 EPISODE TITLE: Episode 57: Mentos and Soda, Stamp Tailspin ORIGINAL AIR DATE: 8/9/2006 SYNOPSIS: Adam and Jamie are trying to figure out the theory behind the chaos when diet cola and Mentos mix. Inspired by an internet phenomenon, the MythBusters take on the controversy surrounding these fizzy fountains. Adam and Jamie pit soda against soda and candy against candy to find the perfect cocktail for their explosive exploits. Meanwhile Kari, Tory and Grant are going postal with an aeronautical myth. Can posting a postage stamp on the rotor blades send a helicopter into a tailspin? A 45-cent stamp versus a $1.3 million machine: it's a David and Goliath story that could leave the MythBusters with a very hefty repair bill. Get more on the experiment at www.EepyBird.com. | |

I have not seen this episode in a while, but if I remember correctly, Adam asked if the Mentos and soda trick could be done with other candies and soda. I am here to tell you that it can. Recently, my 9 year old son decided that it would taste good to add orange flavored Tic-Tac mints to the Sprite that I had just bought him. I didn't say no, because I wasn't even thinking that the same thing would happen. Well, I was very wrong. From the back seat of my van I hear a very loud, "Dad!!!" come from my son. I looked in the rear view mirror to see Sprite shooting up out of the bottle, and him trying to stop it. It was one of the funniest things I have ever seen. While we were cleaning up the van, and him, I told him about the Mentos and soda trick being shown on the show and he said that I needed to write in and tell about our experience. So there you have it.
