From now on I'm packing Mentos.

Dupe.

very neat. at first glance at the name and the channels I thought it might be a bit of parody, but it was fun to watch nonetheless, Eia indeed. and it also made me wonder - have there been any mythbusters encounters with diet coke and mentos? must... research... on... intarwebs...


There was. They tested a few things, and tried to figure out which ingredient in the coke or mentos caused the reaction. Conclusion it was a combination of everything.

LOL, he loses it at the very end. I guess chewing mentos/getting caught sticking it to your neighbor's wife is no substitute for thinking about baseball, old naked people, or dead puppies.

Hahaha, yeah, I totally understand. As a general rule, things I write in all caps tend to be joking around. I'm glad that one got promoted back into life.

Sorry, dude. When I was first trying to sift this video I was still pretty new and I simply couldn't get the votes. It only got 3 votes the first time around, so at the last minute I discarded it rather than waiting for it to die. I'm sure you know how it goes.

You're probably right, but I don't want it to go to hell when I'm not paying attention. I don't want some idiot posting Scooby-Doo videos with a "Dark" tag simply because most of the action happens at night time. But I'll think about it.

I like it. I wasn't under the impression that maintaining a channel was all that much work. I think you just basically peak at it for a minute or two each day to make sure the content doesn't suck.

In reply to this comment by kronosposeidon:
Actually I was considering a "Dark" channel. By "Dark" I mean stuff that is moody, or film-noirish, or dark humor, or even non-fictional stuff that makes you feel cynical about the world (example). But it's just a thought for now, because I'm going to be working so much now that I probably won't have time to properly maintain a channel. We'll see.

I'd love to see a Trippy Channel (vids to watch high) or a weird Channel (avant-garde, dark, dada and general strangeness).

Do you have anything in mind?

Okay, I guess that settles it. I'm going with the Mentos channel.

Nice bling, KP. You just don't know how to give up on the Mentos, do you?
