Filey regatta this weekend. 200 peeved sailors, most probably playing with coke bottles and mento's on Saturday evening... Marvellous :D Incidentally, another really fun one is to get an unsuspecting victim to lie down, fill their mouth with as much popping candy as they dare and pour coke over it. The bits fly for miles... |

Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and
oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital ingredient in beer. |

This trick works with most sweets and beer too- hilarious to drop a sweet into someones bottle and watch beer spray all over them, the sofa, and the peson either side of them

what if you put the coke in the water, then it would float as it is full of gas and it would probably make more thrust because it is pushing against something more solid (this is just a geuss) |

Wouldn't work - the bit that reacts in the coke when mentoes are added is most likely the phosphoric acid. Putting it in water would just dilute it.

i meant if you put the coke on the bottom of the windsurfer board. and i thought i heard somewhere that there wasnt actualy a reaction between the coke and the mentos just that the mentos gave the bubbles somewhere to form so there were a lot more bubles produced which made the fountain, like shaking coke just much much better. |
