Candy Corn and Root Beer...

by Nicole Weston, Posted Oct 7th 2006 @ 9:37AM

At this point, we all know what happens when you combine Mentos and Diet Coke, but what about combinations of other sodas with other candies? Will they produce similar, or perhaps even more spectacular, results? Thanks to a video linked to by Brian, from Candy Addict, we now know the answer to this subset of life's little mysteries. These film makers bravely tested the following combinations in the name of science: candy corn and root beet, Sweetarts and Sprite and Toucan Toes and milk. Check out the video above to see their results.

I think we'll all sleep a little better tonight, although not quite as good as I'll sleep once I learn where I can get some of those Toucan Toes....

Meanwhile, candy corn and root beer are best consumed separately anyway.

we always knew where those people sat in the theatre b/c the bucket was ALWAYS empty and the bottom was lined with the multicolored residue of m & m stained butter.
