Current Entry: Mentos Challenge
Why it took so long for Winter Camp to drop Mentos candies into diet cola is a puzzler, but it was only on the last day of Winter Camp XXXII-several years after the combination found great popularity outside Winter Camp-that that experiment was performed at camp. Five brands of diet pop-Faygo cola, Diet Rite Cola, Diet Coke, Caffeine-Free Diet Coke, and Meijer root beer-were put to the Mentos test. Diet Rite appeared to give the best foaming, but Winter Camp's results were less than overwhelming. In the event's return on Day One of Winter Camp XXXIII, the effervescence was considerably better.
