We’ve all had these sorts of ideas — you know, the ones that seem like really bad ideas that are, in fact, really bad ideas. There is that sort of grade school level epiphany one gets the first time they realize that Mentos dropped in Coca Cola will fizz up into something fierce. It’s strange. It’s empowering. It’s dumb. That’s the thing with humans though. When a concept is odd and really stupid, there is a sort of incalculable allure that goes beyond logic. I can’t say that this was the case for YouTube user Hajime, but I’m willing to give him a solid if it is.
For Hajime, the idea of dropping a Mentos in a cup of Coke is small time. What you really need to do is fill an entire bathtub with Coca Cola, strap Mentos to any part of your body that they will stick to, and then leap into said Coke bath in one giant splash. This is science at its finest people. I don’t want to ruin the outcome of this experiment for you, but I will say it’s the most unique bubble bath I believe I’ve ever seen. What’s that saying about not s@#$ing where you eat? I think that somewhat applies to this.
Enjoy. The desire to shower after watching is understandable.
