Mentos to Launch Geyser Video Contest

After Mentos caught wind of all this video that displayed explosive geysers when Mentos and Diet Coke are combined, Mentos said, “Cool. This is great.” Coke, apparently suffering from some sort of refusal to believe the way advertising message are conveyed have changed dramatically said, “It’s an entertaining phenomenon. We would hope people want to drink more than try experiments with it.” Right. Anyway, Mentos is leveraging (oh, I hate that word) the trendlet and will launch the Mentos Geyser Video Contest in mid-July. As B.L. Ochman reports, the contest will encourage people to send in their best videos of the mixture and, presumably, win prizes for their efforts. Coke, on the other hand, will likely sit this one out but, at the same time, thanks Mentos for encouraging people to buy Diet Coke. Yup, it’s a win-win.
