William, Noel and Heather... and the Science Fair Project

William, his girlfriend Noel (on right) and friend Heather (on left) got together this past sunday to complete a Science Fair Project. Their experiment was to see which made a larger explosion... Mint or Fruit Mentos in Diet Coke. The answer was the Mint. The reason is the mint has a more pourous surface while the fruit has a coating. So the reaction is more rapid in the mint mentos, making the gas release faster and therefore the explosion is bigger.

The deer liked the diet coke snow!
