There is no better feeling on earth than placing a Mentos in a bottle of Diet Coke. The spray, the surge, the feeling of power: it’s very heaven. But what if you want to make special geysers of foam shaped like mushroom clouds? What then?

Well you go and get this $25 Mentos/Coke kit from EepyBird. The kit includes Mentos, a set of PVC nozzles, and lab glasses. Coke is not included, but you should be able to supply that yourself. The nozzles are cut in different shapes for extra fun including “thin,” “crossed,” and “tiny pinprick hole that will probably make the Coke hurt as it sprays out at your face.” Fun for the whole family, to be sure.

The kit is available now from Make.
