No mentos involved, although various sizes of plastic bottles were. Your boy would have been all over it!<br /><br />I must say though, the mentos/coke concoction does look a bit tempting....<br /><br />xo,<br />BethMe, You, or Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13159195620327366257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146073139129271180.post-24464702606339576142011-07-11T08:54:44.625-07:002011-07-11T08:54:44.625-07:00It was a nice idea and your boy seemed like a good...It was a nice idea and your boy seemed like a good sport about the anti-climatic results. Oh well.<br /><br />For round 2 - you'll need an entire 2 liter bottle of soda, and the classic (mint) mentos. That should yield better results. And then you can ask your kids to wash the windows =) Good luck!Hsin-Yihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07192752282293828868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146073139129271180.post-68609881974239028592011-07-11T07:38:07.471-07:002011-07-11T07:38:07.471-07:00I'm pretty sure dave letterman did the experim...I'm pretty sure dave letterman did the experiment on his show, so maybe your boy can google it. <br />I also think you need the 2 liter bottle of coke and you drop the mentos in, but again, I'm not clear on the details.<br />I'd ask my 16 yr old, but I don't want him to decide that he should stop what he's doing and make one...the clean up might be lengthy :)like the fruity mentos in PAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146073139129271180.post-82454850920537473052011-07-11T06:25:41.962-07:002011-07-11T06:25:41.962-07:00What an intrepid young scientist your boy is!
