A new use for Altoids

[LSPoorEeyorick]

I think this might require a reconvening (er, if it's the first time, is it a convening?) of the LoT Chemistry Experiment Society.

Put the mint in the coco(cola), shake it all up! (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5341058)

Rad!

Gonna go try this one very soon...

I SO know what my friends and I are going to do tomorrow!

The original artical said Mentos (the title of the thread said Altoids). Never having had a Mentos, what is the difference?

...and there is actually a scientific explanation.I don't give a crap about the scientific explanation. I just wanna see stuff blow up!

[Kevy Baby]

And there is yet ANOTHER interesting use for Altoids. (NSFW)Just pop one or two in your mouth for (giving) oral sex.

If you put "mentos cola" into a youtube search you get a lot to watch (http://youtube.com/results?search=mentos+cola&search_type=search_videos). I saw this a while ago, and a lot of people have done it since as well.

D'oh! I heard it on NPR and thought they said "altoids." Silly me.

Nevertheless. I really want to experiment...

[Freaky Tiki]

I shall make this so.....

I would imagine that Altoids would produce the same effects. We just need someone (cough, coastermatt, cough) to do the research.

Mentos are candy-coated wussy mints. I'm someone who likes a mint that will burn your mouth. Starbucks mints and peppermint oil :evil:
Going to watch youtube now, this should be good!

That explains why you get exploded stomach when you combine rock pops and dyspepsi cola.

Kevy: does that work? Hmm...

[Not Afraid]

Report back to us, will ya?

[CoasterMatt]

Wow, I thought I loved my job...

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Report back to us, will ya?I'll vouch for minty-fresh breath as being a plus :cool:

Kevy: does that work? Hmm...Having pleasantly been on the receiving end, I am VERY happy to report that yes, it works! :)

My cousin is living proof that the soda/mentos works. It does make me wonder, what happens if you eat a handful of mentos and chug a soda?

He did say that you have to use Diet Coke, and the Coke was digustingly flat afterwards.
