How and why this started.

Steve Splanger of stevespanglerscience.com states he has done this experiment over one thousand times on on television, talk shows, science conventions, teacher associations. Nobody really knows how or where this started. though 2 guys from eepybird.com have gone to a lot of trouble to create a fascinating and entertaining video using over 100 2 litre bottles of diet coke to produce a 2 minute video, from which some websites state have earned them over $15,000. This is what has most likely inspired many amateur video producers to do similar.

Since it is so inexpensive these days to produce a video and store it on the internet at places like youtube.com and video.google.com . Additionally the materials are very inexpensive.

This is a very safe experiment, great for kids to experiment with at little cost, though as seen from the many videos ive watched, they are all having a great time.
