I know that the ‘dedicated’ web surfers among you are already scoffing at how late I’ve found these latest viral videos, but the reason I decided to post them was because I was thinking of a comment that a comedian made about how the Internet is important: “there are people dying to see videos of Mentos mints turning Coke bottles into volcanoes.”

So these guys (EepyBird.com) took the whole Mentos in Diet Coke thing and ran with it. Very far. To the point of entertainment, 3 minutes at a time. They actually have quite a few videos of them conducting ‘experiments’ with Coke and Mentos mints. And while their source materials are free, courtesy of their manufacturers, the exposure they (both) gain is tremendous (wonder what kind of $ they make…).

So onto the important stuff, the videos! They’ve got more than this, but I liked the ones where they did a whole Bellagio water fountain thing and then a cascading dominoes show.

What do you mean the Internet isn’t good for anything?
