The numerous small pores on the candy's surface catalyze the release of carbon dioxide gas from the soda, resulting in the rapid expulsion of copious amounts of foam. The bottle's narrow neck increases the pressure of the contents, causing a geyser-like effect.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/hKoB0MHVBvM" width="560"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A cool guy, Bluemetal, have share his design of mentos coke cannon. There are 4 choices of spray, round, flat, cross and V.
