    It's weird that you don't have more comments on this cool video. I agree that it would be interesting to test different variables. Seems like that would be a good job for this creator! I've always been interested in why Diet Coke has a different bubble profile than regular Coke and how soft drink manufacturers use carbonation to affect mouth feel and user experience. It seems possible that there is a combination of nucleation catalyst and medium that could outperform Diet Coke and Mentos. It seems like whoever found that would be an internet hero.

    I'm performing this experiment with my 3rd grade class for science fair. We are testing different types of carbonated fluids and the mentos reaction. How wide is the tube and PVC pipe? How did you get an 8ft florescent tube protector? I can't find that size? Can I join two tubes together with a sealer?

      You want to get a Schedule 40 PVC fitting. You can get these at Lowe's or Home Depot. Go to the fluorescent light section in Lowe's or Home Depot and ask for fluorescent light guards. Let me know how the experiments work!!

    How many mehtos do you add? I;m using a 20 oz bottle

      One or two works well...it might be fun to explore how number of mentos affects foam height!

    This is fascinating.
    I always have a big fan of chemistry and i would love it if they were more people on youtube to make that education/ experiments open education like this :)
