Coke, Mentos and a condom is the formula for explosive fun

9/19/2012

Is this a training video for the quality control staff at the Durex condom factory? Backyard science has never been more fun than when it involves fizzy stuff, and rather than wait around four days to see if Coca-Cola can dissolve an eightpenny nail, better to seek more immediate gratification: load up a soda bottle with eight Mentos candies and cork it with one of Durex's one-size-fits-all beauties.  Now we know what it might look like if Bill Nye had a show on Cinemax. Kids, don't try this at the school science fair unless you're fishing for a suspension.
