Exponential Coke-Mentos

If you like those video tidbits of two-liter Coke fountains triggered by Mentos dropped in the bottles, and if you get a little thrill from those (usually Japanese) guys who set up and then knock down sprawling domino layouts, have we got a video for you. Fritz and Steven, a couple of goggled and lab-coated geeks with way too much time on their hands, set up the mother of all Mentos blasts, with 251 two-liter bottles of soda and 1,506 mints. Aside from the mechanics of one eruption triggering the next, you gotta give them points for creative spewing, some of which rivals the dancing waters at the Bellagio in Las Vegas, only stickier.

I heard that these guys have made more than $30,000 so far in advertising tacked to the end of this clip. All I'm thinking about is how these kinds of beverages interact with all the crazy crap already in our stomachs.
