About The Domino Effect: Overview
In this teaser for The Extreme Diet Coke & Mentos Experiments II: The Domino Effect, you can see the entire crazy set up before we set it all off. Over 250 bottles of Diet Coke are loaded with Mentos and linked together, ready to explode.
When one geyser shoots up, it knocks a cup off the top, and that pulls a string that triggers the next geyser. So just like dominos, we just start the first one, and the rest is Coke & Mentos history!
Once you’ve seen the setup, watch Experiment #214 to see the entire thing go crazy.
