#96 – Try the Coke and Mentos experiment



Right now you may be thinking that this experiment is already old news. Virtually everybody heard of it by now. And you are completely correct.

However, even though I watched a few YouTube videos and even seen this on the news, nothing compares to a first hand experience.

This experiment seemed fun. It seemed crazy, and stupid, and awesome, and surprisingly safe (you can rarely find something with all this qualities). Besides, it would make for a nice story to pass the time with friends.

So I got to work.

At my grandparents’ there are only a few shops, and they are the small, only-necessary-stuff kind. They only had Pepsi or Coca Cola classic, and had never even heard of Mentos.
So I had to wait until I got back home to buy everything. This whole time, my parents weren’t exactly what you would call supportive – they kept telling me it’s not worth the effort, blah blah.

But when the day came when I had everything I needed, all the family gathered round to see just what will happen. And I mean everybody. Long gone were the nagging and “This is stupid” and “You should start focusing on more important things”. At that moment, everybody was curious.

And we weren’t disappointed :).


Have a great summer!
