Mentos Fountain

It's pretty funny how yesterday, th TV annoyed me, and I publically stated my recovery from my TV addiction of old, yet today, I found myself glued to that brain drain fascinated by an episode of Myth Busters. At least I can claim I learned something...but who amI kidding? Well clearly, I'm behind the times (not watching enough TV perhaps...) as I had no idea that adding Mentos to Diet Coke creates a huge instant fountain! And that adding rock salt will increase its height independent of physical efforts (such as decreasing the opening diameter)! Woo! Looks like lots fun, but incredibly messy. Would I try it? Nah. I'm pass that stage...though I'll play with a potato mortar anyday! ;D
