Coke-mentos experiment

Yo dudes,

Ystd some crazy stuff happened, so I’ll write about that.

Firstly, went to Bukit Batok, my old neighbourhood. Went there at 3.30. Played soccer with Karthik in the street soccer court. Then went to the badminton court and played badminton with him. All the while I had been waiting for Surya who said that he would come at 3. Finally, he arrived at 5 30. He was freaking 2 and a half hour late.

Then Ridzwan came too and joined us in playing badminton. The crazy part of the day came when Surya wanted to do the Coke-mentos experiment. I and Ridz went to buy the cokes while Surya and Karthik tied the mentoses to a string. I accidentally bought a 330ml can instead of 500ml bottle. I also bought a big coke zero bottle too. So in the in end we had one 330ml can, 500ml bottle, and 1.5L bottle. So we conducted 3 part experiment.

Coke mentos experiment – Part I
Hypothesis: No idea
Method: 1) Tie 3 mentos in a string.
2) Slowly open the 500ml bottle and put the half of the string and the mentos inside
3) Cap the bottle. (The string is now stuck between the cap and bottle while the mentos stays untouched by the coke.)
4) Overturn the bottle.
Result: Epic failure.

Coke mentos experiment Part II
Hypothesis: Hope to get a fountain.
Method: 1) Tie 6 mentos in a string.
2) Open the 1.5L bottle’s cap.
3) Drop the mentos inside.
Result: Woohoo success.

Coke mentos experiment Part III
Hypothesis: No brain so can’t think of any
Method: 1) Open the Coke can.
2) Put mentos one by one.
Result: Not sure if it was a success or not.

(Here's the compilation of the 2nd and 3rd part)


After spoiling the whole area there, I decided to leave. Then Surya and Karthik stopped me and Ridz and asked us to join them burn sparklers to celebrate Deepavali. So we decided to stay for a little while. So they both brought down the sparklers and also yet another stupid idea. They decided to collect the gunpowder or whatever that is from a few sparklers, bundle them up in a paper and set it afire. I’ll show the video later.

Bye pals.

&. I lead the way .
