Coke & Mentos.
- anagoge, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Do you know how many girls that Diet Coke would feed!
- Rikushix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That would be the sickest water park ever.
Coke park, actually. - Superthug, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Reminds me of the Dancing Fountains in Las Vegas.
- ten1437, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1another good site for this stuff is www.cokerockets.com
- thomashallock, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1from Anonymous: "Like Stanislauw Ulam of the US nuclear bomb project, they have discovered how to apply self-reflexivity to the initial weapon, and to use its energy output to scale up the destructive, or ceremonial, power. What this means that with enough supplies of Diet Coke and Mentos, you could "take out" a city, or, at a minimum, cover its inhabitants with Diet Coke. Clearly, the governments of the world will reclassify the components of this powerful binary weapon as terrorist WMDs."
- trainer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1did all the grass die?
- TheChrisParker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Does anyone else think that this is the ONLY thing Diet Coke was meant for? It's like a joyous gift o' God, right in the same aisle of the store!
- hichnii, on 04/02/2008, -0/+1Detox diets are on the rise. Walk into a health food store or pharmacy and you’ll be presented with a huge variety of detox kits. Some are designed to cleanse your digestive system or your liver, while others promise weight loss.
http://detox.weebly.com/ - BenSerwa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1A coke/mentos domino effect! Cute, I wonder where they'll go with the next one?
- pinky24, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@AdamWeeden
it also has to do with the aspartame, and caffeine in the diet coke,
also with some ingredients in mentos, but I forget which ones now. - anarchtica, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2The link to Google Video doesn't work for me because I get "video unavailable." However, the link from eepybird's website works http://www.eepybird.com/exp214.html
- Lisztman, on 10/12/2007, -7/+7So awesome!
Try listening to the third movement of Prokofiev's 2nd Piano concerto while watching this on mute. It almost perfectly syncs up! :D - joel2600, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1this video was retarded.
it was just a bunch of *****. same ***** over and over.
it's like well we did this once, let's do it again, but a little different and everyone will think it's cool.
has anyone else ever worked with MetreoVision? man I hate that application. - unknamed, on 10/12/2007, -6/+6Very original and well done..... but damn, how long did it take to set that up?
I bet this makes onto national TV in some form or another. Then some dumb kid will put his eye out trying to copy it, Google will get sued for not having a disclaimer, and all we'll be left with are videos of cats falling asleep. - ScazUK, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Is it just me? Or does the music in that video sound like the Futurama themetune?
- dexterv3, on 03/22/2009, -0/+0Good information,i have also blog slendertone belt for diet. http://slendertone-belt.blogspot.com
- linuxinit, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2There are many more videos like this on the Coca-Cola website.
http://www.coca-cola.com/challenge/index.html - converge, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3Holy crap, that's a first.
- eschompthis, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2at least all the sodas are away from all the fat americans
- egotripping, on 10/12/2007, -6/+4There were some really beautiful moments in that.
- cmw72, on 10/12/2007, -6/+3Welcome to the future of youtube.
