Who said mixing Mentos and Diet Coke was only an outdoor only sport? When the show management at the Javits Center found out that I wanted to launch 2-liter soda geysers on the floor of the trade show at Toy Fair, they responded with a New York “no way”. The solution was to build 18 foot clear plastic tubes to contain the eruption. That’s the first hurdle. Now all we need to do is to move 480 bottles of diet soda into the Be Amazing Toys booth. The show opens in less than 12 hours.

A soda pop geyser is a reaction that occurs when you drop MENTOS chewy mints into a bottle of soda. In this case, we use Diet Coke. You’ll find lots more information than you ever wanted below…
