Coke/Mentos-Powered Rocket Car

A pair of Maine performers said their latest video project stars a rocket car powered by Coke Zero and Mentos. Fritz Grobe and Stephen Voltz, of Buckfield, built the vehicle from a modified girl’s bicycle and a utility trailer holding a propulsion unit, which involves 108 two-liter bottles of Coke Zero and 648 Mentos mints. The video will be available beginning today at www.eepybird.com. The performers said they are being careful not to reveal too much about the video, which was directed by “The Fast & the Furious” director Rob Cohen.
