Shoots upto 30ft! |
Conducting crackpot experiments with everyday items is one of life's great pleasures. When you're ten. If you're still carrying out half-baked 'research' with helium balloons, baking soda and old chemistry sets past the age of fifteen, you really should take a long hard look at yourself. And once you've done that you should buy the spectacularly infantile Geyser Tube.
Pull the pin and run Simply load the mints in this screw-on transparent tube, lock it on your plastic pop bottle (any fizzy drink will do but diet stuff works best) and pull the pin. Oh yes, and run for it. Because the moment the sweets hit the liquid, a powerful soda geyser erupts from the top with enough pressure to reach 30ft - yes, 30ft! And thanks to this ingenious little gizmo you'll get a perfect launch every time without getting drenched. 
If you're wondering what all this mints-in-pop hullabaloo is about, you're obviously new to the interweb. Videos of idiots (and we mean that in the nicest possible way) performing this scientific feat sans Geyser Tube have been circulating amongst awe-struck idiots across the globe for some time.

I did have a good bottle of diet coke that it would have worked really well with, but i tipped it over on the first go :(. The second time, i was using mints that were too big, and they got stuck. But then it was third time lucky, and i shook the tube the mints fell in and hey presto, you've got yourself a cola geyser! and sorry i was gonna edit it and make it all fancy but windows movie maker didnt support the file type that my camera used so i had to use the raw video

I haven't bought this yet, but I have a question: I've watched some videos and seen that it eventually falls to the side, so if you were stood in the right place would you be able to drink it?Karis, - 24th October 2010
Firebox says: We wouldn't advise that, Karis.
I ordered one of these last night, can't wait! It goes really high. I want to test the difference in height between Diet Coke And Coke Zero. These are brilliant!JG, Scotland - 30th August 2010
Brill item for use in the garden! Shame it accidentally blew up in my Mum's kitchen on first attempt! Gonna try and combine six or so next time with some help from copper piping. Six bottles into one spout! Look out 100ft!Simon, Alfreton - 13th April 2010
I, m going to get my Brother to do this in his livingroom on Christmas day ha ha ha He will Laugh so much!!!Dean, Leicestershire, UK - 5th December 2009
Well! This is good! I just used to put a whole packet of Mentos in the top but this is much better but I think its not as fun as dropping in a packet into a bottle of diet cola. SOOOOO ORIGINAL AND FUN.Matty, Hull - 2nd September 2009
I had a volcano making task to do at school, so how to explode it? GEYSER TUBE! Rap up the coke bottle in a picture of a volcano, bish bash bosh and your volcano is done! Then I exploded it and it went off the camera it was so high. Everyone was impressed and I got some house points for it as well. Great buy, even better buy when you have to make a volcano explode!Haris, London - 9th December 2008
Wow! A great buy, at first I thought it would just be a little spurt of coke.... Boy was I wrong! I bought about 5 cokes and 5 Mentos packets.
I LOVE IT, A MUST BUY!!!
ps. I said to my mate "look down the tube it might be blocked". He looked down I pulled the pin HA!
Lets just say he wasn't thirsty afterwards.James Randall, Stockton-on-tees - 16th July 2008
It is amazing. Everything is about a reaction called nucleation. The mints have hundreds of tiny pits on them. When dropped in the coke the pits (also called nucleation sides) let all the carbondioxide change into bubbles the pressure goes up and the coke and carbon dioxide shoot up. Oh and it does not have to be coke try some other soft drinks but coke is the best!Sven Leidenbach, Harwell - 19th April 2008
I will tell you what not to do with this: take it into your local KFC, buy a family bucket, get a free coke put the geyser in. Load it, pull the cord, aim it at the cashier. He gets covered, he also gets the manager and you get a lifetime ban and the dude stole my geyser so I just got another and got banned from a different 1 :).Luke Taylor, Stratford - 9th April 2008
Firebox says: Not cool Luke but you gotta do what you gotta do!
I bought the geyser tube and tried it with tesco value cola and mint imperials. Works really well and saves alot of money! It great fun and you still get an amazing height!Andrew, Belfast - 31st October 2007
