Diet Coke & Mentos on the beach.

The original Diet Coke and Mentos video was one of the first viral YouTube videos. And not many people know that these Eepy Bird guys are from Maine.

Check out their YouTube channel for lots of other wacky ‘experiments.’

So it was very exciting to find this kit. And try it out on the beach at Wadsworth Cove in Castine. Our mistake was just using one mento. But now we know you need lots more.

And look, you can even reuse the mentos!!

Here’s the science behind the explosion.

First beach day.

Birch Point State Park, first beach day.

Mere days ago, the temperature rose and the sun shone.

And the mist hovered.

The perfect combination of elements for trying out new beach gear.

And making new footprints in this year’s sand. Yes, we do have sand in Maine.
