I need help. I am giving a presentation in my college chemistry class and want to explain this chemical reaction but don't want to either dumb it down too much or take it over the non chem major's heads. Can you help?

I just did this experiment with a student of mine using (2) 2 liter bottles of Diet Coke and 7 each of mint mentos and fruit mentos. I only got 3 of the fruit mentos into the bottle before it started erupting. My associate was able to get 5 mint mentos into her bottle. We found that the fruit mentos starting erupting around the same time (maybe even earlier) as the mint but that the mint gave a stronger (higher) reaction.

why do you think the mythbusters read topix? I doubt it. You kids are so funny. Go to the Mythbusters website if you want to leave them a message.

Daily Horoscope for June 4

Taurus

Get involved in financial transactions at your peril under today's Lunar Eclipse, because certain people will use them as a stick to beat you with. For instance, if you ask someone to lend you money they'll either make you feel guilty about it or dredge up all sorts of past instances when their trust was betrayed. You would also be well advised to avoid any show of possessiveness or jealousy, even if you feel it, unless you truly don't care about the disastrous outcome.
