    Ireland's National blacked out!

    This is going to be my Mentos and Diet Coke experiment outfit today. Some associates and I at work have decided to see if the combination of those 2 items is as explosive as recent reports seem to show. If you are not familiar with this, Google Coke and Mentos, or check out the video at www.eepybird.com. Oh, and I scrunched the hose down further after seeing this picture.

    Splenid, KCW, yet again you have found a shirt to match the kilt.

    Looks good.

    We tried the diet Coke thing last week at home & got it to shoot quite high.
    Drilled a 3/16" hole in the lid & cut a little bigger hole in the plastic seal inside the lid. Then used an upholstery needle to thread 5 mentos onto some kite string. Pulled the string through the hole in the lid so that the mentos could be held-up out of the coke while screwing the lid back on. Let go of the string so the mentos dropped in & wooooo hoooooo, Coke geyser!

    Hope you have fun with with it too.

    I don't know that I'd risk soaking a kilt (even a SportKilt) in Diet Coke.

    Besides - playing with Mentos and Diet Coke is dangerous.

    Oh, it's not dangerous, see below. However, I think that this is nuts:

    And wait for the Holiday weekend installment! My conspirator in arms missed the real event today! I am going to do another round with a real video camera, instead of the still camera in video mode, this weekend.

    I'll be trying the Mentos and Coke during our 4th of July cookout. When you're a pyrotechnician everyone expects something new everytime they see you.
