@jtrebowski: well, there are way more effective and stable mixtures. But the ones I know are highly toxic and are not as easy to make at home.

panth753 - Yes, but mentos vs (I think diet) coke works the best, some people tried it and the reactions that they got were a lot less impressive than the original. |

Ahhh the screaming gummy. My chemistry teacher loved this, did it like once every couple of months and managed to make it sound like it was actually screaming. |
