It was to be one of the biggest science experiments ever seen yet there was not a bunson burner or test tube in sight.
Around 1,500 students ---ted out in waterproof ponchos discovered exactly what happens when you drop a mint sweet into a bottle of Coca Cola, in an attempt to break a world record.
The students, from Belgium, tried to out-fizz the previous record for so-called Mentos fountains by simultaneously putting Mentos mints into bottles of the soft drink.
The resultant chemical reaction shot hundreds of streams of carbonated soda into the air.
The explosive record-breaking event was held in Ladeuzeplein square in Leuven, Belgium.
