Mentos: The Geysermaker

I read about this on Yahoo! Somebody figured out if you drill a hole in the cap of a 2 liter bottle of Diet Coke and then drop in 5 Mentos, you'll get a geyser. Then of course, they posted it on the internet where it's drawing a lot of attention. One of my co-workers thought maybe it was a scam to get people to buy Mentos and Diet Coke. The makers of Mentos definitely like the free advertising they are getting from the videos and the fact that people are rushing out all across America to get their product to try it out.

Anyways, I had to test it out to see for myself. I put 3 Mentos on a straightened paperclip, drilled two 7/64th inch holes in the bottle cap, and then dropped the paperclip with Mentos (via the holes in the cap) into a 20 oz can of Diet Coke ( I can't wait to try a two liter sometime). Of course, I also videotaped it so I could put it on the internet (Micole jokingly thought I should blog it, so I am). I truly, truly sound like a complete dork in this video. "Holy crap, it does werrrrkkk!" I should never be allowed to talk again. Ever.

Aunt Kelly requested a picture with both of the boys. It's hard to get them together for very long so this is the best I could do. Colton swings while Cooper gets ready to throw my shoes down the stairs for the 427th time.

It's hard to believe, but we've been living in this house for 6 months, well except for this guy. He's only been here since April. I think he likes it so far.

I had the pleasure of escorting Cooper to his 3rd haircut on this fine evening. He hates sitting in the chair, even though it's a race car with a toy steering wheel. He screams almost the whole time, except occasionally he'd stop for a few seconds to watch the Elmo video on the shop tv.
