Lovely little video, I wish I had the time and energy to put together displays like this one. :-)

And then there's this hot British(?) gal out to dispel the "myth" of Mentos and cola.

All Things Considered interviewed Fritz Grobe and Stephen Voltz (the creators of the Bellagio spectacle) on last night's show. They spent more than $500 on the supplies, and liken it to one of those things where you only have one chance, "... like filming blowing up a building".



"It was very much a dance." And they're working on something "bigger and better and higher", so stay tuned. :-)

Spectacular. I've tried that with LiveSavers and seltzer water and never got a result near as cool.

And what do a couple of hundred liters of Coke cost? That was a pricey little display.
