Mentos Fountain Launch

On Aug. 22, 2009, thousands of Missourians launched 2,211 fountains powered by Mentos and soda in an attempt to break the world record for such an event. Volunteers, including University of Missouri Extension 4-H kids, took part in the event that also provided a valuable science lesson.
