How did I not see this earlier (thanks Rob & The 4th Way)?? Those brilliant marketing folks over at Mentos have a new website, and a new intern (named trevor) who will do whatever you tell him to do… within reason. He can’t do anything lewd or illegal. Visit the site: mentosintern.com, and you can watch him via a webcam, chat with him via the built-in chat interface, or give him a call at 857-757-1195. You can also put tasks on his schedule. I just discovered this site today, but I know I’ll come up with things for Trevor to do.

All I have to say about this site is, “I want this job!”

I think movie reviewers are hit or miss, and there isn’t really one out there that I follow religiously. I have somewhat unique taste in movies. Enter “Which Move Reviews Should I Believe?”

Rate a handful of movies on this site, and a few movie reviewers will be recommended to you. My movie tastes line up with:

• Rotten Tomatoes : 78% (this is the site I use most often anyway)
• James Berardinelli : 74%
• Peter Travers : 70%
• Roger Ebert : 68%

We all know that Mentos mixed with soda does crazy things. Did you know that it could also fuel a car? According to this video, it can.

Do you want to drive a Mentos-powered car? Well, you’re in luck. You can make your own Mentos + Soda + Car video at the Mentos Alternative Fuel Experiment. There is also the Mentos Fresh Drive Game where you can race the Mentos/Soda car.

Today is a very Mentos’y day (I guess every day is a Mentos’y day for me though). First spotted on The Scattered Genius blog, then The Consumerist: Apparently Mentos may be putting geyser tubes into their multi-roll packages later this summer. Soon you’ll be able to spray Diet Coke everywhere at home. I guess you could do that before… it will just be easier now. Check out the device in this video.

On May 24th, at Fountain Square in Cincinnati, Ohio, a new Guinness World Record was set for 504 simultaneous Mentos Diet Coke fountains going off at the same time. Mentos and Eepybird (the crazy guys who make the elaborate Mentos fountains) put the event together. They invited participants to show up, who were provided with Mentos goggles and a Mentos rain poncho. The countdown began, and 500+ Mentos fountains were set off at the same time. I was on my way to Ohio that night, and if I had known about this, might have adjusted my plans to take part. Oh well, maybe next time (600 Mentos fountains?!?).
