- KaiUno, on 06/22/2008, -1/+13It's not that kind of coke. It's the cheap variety. And then even the disgusting sort, the diet stuff. Better to make fountains of it than have it poison folks with its aspartame.
- PaulOwen, on 06/22/2008, -0/+4Those crayzee central europeans!
- themastersb, on 06/22/2008, -0/+3So if it wasn't actual Coke does it still count?

- mrASSMAN, on 06/22/2008, -0/+1actually the stock has been plummeting since new years day..
- jontalisman, on 06/23/2008, -0/+1Good, I'll get a cheap price.

- jreinstedler, on 06/22/2008, -16/+68omg can this fad please die already... there so much more to science out there.
- feliks2, on 06/22/2008, -3/+45This has nothing to do with science. People do this because blowing coke out of coke bottles is cool.
- Chalks777, on 06/23/2008, -0/+1I dunno... I always tell people I do it for science. Then I laugh maniacally.
I have too much time on my hands. :(

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFf-kW1E0Tc - efitz11, on 06/22/2008, -2/+157much more anti-climactic than it sounds
- jimminy, on 06/22/2008, -20/+3For me 1,911 explosions is not that big, now 1911 explosions would be something...
- DaHuuuuuudge, on 06/22/2008, -1/+6You make no sense.
- jimminy, on 06/22/2008, -1/+8My bad, I didn't add that we use comma as decimal separator over here. That could be confusing some times, although not really in this article :)
- DaHuuuuuudge, on 06/22/2008, -1/+6You make no sense.
- UNL1M1T3D, on 06/22/2008, -0/+3Yeah I was expecting a heck of a lot more then this.
- mojoface, on 06/22/2008, -0/+3They need a much better camera angle or multiple angles. Like an isometric or top down shot. You can barely see what is going on. Looks more like 20 people than 1,901.
- jimminy, on 06/22/2008, -20/+3For me 1,911 explosions is not that big, now 1911 explosions would be something...
- FuzzyBunny89, on 06/22/2008, -9/+1Anyone else hear Sounds Like Teen Spirit at the end?
- ABadPerson, on 06/22/2008, -7/+21A tremendous and woefully uncreative waste of diet coke.
- NBMedia, on 06/22/2008, -1/+6I would rather Mento that crap, than drink it
- Protonz, on 06/22/2008, -13/+3Good Lord.... it's like 9/11 plus one thousand!
- IllBeBack, on 06/22/2008, -0/+3I think you mean 9/11 TIMES a thousand.
That's like, 911,000, Gary.
***** YEAH!

- Borgcube636, on 06/22/2008, -9/+4Luke: "Are you all right? What's wrong?"
Old Ben: "I felt a great disturbance in the Force... as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in pleasure..." - frenchkick, on 06/22/2008, -10/+2please stop making stupid/not funny posts that are not related to the story in anyway
- BossKey, on 06/22/2008, -9/+3How much carbon did that put into the atmosphere...
- cvrti5, on 06/22/2008, -0/+3R U Serius?
- BossKey, on 06/22/2008, -1/+1No, of course not! :) Just making fun of our current obsession with carbon in the atmosphere, and that's part of what's in the fizz.
- cvrti5, on 06/22/2008, -0/+3R U Serius?
- bgolat, on 06/22/2008, -7/+2wow I expected something cool...

- woofers07, on 06/22/2008, -7/+2lame and sticky
- MattNF, on 06/22/2008, -9/+6What a huge waste. Pathetic.
- Marines920, on 06/22/2008, -2/+2Don't know why you're buried. I agree 100% with you - huge waste - that could've been donated to some type of charity.
- Amezis, on 06/22/2008, -1/+3Who would you donate coke and mentos to? It's not like coke and mentos is going to help the homeless or save the poor.
- Robthefrog, on 06/22/2008, -2/+2I agree with you too. Stupid ***** waste.
- Marines920, on 06/22/2008, -2/+2Don't know why you're buried. I agree 100% with you - huge waste - that could've been donated to some type of charity.
- shondell, on 06/22/2008, -7/+6What an odd (and questionable?) number of participants to have do the stunt...
- jasonh1234, on 06/22/2008, -2/+1They should've made it 1812
(Bonus points if you know why.)- Caboose866, on 06/22/2008, -0/+1Without watching the video I'm guessing that the song for the video was the 1812 Overture.
- jasonh1234, on 06/22/2008, -2/+1They should've made it 1812

- gregMF, on 06/22/2008, -3/+65love the youtube comments
"this is so wasteful and just a waste of money. everybody who participated in this should be sent to a forced labor camp. also, i really loved the riot at the end. very classy."
"these foreigners need to ***** learn english or they can get the ***** out of america."
"End of the Cold War leads to = This?"- AndrewDB, on 06/22/2008, -0/+38http://xkcd.com/202/
- UNL1M1T3D, on 06/22/2008, -0/+4It's funny, I know that there won't be any intelligent comments, but I can't help but look. It's like a train wreck.
- cashmonkey, on 06/23/2008, -1/+4"these foreigners need to ***** learn english or they can get the ***** out of america." Ether really funny parody of a bigot or painfully ignorant and still funny.
- ahwang, on 06/22/2008, -8/+2Now Latvia can be known for something other than its baklava.
...?- wenomspitta, on 06/22/2008, -0/+1what?
- plup, on 06/22/2008, -0/+3Baklava is a Turkish dessert by the way.
- TomJohn, on 06/22/2008, -8/+2Proof that there are no truly serious problems in the world. Yay!!
- jumbalia, on 06/22/2008, -4/+5the coke streams didn't seem to last very long or go very high. I wonder if they were just using regular coke instead of diet. Not very impressive
- therumster, on 06/22/2008, -1/+3They were all using 1.5 liter bottles, not the 2 liter, so that could make a difference.
- LavaWarrior, on 06/22/2008, -6/+1"No coke, pepsi! Oh come on, you set me up for that one"
- Feep, on 06/22/2008, -3/+15Man. Digg is full of haters tonight.
- Danby123, on 06/22/2008, -3/+1Soulja jocks on haterz.

- Czechxican, on 06/22/2008, -2/+2Wow all these comments are horrible.
- rukeypoo, on 06/22/2008, -0/+5Another camera angle would have been nice. One higher than 3 feet off the ground.
