Fill the chamber with as much gas as you want. We say: the more butane the better. Then go outside and let it rip. Turn the bottle upside down, watch the highly flammable gas mix with the carbon dioxide in your Coke, and boom there goes your rocket flying into space.

How many Mentos and coke are in a rocket?
Do not allow them to stick together. Remove 5 to 7 Mentos from the roll. The more Mentos you use, the better the explosion; however, you don't want to the Mentos to dip too far into the Diet Coke otherwise the explosion may begin before you can screw the lid on the bottle.
