Mentos, the freshmaker.

Sales of Mentos candy have nearly tripled in the last year, after five years of steady decline. This surge is attributed to the popularity of the various soda / Mentos experiment videos on the Internet.

---Have you seen any of these experiements, they are pretty cool and something that I could see the Offmen having a blast with back in the day. I dont quite understand the reaction between the Mentos and the cola but man, you can get quite a jetstream out of putting the 2 together. It looks like it can be a real mess too, so it would be something youd wanna do in the back yard. The kids would love it, Im looking in your direction Pete.---

No, what you do is put a bunch of Mentos (all at once) into the bottom of a 2 liter and you get this huge ass volcano like reaction. I guess something in the candy doesnt get along with crabonation.
