I knew that Mentos was unofficially delighted about the geyser videos circulating on the internet (with over 5 million hits) as well as the appearance of it on CBS’ NUMB3RS series and later The Late Show with David Letterman.
Little did I realize that they’re looking to give it a little push to continue.
Mentos is running a promotion on a separate website called MentosGeysers.com where they list all the stuff you can win for submitting the next great Mentos Fountain movie.
First prize is 1000 iTunes downloads and a year’s supply of Mentos (which they say is 320 rolls ... no word on whether or not Pink Grapefruit is among the choices).
Even if you just enter you get a cap, tee and towel!

Commenting is not available in this channel entry.I like it that they’re smart enough to enjoy and encourage the attention. A lot of companies would freak out over something like this but they’re smart enough to know free publicity when they see it.
Also, Mythbusters is doing the Mentos & Diet Coke thing on Wednesday. Should be cool.
