hi guys. im back from a vacation. this is a little off topic of the subject but ill get to it. welll the vacation i meant was a cool down from cannons. my parents are getting iffy with it. cause we kinda live in one of those bad areas if you know what i mean. and they dont want me to get caught having one in my possesion. so i thought i would take a brake for a month or two. well.

i am going to work on a video today.(about diet coke and mentos)
and im goin to experiment whether other carbonated drinks will do that also. im just tryin to find the new craze ....

have a good one :D

No it wont blow up but just gain pressure. If you dont put the lid on it will just make a fountain of pop which is kind of cool but not 3 dollars cool.

Yeah dry ice is crazy, Ive never done it but I saw this video about it. <a href="http://www.lookatentertainment.com/v/v-1038.htm">Dry Ice Video</a> Watch the whole movie though the funny part is at the end.

Theres a show kind of thing that these guys put on just with mentos. Look it up on youtube or something. Its cool.

Yea I hav'nt tried this yet. I have however made a really loud explosion with bi-carb soda and vineger. Took over 3 hours to gain enough pressure.
