Soda fountain

Applied Physicist Dan Blair appeared on NECN to explain what happens when Mentos, those tiny candy mints, meets Diet Coke (NECN)

The visual result of this unusual combo - a spectacular fountain of carbonated sugar water catapulting into the sky - has become a phenomenon on the web. While perhaps lacking in any true application, the simple event may inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers - or confection makers.

The video of Dan and the fountain in action is no longer available on the host website.
