Diet Coke Rocket

Good night out last night. Crap football match, but good result and great atmosphere in a crowded "Sports Bar". Met up with an ex-work colleague that I hadn't seen for a while, more drinking at Rigby's then lager and curry at Shah's and a Taxi home.

Tuning in to Radio 4's Today program on the way into work this morning they were reporting on the "latest craze that's sweeping the internet". Apparently to make a rocket or fountain that shoots up to 40 feet into the air all you need is a bottle of diet coke and a packet of mentos (other sweeties will do, but mentos are supposed to be the best).

One to try at home I think (or perhaps in the Park).
