We love Steve Spangler, he is the Science guy that we learn tons from.  He has the mentos and diet coke experiment that we love.  One night, Roger decided to use Benson’s mouth in the experiment.  It didn’t create a geyser but it did fizz and bubble in Benson’s mouth.  Steve Spangler would be proud…..
