Here's some fun you can have: I'm told it works. Put 6 mentos in a small plastic coca cola bottle (obviously FULL of coca cola) and close the bottle tightly. After a while it explodes!

Think of the fun you can have at the office, or school. So much trouble you can cause.

(well, in my retirement I've started to become norman clegg and all his friends... what else is there to do all day?)

this is old news but still fun.
However, it makes you wonder what happens if you eat a mentos and drink coke. A bomb inside your stomach.

a lot of gas, i think!

Get a chunk of sodium metal, and whip it in a tub of water.

I'm envisioning Mr. Lizard from Dinosaurs (a spoof of Mr. Wizard) telling his assistant Timmy to do what you just suggested.

We need another Timmy!

Where do you get Sodium?

(reminds me of the vic reeves line: what's the matter, don't you like nitrogen?)

Yes, this is truly amusing if it goes well.

I have seen the Exploding Coke Bottle trick done many times and I, myself have completed it once.

I got soaked in coke because I was WAY to close.. LOL

Thanks for sharing,

You'd have to order it. Schools usually have them, or universities.

You could possibly order them. But if you use a Coke Bottle and some Mints of some sort. BI-Carbonate of Soda works just as well.

And place a cork in the bottle , that does it well..
