Science Team Explains Why Mentos + Coke = Whoosh!
You should, by now, be very familiar with the Mentos and Coke explosion effect. After all, we've even shown how to make your own booby trap version. But did you know that parts of the science behind it were a mystery? Until now, that is. A physics team at Appalachian State University did a whole range of tests, varying the substance dropped in from Fruit Mentos to dishwasher detergent and checking all the Coke types. Serious science stuff. More »

Desk-Sized Coca-Cola Robots Don't Dispense Drinks, Human Kindness
These scaled-down replicas of walking coke dispensers found on the streets of Japan would be cute additions to anyone's desk. As well as the black Coke Zero model above, there's a regular version, and they come in the most fabulous of retro boxes. They were available on eBay, but it looks like they're currently sold out. Perhaps it's worth contacting the seller to see if he's going to import any more. Gallery, including a picture of one the life-sized vending machines, after the jump. More »

coke and mentos
Here's what you do when you're a student in the Belgian town of Leuven. You don a blue plastic poncho alongside 1,499 undergraduates, all standing in line at very long table, on which is placed a bottle of Diet Coke and a Mento. On the count of three, having raised your hood, you drop the mint in the plastic bottle, and 1,500 fountains of sticky drink erupt simultaneously. More pics below. Update: We've stuck a video up there, as well.

We have a brand new Y7 Toughbook laying around the apartment, which Panasonic claims can handle six ounces of liquid poured right into the keyboard. We decided to put some of your answers to the test. More »

Vending Machine Red
For those of us who haven't yet seen the series, Vending Machine Red is a new super hero who appeared after an inopportune mutation. In each action-packed episode, Vending Machine Red might not always save the Earth, but just know that hecould if needed. Let's face it—Tuesday is a lost workday for you anyway, so you might as well spend some time on the old GooTube JP watching a vending machine action show.

Coke: The Most Dangerous Fuel
Colas such as Coke are a popular form of fuel for the sitting-in-front-of-a-computer-all-day set, but what exactly does the magical elixir do to our engines? You'll probably want to take the straw out of your mouth before reading further.In The First 10 minutes: 10 teaspoons of sugar hit your system. (100% of your recommended daily intake.) You don't immediately vomit from the overwhelming sweetness because phosphoric acid cuts the flavor allowing you to keep it down.More »

One of those America-hating, hippie organizations going by the name of SWAMP (Studies of Work Atmosphere and Mass Production) created a robot called Coke Is It that is programmed to kill itself. Good message to send to the kids out there, SWAMP. The robot is programmed to find puddles of Coca-Cola (you know, the big, faceless corporation that's sucking all the mako out of the planet) on the floor then suck it up using an electric pump. Then, the robots sprays itself with the Coke and the acidic nature of the Earth-killing soft drink eats away at the robot's "skin." After the skin is sufficiently worn away, Coke finds its way into the robot's circuitry, leading to its "death." Very subtle metaphor, fellas, as the video demonstrates. More »
