Product Description
If you have a Geyser Tube you know how addicting that wild eruption can be. Now we have the perfect way for you to share the soda spray with everyone you know! Our Geyser Tube Event Pack is the perfect accessory for any event. Need more Mentos and Geyser Tubes so you can conduct an explosive science fair kit? Just can’t get enough Geysers? Want enough Geyser Tubes for the whole class? We’ll send you plenty of Mentos and Geyser Tubes for as many Geysers as you can produce!
Improvements to the Geyser Tube have taken the geyser-creating tool to a whole new level. The trigger mechanism now has a double pull pin action, making sure there’s no unwanted eruptions. When you’re ready to pull the pin, a tighter seal means that you can achieve a 30 foot geyser with as few as two Mentos candies. Recommended for children 6 and up.
What’s Included?
- Single Mentos and Geyser Tube (individual packaging)
- 10 rolls of Mentos and 10 bulk Geyser Tubes (no packaging)
- 25 rolls of Mentos and 25 bulk Geyser Tubes (no packaging)
- 50 rolls of Mentos and 50 bulk Geyser Tubes (no packaging)
(*2-liter soda bottles not included*)
How Does It Work?
The Geyser Tube is a loading tube for the now famous Diet Coke geyser powered by Mentos. If you’ve ever tried doing the experiment, you know how difficult it can be to drop the Mentos into the bottle before the reaction takes off… and you’re soaking wet. The Geyser Tube will give you a perfect launch every time with time to stand back.
Attach the Geyser Tube to any bottle of soda (but diet soda works best because it’s not sticky – no sugar!) Secure the trigger pin in place. Load the Mentos into the tube, lock the special pressurizing nozzle in place and pull the pin. Oh, by the way, it’s best to pull the pin and then run away. The Mentos drop into the bottle and the powerful soda geyser comes shooting out the top with enough pressure to reach an incredible height of 9 meters (30 feet). That’s a record!
If you’ve never tried this amazing soda experiment, the Geyser Tube will give you a perfect launch every time. If you’re a Mentos geyser pro, you’ll quickly see how to use this device to make the most out of this cool science demo.
What Does It Teach?
The Mentos eruption has become an internet sensation, but there is science behind that soda. Check out our Mentos Geyser experiment for the whole story!
Science Fair Connection:
Setting off a Mentos Geyser isn’t, by itself, a science fair project, but there are some very easy ways to make experimenting with geysers a great science fair project. The key to creating an awesome Mentos Geyser themed science fair project is isolating a variable. A variable is a component of the experiment that changes and, hopefully, alters the experiment. Some examples of possible variables with the Mentos Geyser include:
- Try different brands or types of soda and find a way to measure which erupts the highest.
- Test different numbers of Mentos to find the number of Mentos that creates the tallest geyser.
- Find out what temperature is best for geyser eruptions.
These are just examples of variations that you can try to turn the Mentos Geyser Tube into a science fair project. Remember, you have to keep all other factors the same. If you’re testing different brands of soda, make sure the number of Mentos you use is always the same and that the sodas are kept at the same temperature.

Mike –
I received my 10 rolls of Mentos and 10 geyser tubes within a week of ordering them. Unfortunately, one of the geyser tubes broke during transit, so I had to call Steve Spangler to report the issue. Joy answered my call and promptly sent me a new geyser tube (with a roll of Mentos!) AND a cartesian diver game as a free gift for the inconvenience….. what a great job of customer service!!!

My science and math club students had a ton of fun with this. They each brought in a 2-liter of soda and got to set it off. We had some extras that we put into the soda and mentos powered car and it flew like the wind! It was a hit!

I bought this for my 5th grade Cub Scout group while working on our Science pin requirements. The tubes were very easy to use and the boys had a BLAST (no pun intended haha)! The coke shot up so high! Lots of fun.

can the giser mentos be reused if the soda is collected in the same bottle and rementosed,

The soda would not be reusable. You need the carbonation in the soda in order to make it work properly. Good question, though.

Can it be any diet soda ? I happen to have diet ginger ale on hand.

You encourage you to try any soda. We have just found the Coke brand seems to be the best and we recommend diet so you don’t have a sticky mess to deal with later.

Can you reuse the tube again and again or do you need a new tube each time you do the experiment?

The Geyser Tube is reusable. The only thing you’ll need to replace is the Soda and the Mentos. After use, make sure to rinse the Geyser Tube under water to clean away any soda residue. Enjoy the experience.
