Low MPG: The Mentos And Coke Powered Car

Note: Video is after the jump because that Coke gets sticky and I don't want to ruin your blazer (you look great by the way).

This is a video made by the original Mentos and Coke guys featuring a Mentos and Coke powered rocket car. Minus the rockets. And the car. It's more like a tricycle for grownups. Whatever the case, the thing's powered by 108 two-liters of Coke Zero and 648 Mentos (God, tell me you didn't use all strawberries). How far does it go? YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO WATCH TO FIND OUT!

Hit the jump for the WHEEEEEEEE!! Whee! Whee?
