Dr. Mills' Great Experiment

Make a huge mess with just some fizzy pop and a packet of mints!

Why not try this at home? Make sure you do this outside. Please!

All you need is:
A 2 litre bottle of fizzy drink
A packet of Mentos or similar chewy mint
An empty tube from a pack of Smarties
A piece of plastic (like a credit card or driving licence)

What you do:
1. Open the bottle of fizzy drink 2. Put the mints inside the Smarties tube
3. Place the piece of plastic over the end and turn the tube over (so that the mints will drop out when you whip away the piece of plastic)
4. Position the tube with the mints over the top of the bottle 5. Whip away the bit of plastic so the mints fall straight into the bottle at high speed.
6. Stand back and marvel at the result!
