Jan. 17th, 2007 04:08 pm Extreme Diet Coke & Mentos Experiments II - The Domino Effect


Extreme Diet Coke & Mentos Experiments II - The Domino Effect
"Extreme Diet Coke & Mentos Experiments II - The Domino Effect" on Google Video
The guys from EepyBird are back, with 251 bottles of Diet Coke and over 1,500 Mentos mints. In Experiment #137, they did a mint-powered version of the Bellagio fountains. This time, it's one giant Coke & Mentos chain reaction that has to be seen to be believed.

Dear Santa...

Dear Santa,

This year I've been busy!

In August I pulled [info]ceallachdon's hair (-5 points). Last Thursday I caught a purse-snatcher who stole [info]stongbad2050's purse (30 points). Last Sunday I broke [info]lizzytard's X-Box (-12 points). Last Wednesday I pulled over and changed [info]zipzilla's flat tire (15 points). In September I gave [info]billyhate a kidney (1000 points).

Overall, I've been nice (1028 points). For Christmas I deserve a red Radio-Flyer wagon!

Sincerely,
gamergranny

You Are Italian Food

Comforting yet overwhelming.
People love you, but sometimes you're just too much.
