Untested Coke-Mentos pea shooter.
June 23, 2008
Ever wanted to shoot someone in the ass from a distance at work? Well I have and I may have come up with a way to do that. The experimental Coke and Mentos pea shooter.
Required to make this is:
Small plastic container with secure lid
Drinking straw
Projectile that fits in straw almost air tight
Diet Coke
Mint Mentos with out the waxy coating
Cutting tool
Plasticine or some other similar product
Okay, once you have all those things you are ready to make the pea shooter, keeping in mind that it hasn’t been tested yet. First get your container and cut a small hole in the side of it near the bottom. This hole needs to be large enough to fit a piece of a Mentos though but small enough to block with your finger. Once you have done that cut a hole just large enough to fit the straw though in the lid. Make sure the hole is off centre and closer to one side of the lid than the other. Put the straw though the hole about 2cm and then on the inside and out side of the lid put some plasticine around the straw to create a seal. Now put your projectile in the part of the straw that will be inside the container making sure it won’t fall out. Pour some diet coke into the container, holding the container on an angle so the coke doesn’t come out the hole. Now you are almost ready to fire it! Put the lid on the container holding it hole side up, take aim, put the piece of Mentos in the hole. Put your finger over the hole to stop the gas coming out and if you are lucky you will shoot the projectile! After you have shot your projectile I don’t know what happens then maybe you get a Coke flame thrower type contraption, be prepared for a mess anyway!
Remember don’t shoot people in the face, don’t shoot your boss and I take no responsibility for anyone who looses their job by making and using this shooter or who is injured in any way.
