my God...it's full of fizz!

StrangeTikiGod

That was the best nerdgasm I've had in awhile.

jawzxy

Finally ultra-slow motion available for the porn industrie !!

I can only dream about what sites with the keyword "cum" can do with that...

TallDudeFromBrazil

I really can't believe I enjoyed that as much as I did.

BigDogues

@kaneshadow: I was wondering this myself. A little research shows it is probably powdered gelatin, since that or gum arabic are both probable factors in the whole chemical shebang.

Powdered gum arabic isn't exactly a household staple, though, so it's probably Knox gelatin or something.

PipeRifle

The 4th frame was a test using salt as a nucleation source, it didn't work very well, alas.

MadOverlord

Pure art.

11hawkinst

what's the 4th frame? Powdered mentos?

kaneshadow

::slow clap::

that's one of the greatest (and most socially redeeming) videos I've ever seen posted on Youtube.

kaneshadow

At first I was like O_O, but then I lol'd. :D

mgoldman89

I so want one of these cameras.

Stang70Fastback

Oh. My. God.

NcSchu

@MadOverlord:
Next time the powdered plutonium might work better.

GiltProto

That was beautiful.

kzooguy

Ok and thank you google

Imagine if you managed to screw the cap back on the bottle before the Mentos too affect ?

fastmike

Impressive ...but may I ask What Mentos are ?

fastmike

"pure art."... Where I cum from we call that the money shot!...

sfokevin

Wow. His music source is so easy to steal music from. It's $35 per song, but download the sample song, which is an mpu file (mpu files stream music from an mp3 source; so it is grabbing the mp3 file from somewhere and streaming it to you) and change the extension from ".mpu" to ".txt" and it shows you the source of the mp3. Copy/paste into url, and there you go, your free $35 dollar song.

bana

I love the huge blobs of foam near the end.

iamxyj

Everyone talks about how dark the 600/1200FPS video was on this camera, but all of the videos that I've seen were indoors. When it's shot in full sun (like this video), it isn't dark at all.

schwnj

I can't believe I smiled so much over this. Perfection in something so simple is what life is all about.

Kaiser-Machead

That is the single most greatest video to have been conceived.

Trowble (XBL/PSN)

mentos are these pills that improve your mentation and allow you to come up witty solutions to everyday conundrums. Like the time before a job interview when I sat on a freshly painted bench. I popped a mentos and ended up rolling on the bench to make the pattern even. Boss didnt even notice.

redkamel

Anyone else notice in the video 2nd from the left, at about 44 seconds remaining, the giant wang and balls that form as the stream is dropping?

karmaghost

@fastmike: The effect wouldn't be any different than say adding dry ice to water and tightening. The point at which the pressure makes the bottle burst doesn't change.

BoinK

@fastmike: Mentos = Mintos, A chewable mint.

Theophilus P. Wildebeeste

Loved the video.

Somehow, I think the Bolero by Ravel would have made for more appropriate music, though.

papaguru

HAPPY DIRTY HUMOR TIME !!!

why do i get the feeling the porn industry is going to see this video and think, "Hm, maybe it's time to invest in new equipment."

Ow, the artist things they'll do with that camera.

taciturnforsale

That. Was. So. Aw. Some.

theMockingNoob

@taciturnforsale:

Just what I was thinking. A 3 minute long cum shot sounds fantastic....

Oh and the video is fantastic....how do you make powered mentos? Freeze them first? They don't seem to work as well....

LindsayJoy

Wow was that beautiful!
The best thing to watch after sitting back, work done, with a frosty glass of Lager.

Nice yard in the background, too.

strider_mt2k

sweet

Paul

@bana: or you could just grab a torrent. i think the idea is that $35 buys you a license to play that in your youtube video.

notatoad

@strider_mt2k: Nice yard in the background, too.

All credit for that goes to my wife, who is, as they say, very much the mistress of her domain.

@notatoad: the music is "buyout", which means you can use it in just about anything, such as background music, as many times as you want, you just can't resell it as the music alone.

MadOverlord

wow, i thought mythbuster gave me the answers, i was wrong.

Amiash is dyslexic

@karmaghost:

Actually, yes. Perhaps that means we are gay.

rochec

Super slo mo will never catch on in the pron industry. Two words: Ron Jeremy

Gary_7vn

Two girls, a bottle of soda and Mentos

All I'm saying

Gadgetgirl

That's how I look when my wife ++++End Transmission++++

PlasmaMachine

I think its the music that pulls all this together. Makes everything more... majestic. But even without it its still pretty cool.

knyghtryda

wow.. i want one of those too...

minjae0810

Nice... I really want that cam... but I dunno if I'd produce such awesome vids with it.

Bokusatsu_Tenshi

All the vids remind me of Peter North!

EdRocker

That actually is really cool. The first Mentos/Diet Coke video that I can say that about.

bms

thar she blows!

discounteggroll

I want mentos in a timred release capsule in the bottle. Then close the bottle as tight as possible. joy

thegoonie

I feel really bad admitted this but as cool as this is I couldn't help but be reminded of tubgirl. At least I haven't forgotten everything from college.

Optimus-Prime

Wonderful work. Question: is the beautiful music Johann Strauss' 1864 Blue Danube ( An der schönen blauen Donau), i.e. the piece used in the _2001: A Space Odyssey_ docking sequence? If so, odd of the Coke-Mentos filmmaker not crediting the composer (and instead crediting some production house which likely produced a recording 130+ years later)

bazzers

Soda Pr0n.

SigmundTheSeaMonster

awsome. Yeah mentos or closed dry ice explosion would be cool.

isaacws

On the 3rd one, why the hell is the guy pulling away wasting the precious Mentos?? The stream would have been so much bigger! So lame...

rougheo

@bazzers: About crediting the actual music, I just figured everyone would know it was The Blue Danube; same goes for the William Tell Overture in the other video (aka The Lone Ranger Theme). Plus I was a little tight on space...

@isaacws: A dry-ice pressure failure on a bottle would probably not be that interesting because it would fail so fast (the rupture would propagate very quickly), plus it would be dangerous to video.

I have a test video somewhere of dropping a brick on a flowerpot; the brittle failure of the pot takes 1 frame at 1200fps to propagate around the pot.

MadOverlord

holy hell in a diet coke bottle.

rimplestultskin

I'd kind of like to see someone film dice stacking or cup stacking in super slow motion.

BulkHedd

@PipeRifle: um, I believe, and I may be incorrect, but I'm pretty sure that this is not really a chemical reaction at all, but a physical one. The CO2 uses the many microscopic nooks and crannies on the surface of the Mentos as nucleation sites around which bubbles form from cavitation. Doesn't matter what the chemical composition of the surface is - if it shares that nookie-ness then it will exhibit the same behavior.

ps61318

@karmaghost: (sheepishly) Yeah, I saw it too.

ps61318

@MadOverlord: classic and beautifully filmed, madoverlord. You are talented my friend.

washwords

@bana: uhh, given that it's "blue danube" circa several HUNDRED years ago, I'm kinda thinking it's public domain. but great "recon" ;)
