Who hasn’t heard of the Diet Coke/Mentos reaction? Those aren’t in the know should check out this here first embedded video of 2006, where you’ll learn what happens when you combine the two:
In what can only be attributed to an uncanny piece of quick acting for a large organization, Mentos has gone ahead and announced a Mentos Geyser Video Contest will begin later this month, complete with domain name!

All your snakes are belong to us
That Snakes thing was awesome. However, can someone please fill me in on the origins of the “belong to us” reference. I know this has been floating around the web, for quite some time – but I obviously missed out on the initial joke.
Wikipedia strikes again. heres your answers Cliff.
“All your base are belong to us” (often referred to as “All Your Base” or abbreviated AYBABTU, AYBAB2U, or simply AYB) is an Engrish phrase that sparked an Internet phenomenon in 2001 and 2002. The text is taken from the opening cut scene of the English version of the 1989 Japanese video game Zero Wing by Toaplan. While the translation was generally poor, this phrase stood out as particularly humorous. From mid-to-late 2000 many images were digitally altered so that the phrase was added in, either obviously or discreetly, led by the Something Awful Forums[1]. Some of these images were compiled with those created and posted to a forum thread on TribalWar.com by their members; one of whom, known only as “Bad_CRC”, created the AYBABTU Flash animation that was widely downloaded and later featured on various online and televised news outlets.
