So what is it? 1 two-liter & 4 regular mentos?

Someone I work w/ said they heard to drill a small hole in the middle of the mentos...?

to get a nice high thin stream you need a small hole in the cap.
but in order to get teh mentos into the soda without having to screw the cap on you have to drill a hole in the mentos and string them together.
then you thread the string thru the cap.
you have to suspend the mentos above the soda.
then whe you release the string the mentos drop in.

I'll stick to my much louder draino and aluminum mini bombs. Throw one of those in the sewer and you could hear the explosion 2 blocks away.
