Record-breaking mentos & coke explosion in Belgium
Posted by squee.gee | 25 Apr 2008  |  Comments (10)

CokeAndMentos.jpg

There's something weirdly cultish about 1,500 students dressing in matching poncho's, but when it's about breaking the record for mentos & coke explosions, you gotta love it. Youtube has a great archive of previous attempts.

Does anyone know if diet coke (coke light in europe) works better?

I think that this trend just jumped the shark

How I love it when Belgium comes under the attention for ridiculously genius attempts like this one. These truly are moments of great pride for my humble nation.

Someone should harness the power of coke + mentos to create a new form of fuel...

JimmieApril 25, 2008 3:47 PM

I believe people use Diet Coke cause' it's not sticky (like regular Coke is).

Al GoreApril 25, 2008 4:27 PM

What a waste! Wonder where all that coke ended up.

MarkChaiApril 25, 2008 5:00 PM

...And somewhere in Belguim a university plaza's cobblestones have disintegrated thanks to the river of cola that flowed through it. Does anyone have an image of the aftermath?

Tweend webdesignApril 25, 2008 5:13 PM

The best place to do this stuff is Belgium >:)

Is this really exciting to you guys! get a life. What a waste of resources. Coke executives must be reeling with joy over their sugared soda water sales. You guys should also be aware that Coke has some dubious reputation in the past for polluting fresh ground water across the globe. What kind of values are being taught in this institution? NO education is complete or of any value if it is not given a global, socio- economic and ecological perspective. And what the hell are these dudheads wearing?

Q: "Does anyone know if diet coke (coke light in europe) works better?"
A: Yes. Somehow.

"Someone should harness the power of coke + mentos to create a new form of fuel..."

And stop every 12th second with a new diet coke and mentos to be able to drive for 12 seconds then another one and another one?
"What a waste! Wonder where all that coke ended up."
The suer I think. ( Who wants Coke that have been on the ground for a while?)
"And what the hell are these dudheads wearing?"
I think they just weared them to look the same, and + that you they don't ruin their "real" clothes that way. Just some cheap rug or something.
