We made Diet Coke & Mentos history in Cincinnati with a big splash! In May 2007, with the help of about 500 people equipped with Mentos loading tubes, 504 geysers went flying all at the same time - the first official Guinness World Record for Diet Coke & Mentos! The friendly folks at Mentos made this video of the event - and it's amazing!

Thanks to all the folks in Cincinnati and to Mentos for all their help. Making such a huge fountain in Fountain Square was too much fun!

But what's happened since? First, some folks in Texas broke the record, doing 791 geysers. So we went to Holland (the home of Mentos) and got the record back. Check out the video of the new record!

How Does it Work?
