The Manhattan Project

I stumbled upon this and I like it... Will I do it? Probably not, because I'm not 13, I just occasionally have the mind of a 13 year-old. So yeah, scratch that, maybe I will do this at some point.

1. Buy the ingredients at your local convenient store: 2 liters of Diet Coke (warm), one pack Mentos candy (mint), and some rum (cheap).

2. Fill an ice tray with water and stick it in the icebox. Just before the liquid solidifies, drop one candy into each cube. Freeze.

3. Combine four cubes and 8 oz. of Diet Coke. Top with 2 oz. of rum. Garnish with a naive smile and serve. Wait five minutes.

4. When the ice melts enough to expose the dense candy's gum arabic to the cola, it'll erupt like a fifth-grade science project.
