It's bubblicious

Have you seen the oh-so-viral video of people putting Mentos mints in liter bottles of Coke to watch them spew fizzy liquid several feet in the air? If you had, you would better understand the origin of those sticky puddles left on the sidewalk by the bored kids who live next door to you.
The next episode of "Mythbusters" (9 p.m. PDT, Aug. 9, Discovery Channel) will perform the tremendous public service of explaining the reason for this reaction -- a clip which probably also will become a viral video on YouTube.com.
