Weer'd - you know, I didn't even think about that, but you're right. Nothing like walking through a sticky spill and dealing with that rippy/sticky shoe thing.
Flier - I've never really looked into the reason why it is always diet Coca Cola that seems to be used. I'm sure the Mentos simply cause a rapid release of the CO2, which should work with Seltzer and be a lot less messy. I typed that, then did a little reading and, apparently the aspartame and potassium benzoate in the diet soda has a significant part to play in the reaction. So, maybe not.
bet that track was crazy sticky until the next heavy rain!
ReplyDeleteHA! Wonder if seltzer water would of worked better?
