During the McKissick stay over here after their Brazil holiday, Josh got a Cola fountain apparatus consisting of Mentos sweets and a Mentos-release tube and string that attached to the bottle of Cola. Technically you're meant to use Coca-Cola, but this is Paraguay so the local Coca-Cola-style stuff is a brand called Niko (it tastes like sugar-free Pepsi).
The event brought out two photographers and the Dreiling family as the gizmo's manufacturer's puff stated the ensuing geyser would be 22ft high.

| With so many mischiefs around, it was was for Jeff to be the one to set things up, especially inside. |
 |
| The bomb prepared for detonation and carried outside to the testing site, the carrier wearing a t-shirt expressing our sentiments. |
 |
| Square in the middle of the lawn the explosive was readied. |
 |
| Josh pulled the cord and ran as it immediately reacted and sent up a 5ft spray. |
 |
| It reaches about 14ft and tails off inside of 3 seconds. |
 |
| It made everybody smile, but Tyler (2nd left) summed up the events 4 seconds after the event was over (a full 7 seconds after detonation), 'Well that was a waste of coke.' |
