Mentos Embraces The Mentos + Coke Explosion

Have to applaud Mentos here for embracing the crazy “Mentos + Coke Explosion.” For those of you who don’t know, combining Mentos and a 2 Liter Coke creates a nice super fountain. Instead of worrying about the negative press that could emerge from that kind of chemical reaction, Mentos launched a contest to see who can make the best explosion. Contestants must submit a video in order to win a 1 years supply of Mentos and 1,000 ITunes downloads.

The only downside is that we can’t enter the competition!

From the Mentos site:

“THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS OFFERED IN THE UNITED STATES AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA (”D.C.”), EXCLUDING ARIZONA, NEW JERSEY, MARYLAND, TENNESSEE, AND VERMONT.” Read the rules here

DAMN!
