Diet Coke and Mentos

As always, I am so far behind blogging! I almost want to give up! No, I need a secretary! Who wants to be it?!? Takers?!


Ok, I don't even know when this was, clearly it was cool out so it wasn't anytime recently! For Christmas Elias got this Mentos Rocket contraption. It's a tube that holds a bunch of mentos in place, while the soda rolls up over them. Very cool! So, of course we had to head outside and do it over and over and over again!


The packaging recommends Diet soda as it is less sticky than regular soda.

Line the Mentos up                                                                       Stand back.....

Whoah Momma!!! Boy does it work!!

There are tons of website that offer different variations of this science experiment  (I mean cool neat trick!)
