A pair in the US say they have harnessed the power to create a 'rocket car' with mentos and soda.

A pair in the US who became celebrities by creating geysers from Mentos candies and Diet Coke say they have harnessed that power to create a rocket car.

The contraption created by Fritz Grobe and Stephen Voltz of Buckfield features a utility trailer on the back and a modified girl's bike at the front.

They're offering a teaser of their invention on their website. The full video directed by Rob Cohen of The Fast and the Furious will debut online on Tuesday.

Grobe tells the Sun Journal newspaper that their latest invention uses Coke Zero and has been dubbed The Fizzy and the Furious.

The two, dressed in lab coats and goggles, became Internet celebrities four years ago with their 'experiments' that created geysers by dropping Mentos candies into bottles of Diet Coke.

Several of the grad students in the lab absolutely love to scare the out of newbies with the mentos/coke thing.



We jump on 'em but what can ya do?

It's hilarious to see the looks on the noobs faces!
