1,500 coke geysers

As published in The Straits Times
06 Aug 2010

By Lester Kok

BILLED as the Great Singapore Mass Activity, the record-breaking event saw 1,430 Cola-Mentos geysers fired up into the sky, all at once, on Friday.

The effort by the students, teachers and alumni of Punggol Secondary School was good enough for the Singapore Book of Records - for creating the most number of simultaneous Cola-Mentos geysers here.

The educational aim: To create more awareness of science. All the participants had to do was to drop Mentos sweets into a 1.5 litre bottle of diet cola.

The result was a metre-tall fountain which lasted about three seconds.

Discovered about 10 years ago, the cola-geyser has been experimented on by various people, from television hosts to scientists.

Invited to explain the science behind the cola-geyser phenomenon at the event, was Associate Professor David Lee Butler from the Nanyang Technological University, who said that Mentos, which has many microscopic holes on its surface, when dropped into cola, provides a good surface for bubbles to form easily.

Cola Geysers in Punggol! (06 Aug 10)

See Youtube video of a 504 geysers exploding in Cincinnati, Ohio. Now, imagine 1,500 of them going off simultaneously.

As a proud resident of Punggol, you do not want to miss this exciting event happening right at your doorstep!

1,500 Cola-Mentos will shoot out to the sky like fireworks this Friday at Punggol Secondary School.

We would like to invite you, on behalf of the Science Centre Singapore, to be a part of the exciting event- the Great Singapore Mass Activity.

Organised by Science Centre Singapore and A*STAR, around 1,500 participants will gather together at Punggol Secondary School. to create Cola-Mentos Geysers and get an entry into the Singapore Book of Records.

The simple experiment merely involves dropping a stick of Mentos into a bottle of Cola, but the effect is nothing short of stunning: an approximately 2.0m tall fountain/geyser.

The Great Singapore Mass Activity is part of the Singapore Science Festival, which aims to encourage people to “KNOW WHY” and promote a habit for learning the science behind everyday occurrences.
