If any consistent
trait persists in the St Clair family (the East Helena variety) down through
the generations, it is an affinity for explosions and soft-edged mayhem.
Not long ago, a
member of the latest generation of St Clair boys, Cooper, saw a video of someone
dropping Mentos mints into an open bottle of Diet Coke. If you have somehow missed one of these
videos in your internet travels, an eruption of some magnitude is the result.
Yesterday, as a
few of us met at the lakeshore, Cooper wanted to try his own hand at dropping some
Mentos into a Diet Coke. Posted are two
photographs of the resultant geyser.
Cooper, by the time I captured the images, had scampered off to a distance. You can see his father, Tad, standing in the
background.
I have also
posted a short video explaining what causes the Coke to spout into a geyser.
