I have 'notify me' switched on then I go the custom route and choose which updates I d-load. I d-load all but WGA so no it hasn't affected me yet. Hasn't even insisted I d-load it. Unfortunately I do still use the MS stuff (except Winamp has grown on me lately). I have my Mozilla files here but haven't installed them since my complete system re-install. >> ...then try the diet coke video at the bottom of the page... totally >> unrelated but great ;) > > Haa, thats quality, what are the mints though btw? looked like long > thin straws? No idea, never seen Mentos in the UK or I'd be buying several packets for a little fun over the weekend. Grow up? Me? Nah, that's for other folks ;) >>> http://windowssecrets.com/comp/060615/#story1 >>> [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > a little fun over the weekend. Grow up? Me? Nah, that's for other folks > ;) I tried this a couple of months back with polos, also some soft chewy mints whose name escapes me (maybe softmints?) and extra strong mints. Anyway, none worked very well, but the polos seemed to give the best (but still not great) reaction. Apparently, mentos work well because they have a seemingly very smooth surface - it's actually tiny particles on the surface which cause the bubbles to form quickly. > Apparently, mentos work well because they have a seemingly very smooth > surface - it's actually tiny particles on the surface which cause the > bubbles to form quickly. Yup. Follow the links for a really good explanation.... doesn't help tho'.... where the hell in the UK can I get some Mentos this weekend!! >>Apparently, mentos work well because they have a seemingly very smooth >>surface - it's actually tiny particles on the surface which cause the >>bubbles to form quickly. > > Yup.

There is a staggering array of options with a huge range of prices.

I don't know why Coca-Cola would ban them, they don't care if people are buying the bottles to drink or blow up so long as they buy them!

Wasn't the point of the sequence of manual update screenshots, that WGA is hidden within one of the updates, and you didn't get the opportunity to refuse to install it before it was too late?

Not sure what a Mento looks like, but what she *might* have there is a tube of good old British Trebor Extra Strong Mints. If surface roughness is the criterion according to the science bit, I reckon ESMs may just do the job.

Just trying to save you some postage, mate :) Besides, a packet of Tooty Frooties is always well worth opening, even if they don't fizz up your Coke. (Ahhh, childhood sweetie nostalgia...) -- Paul >>>>Oh, right. Tic-Tacs then? >>> [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > -- > Paul lol About 2 months ago, I bought diet coke, diet lemonade and normal lemonade. I tried: Tic tacs, ESMs and Softmints. (It was only to show the kids some science of course) We got a bit of reaction from softmints, but nothing of note from the others. I gave up then, but I am now officially inspired, so I'm going to nip to a few shops and pick as many mints up as I can find. I'll just use Diet Coke, as this seems to be a known quantity. I'll put a page up about it over the next couple of days and post back. "Thad" <spyder@barques.com> wrote in message news:kGelg.161 > Mentos and Diet Coke seems to be the only magic combination. Mentos, yes; Diet Coke, no. We experimented last weekend - "we" being my S.O., his kids (13.5 yo twins), and I - using Coke, root beer, and Sprite, and got geysers from all three. > ...then try the diet coke video at the bottom of the page... totally > unrelated but great ;) That choon in the background is kinda funky, anyone know (or care to search for me) where i can nab it from? >That choon in the background is kinda funky, anyone know (or care to >search for me) where i can nab it from?
