During my years as a teen, with limitless wisdom (please pick up on the sarcasm), I used to proclaim that soda (pop, coke) was killing America. It is just "not good for us to drink all that gas" (affectionately known as carbonation). It has to do so much damage to our digestive system.
I vowed I wouldn't drink soda any longer...that lasted a long time (pass me a Mt. Dew!).
It is amazing what happens when you combine a 2 litter of Diet Coke and half a pack of Mentos. You have to check this out. Extreme Diet Coke & Mentos Experiments
And we wonder why we have issues like stomach ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome and stomach cancer.
Let me know how your experiments go (you know you can't wait to try this!) and have a good one!
