My brother and I ran our own experiment in our parking lot. It shot up in a fountain and sprayed us all with limey Cokey goodness.

Our neighbors think we're nerds. I guess they're right.

I heard that if you rub the Mentos with fine sandpaper first the results are even better.
I really need to get a life:(

Sorry, I haven't been around much lately, and I'm too lazy to search for such threads.

How's married life treating you Beth?

it's treating me rather well, thank you :) we went out doing married things yesterday, like looking at antique furniture, buying new decorations for the porch, picking up cleaning products, etc.

did you get a new car and / or house?

did you see the mythbusters where they made it shoot 30some feet in the air. that was pretty cool. i kinda wanna try putting some diet coke in my mouth and dropping in a few mentos just to see if it'll erupt out of all the holes in my head or just gag me.

No, still got the Golf. But I'm trying to source some nice wheels for it at the moment (and coilover suspension).
And the house-hunting isn't going well. Every time I make an appointment to view a house, I get a call from the agent saying it's just been sold.:(
