Exploding bottles?!


Question:

Exploding bottles?

hi
how do you explod bottles of fizzy drinks with mints


Answers:
You need coca cola - or cheaper version - open it and drop half a packet of polos ( or extra strong mints) in. It will 'whoosh' up and make a 'short-lived' cola fountain. If you put the top on quickly, after putting in the mints, hold bottle upside down and slam it onto concrete/tarmac surface, the bottle will 'launch' high into the air............errrrmm, should I be passing on this info.??? Do me a favour, and be very careful if you do, do this! Take care!! :)

My friend, who has apparantly done this (?) (I wouldn't have had a clue to be honest - lol)

You've been watching a metacafe video, they use Menthos, it's a mint with dimples in it otherwise it wont work.

Don't know why you want to do this, but to the best of my knowledge it works best if you use mentos and coke. Drop the mento in there and then put the lid back on. It bubbles so violently that it blows the top off. Be careful though, its dangerous.

it has to be diet coke

if you saw the video onlin, they used diet coke and mentos. i have a buddy who is a middle school science teacher and he did an experiment to see what types of soda worked and how many mentos got the highest spout. i want to say that 7-Up and 8 mentos worked the best in his experiment, if i remember correctly
