So, there's this "myth" that you can drop mentos in to a bottle of diet cola and it will create a most wonderful fountain.

woot! this is a great little trick. you know that it is a bad ass idea when the mythbusters even pick up on it. :)
True dat! And who knew you could have so much fun for $3??
any flavor mentos? and any diet cola? or does it work best with diet coke and mint mentos? or diet pepsi and fruity mentos? dude, i need DETAILS to try it!

looks like my weekend plans are set.
yup. Most fun you can have for $3! :-)
