Ok, Adam & Jamie.\u00a0 We heard you.\u00a0 “Don’t try this at home.”\u00a0 But this was one Myth that we just had to try on our own!<\/p>\n

We set up the experiment before we watched the Mythbusters episode.\u00a0 We had a bottle of water, seltzer water, Caffiene Free Diet Coke, and Diet Coke.\u00a0 GeekBoy was convinced that everything would explode, it was gonna be great!!<\/p>\n

He dropped a Mento into the bottle of water, and ran.\u00a0 Nothing happened.\u00a0 A bit disappointed, he persevered.<\/p>\n

He dropped a Mento into the bottle of seltzer water, and took a step back.\u00a0 It fizzed up, but didn’t really do much.\u00a0 Hopeful, he moved on to the Caffeine Free Diet Coke.<\/p>\n

GeekBoy dropped a Mento into the bottle of Caff. Free Diet Coke, and took a step back.\u00a0 Then he quickly took a few more as the soda gushed higher.\u00a0 Excited, he could hardly wait to try the next bottle.<\/p>\n

As he readied to drop the Mento into the bottle of Diet Coke, he hollered out a warning.\u00a0 Then he dropped the candy in and ran!\u00a0 He turned around in time to see the fountain of soda as it went higher and higher in the air.<\/p>\n

Afterwards, we watch Mythbusters, as Jamie and Adam experimented to find out just why did the mento react that way to the soda. \u00a0 It was great.\u00a0 *S*<\/p>\n
