This isn't really science but it is neat and fits with upcoming Fourth of July festivities.

"How to Make a Soda Bottle Volcano.

Words cannot begin to describe the awesome eruption that is created from mixing Mentos candy and soda. Eruptions of up to 18 feet are possible if this technique is done correctly. Steve Spangler shares this experiment from his television show... and a link to one of the first viral videos."

And here's EepyBird.com's Extreme Diet Coke & Mentos Experiments! Click play (the triangle on the left) below to see the video and click here to visit EepyBird.com where you can learn more and see more clips.

It appears that others find the experiments to be perfect for next week since Fritz and Stephen (EepyBird.com) will appear on both Letterman and the Today Show. Late Night with David Letterman will air this Thursday, June 29 on CBS and The Today show segment will be on Friday morning, June 30th, on MSNBC.
