Create light with Mentos and Mountain Dew A- 15:52

Systm is the Do-It-Yourself show designed for the common geek who wants to quickly and easily learn how to dive into the latest and hottest tech projects. They will help you avoid pitfalls and get your project up and running fast. In this DIY episode, see how to create light with Mentos and Mountain Dew.

3 clever hacks: save on gas, use Mentos and Mt. Dew to create an emergency light and a way to harness the power of photons to create free energy.

As we all know Mentos and Diet Coke have a rather explosive effect. Hundreds of videos document that phenomenon. In today's episode of Systm we're showing off one of Mentos' even more amazing (but lesser known) abilities. It seems certain ingredients in another popular soft drink, when combined with Mentos, produces a luminescent glow. In fact there's enough light to actually read a book under. Think of it as an emergency light!

HOAX!! it does not work. not with Mentos, not with hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. Mountain Dew does not glow in the dark, it only eats away at your teeth and magically makes kids hyper and obease. Not such a great trick.

Not bad at all. I'm really impressed with the guides for making miniatures on this site. I may end up making the Hobbit house with my son for his school when the new movie comes out.
