Thread: Mento mints & Cola

I've just made a rocket using the reaction between mento mints and coca cola. Lifted up to three and a half feet

good.
Now you will surely win nobel prize in chemistry

Just another 499,996.5 ft to go and you have an orbital coke bottle!

Mega as a moderator i suggest you try to be a good exemple and use the scientificly correct units. SI units

I am not sure how well the original poster would respond, since they used feet so did I. But just for you - 167Km (give or take a mile or two :wink: )

that is of no relevans. They want to play by tha rules of science by wanting to learn and discuss it therefor they have to learn the scientific units and use them.
The imperial units are as good as dead as a dodo

Well just remember if you want to be a pedant, good science requires good communication as well... 8)

thats exacly why no other units are allowed

A decent standard of prose is what I was alluding to, You learn to spell proper an I'll use SI units KMS - or should that be KMA

Well, it WASNT exaclty as scientific experiment per se, it was more of a drunken fun lets have a go at this kind of experiment.
It was fun while it lasted.
Needless to say everyone was drinking neat shots for the rest of the night

Oh well......Oh, and I could have worked out how far the bottle travelled in a fractional AU. but really, I couldnt be bothered. It managed a few feet, eveyone got wet (especially the girl from next dor wearing only a white t-shirt) - Talk about chemistry !!

Good that means you´ll be my mentor on spelling and i´ll be yours on SI

i skiped a maths lecture to do that once. it was a friday, and it was hot. the ducks in the lake wanted bread, but we didnt have any.



but we didnt even get it off the ground. it was cheap cola.

and perhaps if we knew we could get a noble prize we would have spent the extra euro for propper COKE.
