| Granny set the stage for this experiment in jet propulsion with the use of Diet Coke and the candy Mentos. What's not recorded is that Jiichan test fired one bottle to show everyone how to set if off, but used only two Mentos tablets. What we learned from this initial effort was that we needed more Mentos - More Mentos, More Mentos... |
Each grandchild took their turn, in turns, but instead of using just two Mentos, each used three - you can see by the propulsion that the jet reached around 7-8 feet in height - We learned later that if one inserts an entire roll of Mentos that it spurts even higher - oh well, there's always next time. We ended up spraying off the deck of sticky Diet Coke and Mentos... |
