      Hey Jacob!

      The Coke and Mentos experiment is awesome. You can also learn a lot from it about some of the processes that happen during explosive volcanic eruptions. I usually just try and get the biggest possible eruption though, like the picture in my profile. You have to be careful though – I once tried to use too many Mentos and ended up with a face full of Coke!

      I can honestly say I’ve never tried this, but it is definitely on the ‘To do’ list!
