Its a mis-conception that it only works with diet, diet is only recommended because it is easier to clean up.

Diet Coke is specifically the one used because of all the sodas I've seen it reacts the most powerfully. Has to do with the specific mix of sweeteners. The easier-to-clean-ness is just icing on the cake.

Definitely Infinity

Dec 14, 2009. 3:06 PMWesley666 says:

Officially unofficial infinity definitely infinity...BEAT THAT!

Feb 19, 2010. 9:07 AMnoname420 says:

Officially unofficial infinity definitely infinity plus one, :) sorry had to be a smart a$$

Feb 19, 2010. 2:05 PMtimothymh says:

Officially unofficial infinity definitely certainly positively absolutely infinity plus one

Feb 19, 2010. 3:16 PMtahirhh says:

infinity plus one is equal to infinity. So by adding a "plus one" you're not actually changing anything.

so in conclusion

Officially unofficial infinity definitely infinity
is the same as
Officially unofficial infinity definitely infinity plus one

Just thought I should point it out :)

Feb 27, 2010. 12:47 PMArano says:

but x^2<x^3 for x=infinity

Feb 27, 2010. 4:12 PMnoname420 says:

Arano is right x^2<x^3 like x^4>x^3, *x=infinity*

Feb 24, 2010. 11:53 PMFashim says:

Yep Infinity^Infinity=infinity

Feb 20, 2010. 2:51 AMtimothymh says:

Good point. ... but I had more words anyway :)

This argument can only be won by the way that this instructable beat the youtube video, that is who is hotter. However, all of you are dudes, so no one wins. My two sense on which prank wins, I prefer to hear a hot Latina curse than some white dude!

Honestly when I saw the title and the thumbnail, I though it had something to do with boobies and didn't think "Oh, it's a trap"
