On Wednesday, August 9th, 2006, one of my favorite shows is taking on the Mentos and Diet Coke phenomenon. Yes, Mythbusters does Mentos and Diet Coke. It should be loads of fun seeing the Mythbusters take on it.
In this episode Adam and Jamie are trying to figure out the theory behind the chaos when diet cola and mentos mix. Inspired by an internet phenomenon The Mythbusters take on the controversy surrounding these fizzy fountains.

And speaking of Mentos geysers, Mentos themselves has wholeheartedly embraced the Mentos fountain and now has a contest up at http://www.mentosgeyser.com. Submit your best Mentos soda geyser video and you could win a year’s supply of Mentos, 1,000 iTunes downloads, or other great prizes. The best part – everyone who enters gets a free Mentos cap, towel, or t-shirt. A free candy t-shirt just might be enough to motivate me to give it a try.
Even if you don’t feel like making a video, you can drop by YouTube and browse through all the latest entries to the contest.
