 * A WHOLE BUNCH OF MENTOS **

=**ABSTRACT **= The purpose of the experiment was to find if the type of plastic soda bottle affected the results of the Mentos explosion. The hypothesis for this experiment was that the Diet Coke bottle would work best. The reason this is chosen to be the hypothesis is because the Diet Coke is the one soda that was able to reach 9 meters high in the Mentos and soda experiment. It seemed like a reasonable hypothesis to make. The way the experiment was done, the method, was by first taking the Diet Coke and making it explode from a Mentos and Diet Coke explosion. Then the Diet Coke was poured into the other bottles, the sprite and diet ginger-ale. Finally the Mentos were dropped into the other bottle creating nothing which was very odd. It was amazing how the normal one only went 1.49 meters when the world record was 9 meters. Also because of this made a second experiment about a way to pour the soda into a different bottle without allowing the soda to fizz.

=**THE EXPERIMENTAL IMPROVEMENTS AND FUTURE EXPERIMENTS** = The only way to get the experiment to be improved would be to find a way for the Diet Coke to get into the other bottles without being poured. A few future experiments would be to find out why exactly the Mentos and Diet Coke geyser does not work when the Diet Coke is poured into another bottle, and to see if there is a way to pour Diet Coke into a different bottle without it fizzing.
