INSTRUCTIONS: How to use your new Mentos™ and Diet Coke™ Toilet Blaster™:

Screw the Flexi-Cap™ (the thing that looks like a toilet-plunger head with a hole in the middle) onto the top of a two-liter bottle of freshly-opened Diet Coke™. Put a roll of Mentos™ into the Flexi-Tube™ (the thing that looks like a condom). Squeeze a little air out of the bottle, and slide the Flexi-Tube™ and Mentos™ into the opening of the Flexi-Cap™, so the Mentos™ are in the Diet Coke™ bottle, separated from the liquid by the Flexi-Tube™, which is held by the lip inside the hole in the Flexi-Cap™.

Keep squeezing the bottle, and invert it into the clogged toilet, making a good seal with the Flexi-Cap™, as with any other toilet plunger. Relax the squeeze on the bottle, so the Flexi-Tube™ and the Mentos™ get sucked up into the bottle.

As the Mentos™ and the Diet Coke™ begin to react, press firmly on the base of the two-liter bottle, to hold the Flexi-Cap™'s seal against the toilet.

The pressure of the foaming mix of Mentos™ and Diet Coke™ will blast out any clog, as long as a good seal is maintained. So hold on tight!

The foaming Diet Coke™ will clean away stains just as Coca-Cola™ does, while the Mentos™ will leave the toilet smelling minty fresh. Yummy!

       This is something akin to what happens when people discover the Character Map.

       I'm all for more efficient plumbing tools, but heaven help the poor soul who experiences technical difficulties.

       Just use a depth charge. Oops, just destroyed the bathroom. Maybe your idea does work better (+)

       Character Map is how I did it, and deliberately got a bit silly©.   

       Thanks, [jutta], I changed all the © to ™. I shoulda known.

       If you could point it in the other direction and make it seat-activated, this would be a dandy practical joke.

       What a brilliant idea! Makes me think to do this at the next party:   

       1) Drain cistern   

       2) Fill cistern with Diet Coke   

       3) Leave a few Mentos lanquishing at the bottom of the toilet well   

       4) Close the toilet door   

       5) Retire to a safe distance

       Waste of perfectly good dietCoke in my rather addicted opinion.

       Whoopie Cushions be warned. There's a new joker in town!   

       Brilliant. And ever so fresh smelling!

blissmiss, Oct 18 2007
  

       [Noexit]Why? It's just cutting out the middle-man, afterall

Dub, Oct 18 2007
  

       Just don't drink out of the toilet.

Jscotty, Oct 18 2007
  

       [Noexit], "good diet coke" is an oxymoron.

normzone, Oct 18 2007
  

       i'm with [normzone]. there's nothing right about the stuff.

       //Just don't drink out of the toilet//   

       Unless of course you are dining at a fast food chain where it might be cleaner than the contents of the ice making machine (link).
