Coke Light and Mentos

Many of you might have seen the ever popular videos on YouTube of what happens when you mix Mentos with Diet Coke. So the Italians have seen these videos and wondered how it worked. So before we went to Francesco's house on the Med, we stopped by the supermercato to pick up some food. When we were at the drinks, Massimo was holding a bottle of Coke Light (we don't have "Diet" Coke here) and asks me "is Coke Light the same thing as Diet Coke in America". And I was like, "I don't know but I prefer regular coke". Massimo then said "Have you seen the mentos thing?" My thought was, "YES! LET'TRY IT!" Actually my 31 year old sister (yes 31 year old adult) had already done the trick and so I wanted to see it, too. It didn't work this time but this video documents the fun we had messing up. Actually my sister gave me the proper directions for the next time cause yes there will be a next time. :)
