Mentos: A Dr. Bunhead funny you can do at home!

RickJ · #1 Jul 21, 2006, 06:02 AM

My wife's aunt, a wonderful woman of about 80 years, gave me a gift. A roll of Mentos and a 2-liter of Diet Coke.

Now for your viewing pleasure, watch what happens when Dr. Bunhead Jr. dumps them into the soda.

I'm surprised there is not a warning on Mentos and Diet Soda labels!

Not bad there Rick, but here's how you really do it

Enjoy, movie has sound

Those are good ones!

I wanted to rig something with a hole in the cap but my son was so impatient to do it...

I'll have to scrounge up some pics of our saltpteter/sugar rocket flame smoke bombs. Those are a real hoot!

Shakes my head and grins at all the rocket scientist wannabees LOL
You need to come visit your relatives Rick and take a tour of the Space Center, I think!!

I did just 2 years ago. The 3rd time I've been.

We've got a good one close-by here in Ohio too: National Museum of the Us Air Force

Love that stuff. I'm a Science Junkie - and happily have 3 jr. science junkies to play with!

Another interesting page I came across once... if you have a couple hundred dollars or an old microwave to spare.
