This was in the 80's and before wikipedia and snopes...Dummy. It was fun to believe, true or not. You've just ruined it for me. Thanks. I hope you feel good about yourself.

LOL. Go put your leg-warmers back on.

Hey, at least we all still know that the Jersey Devil exists, There's still a good chance these days that you'll wake up in a bathtub full of ice with your kidneys gone, and if you eat mentos and drink coke your head with explode.

You know, he did drown his sorrows in a gallon of whiskey the night he wrote the song, if that helps.

Never ate a mento if for no other reason than their commercials suck! Although, one of their ads would be perfect for this topic. lol

Great minds, lol. The Foo-Fighers mentos video was awesome, you have to admit that.

We've de-railed this one good, lol. Sorry.

BACK ON TOPIC, MAGGOTS!!!!

You're all showing your age. Horribly.

EDIT: Oh yeah, [i]to speak to the OP's point[/i], sometimes eating certain things, like perhaps Mentos, before a game/practice helps you feel good. Ritual preparation works for some people, including specific foods.

I had some Mentos left over after trying the "drop one in a bottle of Diet Coke" experiment so I tried them. They're actually pretty good. By the way, if you've never tried the experiment, you need to. Just get a big bottle of Diet Coke and drop a Mentos into it and run like heck.

I watched a show where a guy put fin stabilizers on a 2-liter and somehow designed the bottle to launch (used a loading device for the Mentos). Yet another weapon in the anti-zombie home defense arsenal...

There's a recipe out there for making a giant chem-lite out of Mountain Dew too.

[Malkavian Raven]

Lets see... Nervousness ...to... Music ...to... Phil Collins ...to... Urban Legends ...to... Mentos ...to... Mountain Dew -- this is why I avoid starting threads as much as possible. (LOL)

Whatchoo talkin' 'bout Willis? A thread with Mentos is never derailed.

[Passepartout]

Either really get panicky or try to put in "mind over matter."

[BloodRaven]

What in the purple hell happened to this thread?!

[George70]

I find that my nervousness is primarily due to anxiety, which I control with medication, as per doctor's orders.

Other than that, I try to stay busy with looking for jobs on the radio, as well as just surfing the 'net, reading, and playing sports board games, not to mention the different music I listen to.

Anger is a quick fix for fear/nerves.

Nope, I saw Mod 3's 'get out of derailed thread free' card. Essentially, it never happened.

[Moderator 3]

I apologize for participating in the derailing. Standards are a bit looser in Off-Topic, but not THAT loose. It seems my "natural devil" made an appearance. Let's try to get back on topic or let this die.

Thanks.
