Re: A funny question please leave your opinion ^.^

The guys that do this say that you get a good reaction from regular coke as well, but because diet coke does not have sugar, it is easier to clean up after getting soaked in it.

By the way i think the psychology behind us liking that is not dissimilar to that behind liking fireworks, rockets and other projectiles. We are generally fascinated by things that defy gravity or logic, we are fascinated with things we can not explain, our minds are tuned to detect motion, and because of that, moving things tend to fascinate us more then not moving things, things that make subtle sound arouse our predatory instinct, which gets further reinforced with the movement of an object, (this is not the case with fireworks and rockets, but is with coke). And exploding things, such as the volatile reaction that makes a bottle of diet coke spew a fountain of soda into the air, also give us a small sense of danger, all of which induces the release of endorphins and adrenalin, both of which, unless in a dangerous situation, we tend to enjoy...

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
