The Amazing Diet Coke and Mentos Volcano

(New Jersey)
I found a really cool volcano recipe online that really made an amazing effect! You'll need Diet Coke and Mentos to make the reaction!
After you make your volcano and everything, pour diet coke into the hidden bottle and then when you want the explosion to happen add one or a few mentos (at once... not one-by-one). You should do this outdoors!!
And here's the youtube video I saw that really helped me:
Making A Carmacks Kids Club Volcano

3 to 4 cups salt
3 or more cups water and dash of oil
You can make many small ones or one giant one for all to enjoy.
* Knead until good and blended.
* Form with tin can the center of the volcano.
* Place on cookie sheet.
* Put lots of shape detail with ridges and ditches for effect.
* Cook for 1 to 2 hours on low heat in the oven.
* Once cooled, paint with all kinds of browns and greens and grays.
* Let dry for a day or two.
* Take out side and fill tin can 1/2 way with baking soda, then when every one is clear pour in the vinegar.
