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.

Happy New Year Everyone!

Just a tiny glimpse of yesterday’s storm.

In Maine, the bright, sunny days that come when a storm departs are always amazing!

3,000 miles of rocky coast, clean water, and the large tidal flow make Maine very seaweed friendly.

Seaweed is a $7-billion global industry. It’s used for food, fertilizer, chemicals, even medicine. Maine’s entrepreneurs are taking notice.

As if lobster wars weren’t enough, now the seaweed battles have begun.
