I knew ONE of you Vegas guys would beat me to that! Funny, the Bellagio fountains were the first thing I thought of, too. That link got passed on. Thanks, DB!

I keep thinking I'm going to do that at home to amaze the neighborhood kids. Man that's cool.

Sorry Vegas, but we got you beat with the gusher at the Phoenix suburb of Fountain Hills. At 560 feet, you can eat our spray.....

That was hilarious. I enjoyed their link to the Pepsi Girl's experiment as well. Gasp

I laughed so hard at the British Girl's Pepsi-and-Mentos burp clip that I'm fairly sure I've got a window seat on the express train to hell.

Simply thrilled to see that Diet Coke & Mentos experiment here. I've been catching up on emails, and therein was a link to that from a friend who always sends kooky things. I saved it, intending to share with you good folks. I should have assumed, absolutely, that it would be here already. Hilarious!

I believe we are observing the new trend in advertising: viral videos. Mentos spends $20 million in advertising each year and this campaign...er, phenomenon is estimated to have given them $10 million in advertising benefit.

Hey, but it's fun to watch, and do.
