First Geyser Tube Now Available – Powered by Mentos
We’re excited about the official launch of our new Spangler Geyser Tube. Think of it as the perfect Mentos loading device to trigger a 30 foot geyser of soda. Just load the Mentos candies into the tube, lock the nozzle in place and pull the pin. Okay, it’s bes
t to pull the pin and then run away. The Mentos drop into the bottle triggering the reaction and the powerful soda geyser comes shooting out the top with enough pressure to reach an incredible height of 30 feet. Onlookers scream, “Do it again!”… and you do.
The Geyser Tube retails for $4.95 and is currently only available at www.SteveSpanglerScience.com However, as a result of our licensing agreement with the maker of Mentos (Perfetti Van Melle), the Spangler Geyser Tube will be released into mass market distribution (all of the major toy stores, print catalogs and online stores) in June 2007.
I really can’t imagine if someone gulps coke into their mouth while chewing a mentos. Maybe the stomach or lungs might just explode.
Wow, I can’t believe a device like this actually exists. Pretty funny, actually. It’s easy enough to rig your own but I guess for five bucks this is a pretty good device. And you’re right about onlookers screaming, “Do it again!”
Granted it is easy enough to find a way to drop the mentos into the soda for a fun blast, but the Geyser Tube device offers a consistent drop for those who are experimenting with variables.
