Exploding Soda

Exploding Soda
So here is a simple and easy prank to pull on any soda lover.  With help of a trusty brand freshmaker Mentos, a bottle of coke and a little bit of prep you can create an erupting cola volcano of DOOM. I have done this prank with a variety of brands of soda and all  have worked with great success.  The following sodas I have had success with: Coke, Diet Coke, RC Cola, Pepsi and Diet Pepsi.

also wrap your mentos in paper then put it in the coke. Close the cap and either
1. stand and watching really explode
2. Harder but take the bottle updide down and throw it down away from you and with some luck, the cap should fly off with lots of pressure and the bottle will go flying! =D
