The mistake that he made was pouring it into a glass before dropping the Mentos in. This releases a good deal of the carbonation, and makes the reaction less dramatic than if he had dropped it directly into the bottle. Also, if you pay close attention, you can see that he was hit by a truck.

[–]kinnaq 183 points184 points ago

he was hit by a truck (Granite-M, 2012)

[–]micromonas 80 points81 points ago

[–]Problemzone 103 points104 points ago

I am a nice truck, let me explain to you why this shows up.

It is not the first of October yet. I am writing this at 11.54PM; September 30th, 2012.

Still Reddit says i created this account on the 1st of October.

[–]lmmortal 6 points7 points ago

Okay (っ◕‿◕)っ ♥

[–]emohipster 4 points5 points ago

Don't lie to me, truck from the future.

[–]raziel1144 0 points1 point ago

Truck here. I can confirm this.

[–]lunt_le_blunt 0 points1 point ago

which comedian is that?

[–]SunnyD8603 5 points6 points ago

It's just a commercial.

Source: He was hit by a truck.

[–]dyszka4u 0 points1 point ago

lik dys if u cry everytim

[–]dafuq0_0 11 points12 points ago

twist: if you pay close attention the gif ends before you can see the truck pass the table meaning that the truck didnt him just went past him and blocked the cameras view of the guy.

[–]GOODIN10TIONSGUY 22 points23 points ago

You accidentally a word there.

[–]Thickensick 18 points19 points ago

He did not see that one coming.

[–]really_a_dude 8 points9 points ago

I didn't see that one coming

[–]Relberg 6 points7 points ago

Did you hear about the girl who went blind from getting semen in her eye? She didn't see it coming either.

[–]Ozlin 3 points4 points ago

Whomp whomp.

[–]Beau87 0 points1 point ago

And frankly, I think he must be deaf to not hear it coming.

[–]Favom 4 points5 points ago

Yeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhh

[–]al0newestand 0 points1 point ago

Also if I'm not mistaken, those were fruity mentos which have a fruity casing on them preventing the reaction from happening.

[–]abbbe91 79 points80 points ago

you don't put sweets in carlsberg

[–]freddiefranks 50 points51 points ago

Is that Korean Brian Cox?

[–]Icovada 2 points3 points ago

Professor Brian Cox you said?

[–]Grunram 5 points6 points ago

Thanks, now everyone on the bus is staring at me.

[–]ewan90 12 points13 points ago

If anyone doesn't realise, he was hit by a Carlsberg truck, because you dont put sweets in a carlsberg.

VIRAL MARKETING ALERT

[–]rumster 17 points18 points ago

and it's working!!! yay!

[–]Welshie95 18 points19 points ago

Is that a bad thing? I mean, it made me laugh, so who cares if it's marketing? Somebody's obviously doing a good job.

[–]gigitrix 5 points6 points ago

If companies create good content they deserve my eyeballs.

[–]hongkongdryclean 9 points10 points ago

Viral marketing from 2007.

[–]TimothyGonzalez 4 points5 points ago

your point being?

[–]strppngynglad 6 points7 points ago

It's more like an HIV virus

[–]Indydegrees2 2 points3 points ago

depressed? Drink beer and end your life!

[–]TheDanSandwich 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, and now I want some Mentos!

[–]kraven420[S] -2 points-1 points ago

Nice try Carlsberg, I wouldn't drink your piss either.

[–]g3allen10 24 points25 points ago

in other words don't pollute a fucking carlsberg, because if you do one of their beer trucks will hunt you the fuck down

[–]IMASHIRT 13 points14 points ago

So kinda like Stride gum and the Ostriches?

[–]DrunkmanDoodoo 0 points1 point ago

That gives me even more reason to pollute it. I can ambush the truck and get all that free beer!

[–]vishra85 16 points17 points ago

OK I'll admit. I didn't expect that.

[–]stakkar 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, I thought the beer would fizz up hugely too.

[–]Aqueduct 23 points24 points ago

I like how it was a Carlsberg truck that hit him.

[–]flydeloreanfly 83 points84 points ago

"Trucked". YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA- insert truck noise here

HEY! I already said that! Check before you comment.

[–]unbalanced_checkbook 1 point2 points ago

This kills the Mentos.

[–]FridayNightHoops 0 points1 point ago

Those marketing guys should stop using zooms on their viral ad videos. Just take a fucking iPhone (or whatever other smartphone with a good enough cam), hold it and film.

[–]Weskerrun 2 points3 points ago

" I like trains"

[–]dishie 1 point2 points ago

I like turtles.

[–]Weskerrun 0 points1 point ago

Hello mine turtle

[–]Battedpuppy -1 points0 points ago

Don't you mean trucks?

You can only use trains if you have an awkward day or get bad grades.

[–]Weskerrun -1 points0 points ago

Awkward DATE*

[–]Battedpuppy -1 points0 points ago

Sorry it must be something with my brain.

[–]Weskerrun 0 points1 point ago

It's shaped like a train.

[–]FemaCampDirector -2 points-1 points ago

[–]thejameffect -4 points-3 points ago

5 hours no sauce? Cold sauce..

[–]jandrese 3 points4 points ago

Sauce is clearly Carlsberg marketing department.

[–]Problemzone 21 points22 points ago

no it's completely real. He pulls his chair 5cm back and suddenly sits on the street where the nothing expecting Carlsbergtruck driver, who is driving with highway speed on a small side road, hits him.

Happens everyday in Europe.

[–]philmania88 4 points5 points ago

As an American in Europe I can confirm that.

[–]Emperor_Mao -1 points0 points ago

Dunno how you could even tell it was a carlsbergtruck. Bloody nerds.

[–]Problemzone 1 point2 points ago

  1. It is a Carlsberg Add.

  2. The truck has Carlsberg written on the white door of the Truck.

  3. I am familiar with the Brandlogo and you can see parts of it on the trailer.

  4. I drink beer.

[–]Emperor_Mao 0 points1 point ago

We don't have crapsberg beer in my country. And the Gif doesn't show it.

Im assuming its German beer (because there is a place in Germany called carlsberg)?

[–]DukeSpraynard -2 points-1 points ago

American here. i have heard the roads were tight over there, but I would never have guessed that 5cm (~2 inches, Yanks) would be the difference between life and truck-smash.

[–]Problemzone 2 points3 points ago

It's always about life and truck-smash when it comes to beer over here.

[–]Exaskryz -3 points-2 points ago

Whoooosh

[–]DukeSpraynard -3 points-2 points ago

Indubitably.

[–]chaw6887 -2 points-1 points ago

It was a carlsberg truck too

[–]this_sort_of_thing 0 points1 point ago

I know it's not real, but there's such a big urge inside me to hope it was

[–]Problemzone 13 points14 points ago

thats the joke.

[–]DukeSpraynard 0 points1 point ago

Wait, what?

[–]q1o2 -3 points-2 points ago

That truck was going like 95. Yeah, I believe it.

[–]cathillian -3 points-2 points ago

Is it real or fake? Please hold the sarcasm. Sarcasm is dead here, unless your 12.

I know I'll be downvoted, but...

Does anyone else just not like people getting hurt? And like it even less that people are laughing?

[–]nopeitsnotme 1 point2 points ago

It was a commercial. Watch the gif again, it's a Carlsberg truck.
