Pretty funny.

But why Diet Coke, why not regular?

You guys need to check out the Discovery Channel sometime, Mythbusters did something simular...rock salt works better though (they tried a few things before coming to this conclusion).

Where else can you find out if dynamite will de-cement a cement truck (or blow it up so you're only left with the dark shadow on the ground)? Oh, where can you do this and NOT be arrested, I should say.

I think you use diet coke so it will go further. It's lighter.

My only complaint was the Disturbed song. I mean, it's a little hyperbolic for what they were doing. It's not like they were mixing their own black powder rocket. Or riding a mountain bike. Y'know, doing something really cool. All they were doing was making a mess with soda. That's not really getting down with the sickness, in my opinion.

But, looks like fun. I think it'd be a good idea to use this on the next climb Killa. I want video. And put two mentos in there. Don't be cheap.

Or at least put the Benny Hill music on it. And you should be chasing a blonde up the climb.
