If you would like to beat the heat, act like a kid again or just want your kids to have a lot of fun with your supervision and in the backyard, then a simple summer experiment is in order.
Follow these simple instructions:
Find a 2-liter bottle of Diet Soda and four Mentos. Plunge the Mentos mint candies into the Diet Soda bottle and stand back!
A geyser of soda will shoot as high as 20 feet in the air!!!!!!!
You might have seen the online video that shows a dancing fountain of the fizzy stuff using 101 2-liter Diet Coke bottles and 523 Mentos. But the interesting side effect is the serious business story that comes into play--Mentos sales have boosted since that video hit the web!
I find that completely hilarious! If you try this experiment, please be safe, but send me some photos, too!

Mike is enthralled with this little explosion phenomenon also. HAH! No experiments with it yet on our part but I'm sure he has helped the boost in Mentos sales - he loves them!!
Hope all is well :)
